Frommer's "With the exception of the Euro beats pumped into the lobby, the Sofitel does everything right." Full review
Concierge "The 295 rooms are flooded with light, and the decor... is a grown-up take on California style. The service is just as polished."
Lonely Planet "The Sofitel is the latest comeback kid among LA's luxe lodges, thanks to a $40 million cash infusion that created a place of sleek sophistication and unfussy ambience." Full review
Time Out "A shopper's paradise but a driver's nightmare—that's the best way to describe the location of this hotel, close to the Beverly Center in the heart of one of the most congested areas in LA." Full review
Star Service "This hotel is still the sole French pedigree in the city, and an excellent ambassador for 21st-century Parisian style. " Full review
Gayot "This 295-room urban retreat underwent a $40 million renovation, resulting in a sophisticated and welcoming nod to the European roots of the Accor group to which it belongs."
BlackBook "Stunning lobby, plush rooms, super luxe bathrooms stocked with prized Lanvin toiletries. Service beyond impeccable."

Condé Nast Traveler "The 295 rooms are flooded with light, and the decor—buttery yellow walls, blond wood accents, ivory lacquered chests—is a grown-up take on California style." Full review

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"."
