"The most opulent of Disney's Anaheim hotels, this Craftsman-style luxury property has guest rooms with views of the California Adventure park and Downtown Disney." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"The price tag is a bit steep at this 751-room resort designed in richly wooded Craftsman style, but standard rooms sleep up to two adults and four kids."
Frommer's
"Disney didn't miss the details when constructing this enormous version of an Arts and Crafts-era lodge... hiring craftspeople... to contribute one-of-a-kind tiles, furniture, sculpture, and artwork." Full review
Jetsetter

If you want to avoid lines, book The Magic Morning package offered to guests of the three Disneyland Resort hotels that lets you into the park an hour before the official 8 A.M. opening.
Lonely Planet
"Soaring timber beams rise above the cathedral-like lobby of the six-story Grand Californian, Disney’s homage to the Arts and Crafts architectural movement."
Travel + Leisure
"Disneyland's choicest digs, done in traditional Craftsman style. In addition to kid- and adult-friendly fare, California Adventure Park is just a turnstile away. Everybody wins." Full review
Time Out

"The nightlife scene has cooled; while Teddy's is still filled with young Hollywood starlets, the Tropicana has quieted into a romantic, relaxed place for drinks."

"Think hip bachelor pad when considering the Roosevelt." Full review
Insight Guides
"Legendary landmark hotel with lots of Art Deco trimmings, but its palm-shaded pool and sleek steakhouse make this a modern-day, happening scene."

DK Eyewitness
"A stone’s throw away from Hollywood and Highland is this famous Hollywood hotel."
Rough Guide
"The first hotel built for the movie greats in 1927. The place reeks of atmosphere, with boutique rooms, cabanas and suites, plus a jacuzzi, fitness room and swimming pool."
Time Out
"After a 2003 restoration by designer Dodd Mitchell, this 1927 landmark, a beautiful example of Spanish colonial design, once more welcomed the A-listers who frequented it during Hollywood's heyday." Full review
Star Service
"This may look laidback and loungey compared to the newer, neon-flavored W Hotel, but this place is the area's leader for trendsetters.

BlackBook
"Hollywood history not only haunts the place, this is also your best bet to see present stars throwing a pose."
