Fodor's "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.
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."

Time Out "Palihouse arrives on the Westside, inside a historic 1920s Spanish Colonial building, steps from the Third Street Promenade." Full review
Star Service "Service is attentive, rooms are generally oversize, and there are a number of the units that sport kitchens and kitchenettes aimed at attracting well-paid long-stay guests." Full review
Gayot "Just a stroll from the Pacific and mere blocks from posh Montana Avenue and the lively Third Street Promenade."
BlackBook "In an opulent 1927 Moorish revival building, the new Palihouse Santa Monica has an even cozier feel than its Melrose counterpart."
Fodor's "Palihouse Santa Monica caters to design-minded world travelers craving spacious rooms and suites decked out in whimsical antiques." Full review
Afar Magazine "For a beachside pied-à-terre, Palihouse Santa Monica is surprisingly moody and dramatic, with nary a white linen slipcover or seashell detail in sight." Full review
Jetsetter "A new Santa Monica stay with vintage touches near shops, restaurants and the beach." Full review
Wallpaper "The historical 36-room landmark features classic examples of Moorish-influenced Mediterranean architecture." Full review
