"It's easy to tap into the Sunset Strip energy here, especially at the hotel's new Olive Kitchen Bar restaurant and rock-n-roll–styled lounge, the Cutting Room." 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.

"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."

"Oscar-night headquarters for the frenzy of participants and paparazzi attending the Academy Awards in the Kodak Theatre next door... shares the same block as two of the city's most famous landmarks." Full review

"Part of the massive Hollywood & Highland shopping and entertainment complex, this 20-story Renaissance is at the center of Hollywood's action." Full review

"A large, midrange chain property that draws primarily business travelers, the Loews Hollywood lacks the glitz and glamour that Hollywood connotes." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Managed by Marriott, this art-filled high-rise overlooks Hollywood and Highland."
Rough Guide
"The centrepiece of the Hollywood & Highland mall, with arty, boutique-style rooms and suites and a prime location in the heart of Tinseltown."
Star Service
"Looking trendier than in the past, this is not a deluxe offering, though it offers solid standards all around; service is a strong point and staff are geared to upper-midrange business travelers." Full review
Gayot
"This twenty-story building rises out of the Hollywood & Highland complex, which contains the Dolby Theatre (home to the Academy Awards) and an assortment of shops and restaurants."
BlackBook
"Step one: Take over the former Renaissance hotel. Step two: Insert Exhale Spa. Step three: Throw in $25 million for a renovation. Results: A contemporary, 632-room hotel with oodles of style."

"Great-for-families hotel in the middle of the Hollywood action." Full review
