Fodor's "Low-rise and extremely luxurious, residential-style bungalows built between 1920 and 1946 are outfitted like minimansions, complete with butler service." Full review
Oyster4.0
"Luxurious (though small) rooms, an excellent spa, and a devoted staff make this five-acre, 302-room property one of the best hotels in Santa Monica." Full review
DK Eyewitness "On the site of the private home of Santa Monica’s founder, Senator John Jones, the Miramar has welcomed guests since the roaring 1920s."

For the ultimate in luxury, book a poolside garden bungalow.
Rough Guide "Swanky hotel that’s a fixture near the north end of the Promenade, with designer-furnished suites and tropical-flavoured bungalows."
Travel + Leisure "Since the 1920s, privacy-seeking Hollywood starlets—among them Greta Garbo and Marilyn Monroe—have found refuge at this bluff-perched resort overlooking Santa Monica beach." Full review
Time Out "The Miramar has been pampering the glamorous and the powerful in California for nearly a century: past guests have included everyone from Greta Garbo to Bill Clinton." Full review
Star Service "It boasts the city's finest meeting space amid lovely gardens, and panoramic ocean views are visible from top-floor venues and accommodations." Full review

Because of their proximity to the rear entrance, and thus their lack of privacy, Bungalows 152, 153 and 156 should be avoided at all costs.
Gayot "It is a place of legend, beginning with the awesome Moreton Bay fig tree that is the centerpiece of the beautiful courtyard at the entrance."
BlackBook "Pool, spa and glorious seclusion in rooms from two towers or private bungalows—some with ocean-hanging balconies."
Zagat4.5
"A "special hotel for a special occasion", this "romantic" Santa Monica "grande dame" pairs "world-class" service with "upscale rooms" and "exquisite bungalows"."

Frommer's "A whimsical tapestry of living art... The whole place is visually compelling." Full review
Concierge "Love it or hate it, there's no denying that the details are impressive."

Book a room on a high floor to avoid lackluster views of low-rise apartment complexes.
Lonely Planet "A somewhat gaudy, somewhat sleek, centrally located habitat." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Friendly and efficient staff, a business center with high-speed Internet access, and meeting rooms with assets such as teleconferencing and video equipment are just some of the great perks."
Travel + Leisure "Combine Philippe Starck’s exuberant interiors with the genius for tapas of chef José Andrés and the retail vision of design curator Murray Moss, and you have a hotel unlike any other." Full review
Time Out "The ultra-modern (and ultra-pricey), SLS Beverly Hills is a design dream where visual (over) stimulation abounds and your eyes are blinded by so many white leather sofas." Full review
Star Service "In the heart of Restaurant Row, a short stroll to Beverly Center mall, this daring artistic venture exhibits the amped-up designs of style impresario Philippe Starck." Full review
i
Select second-floor guest rooms boast terraces; upgrades are available by request.
BlackBook "Mega luxury in the form of pools, fitness suites, all-access concierge, and 24-hour browsing of Moss merchandise set up throughout the restaurant, lobby, and lounges."
Zagat4.7
"This "classy" yet "cheeky" Philippe Starck–designed Beverly Grove "boutique" feels "like another world" (or at least "Las Vegas") thanks to "gorgeous" rooms."
Afar Magazine "Beautiful and dramatic, the SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills is a fantasy of design, set right in the heart of Los Angeles’ most decadent neighborhoods." Full review
