Frommer's "In the heart of Beverly Hills, this boxlike eight-story hotel has been attracting city business travelers, movie stars, U.S. presidents, royalty, and tourists alike since 1955." Full review
Fodor's "Home of the Golden Globe Awards, the Beverly Hilton is as polished as its glitzy address after some pricey renovation." Full review

"This 569-room Beverly Hills hotel, the site of the Golden Globes, excels at affordable luxury." Full review
Rough Guide "This prominent, geometric white hotel at the corner of Wilshire and Santa Monica boulevards has a pool and gym, plus in-room plasma TVs, boutique decor and balconies."
Time Out "Thanks to a remodel in 2007-2008 the rather tired decor has been replaced by a look that's both comfortable and handsome, classic but not wedged in the past." Full review
Star Service "One-half mile west of Rodeo Drive, this vast, nearly 9-acre hotel remains the largest, most commercial hotel in 90210 and one that leans heavily on conventions, tour groups and splashy media events." Full review
Gayot "All of the lovely rooms come with high-speed Internet access, and most boast lavish bathrooms and terraces with city views."
BlackBook "Cabana buffs chill by the pool awaiting more cooling mist and hairless boys. Health buffs get treadmills delivered to their rooms--those in the Wiltshire Tower are chicest."

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"."
