Frommer's "The "It" hotel of 2011 is the W Hollywood, which opened in January 2010 at the corner of Hollywood and Vine and has been the darling of the dig-me crowd ever since." Full review
Concierge "The 305 studios and suites are done up in a modern palette of whites and grays, but it's the Hollywood location that sets this hotel apart."
Fodor's "Just off the historic intersection of Hollywood and Vine and above a busy Metro station, the W Hollywood is ultra-modern and outfitted for the wired traveler." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Rooms live up to the hype generated by your red-carpet arrival." Full review
Time Out "Nestled in the heart of Hollywood, the glitzy hotel pulls out the red carpet (literally) with its rooftop pool and lounge, grand spiral staircase, Bliss spa and famous Sunday night jazz." Full review
Star Service "In short, it is a modern free-for-all: one part hotel, one part nightclub, one part residential development and one part neon billboard." Full review
Gayot "Located at the legendary crossroads of Hollywood and Vine, this W Hotels' outpost brings the Walk of Fame right to your doorstep."
BlackBook "Extravagant W near HWood tourist hubbub. Business types come for massive party atmo. Rooms typical W, stylish, small."

""Never-wanna-get-up beds" tempt guests to "sleep all day" in the "modern" rooms at this "swanky", "pricey" Hollywood hot spot, but few can resist the view from the rooftop pool."

"Located on Hollywood Boulevard, W Hollywood is in the center of the neighborhood's party scene, and its bars and rooftop pool are popular local nightspots." Full review

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
OysterUpper-middle-range
"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."
Travel + Leisure "Behind the Marmont’s lush, paparazzi-shielding hedges, discretion and privacy rule—a trait that has made it an infamous favorite of celebrities." Full review
Time Out "One of the many beautiful things about this Hollywood Hills fixture is that it's barely changed over the decades." Full review
Star Service "Overflowing with Hollywood history and patina, this hotel is filled with style and grace, something this town is in short supply of. " Full review
