Concierge "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."
Fodor's "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."
Oyster Upscale
"A terrific casual restaurant is open 24 hours, and service is surprisingly good." Full review
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.

Gayot "Located... across from the Chinese Theater and just a block from the splashy Hollywood and Highland shopping complex, this 1927 building has undergone quite a renaissance."
BlackBook "Hollywood history not only haunts the place, this is also your best bet to see present stars throwing a pose."

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"."
