Frommer's "The funky luxury oasis revels in its lore-filled past, yet it's hipper and more exclusive than ever." Full review
Concierge "Although it sits at the eastern end of the Sunset Strip, it's set so high up from the road and surrounded by such dense vegetation that it feels like a secret oasis."
Fodor's "Celebs like Johnny Depp appreciate this swanky hotel for its secluded cottages, bungalows, and understated suites and penthouses." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Its French-flavored indulgence may look dated, but this faux castle has long lured A-listers with its five-star mystique and legendary discretion." Full review

"As Hollywood's most notorious celebrity hideaway, the Chateau Marmont is the best spot for A-list sightings, especially in its two fantastic (yet reasonably priced) restaurants." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Famous recluses such as Greta Garbo holed up in this quirky French castle-style hotel, whose policy of discretion still ensures steady celebrity bookings."
Rough Guide "Iconic, Norman Revival hotel, which resembles a dark castle or Hollywood fortress and has hosted all manner of celebrities."

Ask for a room facing the interior courtyard, both to avoid noise from the Strip and to overlook the heated saline-pool area with its mosaic-tile waterfall and striped lounge chairs.
Lonely Planet "We like this charismatic boutique hotel for its feng shui aesthetic, enormous swimming pool, and rooms sporting such nifty touches as organic bath amenities." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Standing next to the Mondrian, the Grafton has a more accessible and low-key ambience."
Rough Guide "Mid-level boutique hotel with attractive furnishings and CD and DVD players, iPod docks and flat-screen TVs, plus a pool and fitness centre."
Time Out "Formerly a speakeasy and then a rather seedy hotel, the Grafton was given a huge makeover prior to its reopening in 2000." Full review
Star Service "Its modest facilities and youth-oriented style make it a reasonable choice for revelers who prefer to come home to a little peace and quiet." Full review
Gayot "Throw a splash of exotic South Beach Miami onto the Sunset Strip and the result is unique hotel, complete with sweeping L.A. city views."
BlackBook "Simple Sunset villa boasts Boa, and that alone makes it the chic place to be. Cool without trying too hard, while aristocrats think it a glorified Motel 6."
Zagat4.2
""Close to everything", this "sooo stylish" Sunset Strip boutique has rooms decorated with a Hollywood twist."
