DK Eyewitness "An island of old-world sophistication in the fastpaced Financial District, this 1929 hotel is great for conducting business in style."

Star Service "Round-the-clock room service speaks of the intention of exceptional service, which is met not just in print: turndown, shoeshine, valet parking and knowledgeable concierge service." Full review

Ask for a room facing the interior courtyard, both to avoid noise from the Strip and to overlook the heated saline-pool area with its mosaic-tile waterfall and striped lounge chairs.
Lonely Planet "We like this charismatic boutique hotel for its feng shui aesthetic, enormous swimming pool, and rooms sporting such nifty touches as organic bath amenities." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Standing next to the Mondrian, the Grafton has a more accessible and low-key ambience."
Rough Guide "Mid-level boutique hotel with attractive furnishings and CD and DVD players, iPod docks and flat-screen TVs, plus a pool and fitness centre."
Time Out "Formerly a speakeasy and then a rather seedy hotel, the Grafton was given a huge makeover prior to its reopening in 2000." Full review
Star Service "Its modest facilities and youth-oriented style make it a reasonable choice for revelers who prefer to come home to a little peace and quiet." Full review
Gayot "Throw a splash of exotic South Beach Miami onto the Sunset Strip and the result is unique hotel, complete with sweeping L.A. city views."
BlackBook "Simple Sunset villa boasts Boa, and that alone makes it the chic place to be. Cool without trying too hard, while aristocrats think it a glorified Motel 6."
