Fodor's "Glamorous socializing takes place in the pool and cabana area amid all-white armchairs and divans." Full review
Insight Guides "An urban retreat on the beach with a sauna and whirlpool."
Oyster4.0
"It's best known for its sexy bar and pool scenes, but the Viceroy boasts substance as well." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The couple behind the stylish Maison 140 and Avalon has created a fantasy environment that transports guests back in time to Colonial England."
Concierge "This 162-room hotel was so hot when it opened in 2002 that it immediately became the Viceroy Group's flagship hotel."

Try to get one of the rooms on the upper floors, with views of the ocean a couple of blocks away.
Frommer's "Still on L.A.'s coveted "in" list, is this überchic Santa Monica boutique hotel." Full review
i
Splurge for an oceanview room; the only other view is of the hotel parking lot.
Travel + Leisure "Though the exterior—a white boxy slab—doesn’t invite a second glance, the interiors here marry retro-chic with pure whimsy." Full review
Time Out "A decade on from its 2002 opening, the Viceroy remains the hippest hotel on the west side. More crucially, though, it's also its most stylish and impressive operation." Full review
Star Service "Young, well-heeled business and leisure travelers and those who deplore a fuss do best here. " Full review
Gayot "China plates and an oversized cameo adorn the walls of the lobby, filled with white-leather lounges and wooden floors."

Frommer's "The CBS Studios across the street recommends the budget motel to its game show fans, but I recommend it just because I dig this chic little lodge." Full review

Request a room facing the alley -- the view is terrible, but you don't get the 24-hour road noise off Fairfax Avenue.
Concierge "You won't find actual farmers here, but the famous Farmers Market is just a short walk from this cute, family-owned hotel."
Fodor's "A favorite of The Price Is Right and American Idol hopefuls... this motel has a tongue-in-cheek country style: rooms are upholstered in blue gingham with denim bedspreads." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Denim bedspreads and rocking chairs give this flirty motel a groovy farmhouse vibe." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The “price is right” at this motel opposite the Original Farmers Market and CBS, which explains show contestants taping at the TV studio."
Rough Guide "Conveniently located across from (naturally) the Farmers Market,this is a newly renovated boutique property with internet access, DVD players, flat-screen TVs and elements of Midwestern kitsch."
Travel + Leisure "Straddling the line between Hollywood and West Hollywood/Beverly Hills, the Farmer’s Daughter Hotel offers travelers a bit of Southern hospitality in the City of Angels." Full review
Time Out "You can tell instantly that this was once a basic motel. It's a credit to the new owners of the gingham-giddy Farmer's Daughter that it feels pretty fresh." Full review
Star Service "Solo travelers will fit comfortably into the single rooms, but the larger double rooms are best for two travelers. Rooms with glimpses of the Hollywood sign are popular." Full review
Gayot "In a city where facelifts don't always work out the way one hopes they will, this family-owned motel has nothing to worry about."
