Time Out "The newest boutique hotel from Avi Brosh, Palihotel sits on Melrose Avenue's prime retail shopping strip." Full review
Gayot "It's about time the flourishing Fairfax District got a hip hotel to compete with the Farmer's Daughter."
BlackBook "An honest-to-goodness boutique hotel, the intimate, 32-room Palihotel is located quite conveniently amidst the Melrose retail and restaurant mayhem."
Fodor's "This design-centric boutique property on lively Melrose Avenue is in the heart of Hollywood's best shopping and dining and contains Hollywood's dining hot-spot, Hart and the Hunter." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Conspicuously, sweetly ironic. The rough-wood facade makes the two-story building look like an oversized log cabin plunked down in the middle of L.A.'s Fairfax district." Full review
Jetsetter "Boho-glam hipster haven with a dialed-down vibe and lively Lowcountry restaurant." Full review
Travel + Leisure "With just 32 rustic-eclectic rooms, this petite boutique's amenities are surprisingly robust." Full review
goop "As for the rooms, they’re spacious and simple, with quirky design flourishes like antique portraits and velvet settees adding personality to an otherwise straightforwardly comfortable design." Full review

"A clean, comfortable, and historic downtown L.A. boutique that caters primarily to business travelers." Full review
DK Eyewitness "An island of old-world sophistication in the fastpaced Financial District, this 1929 hotel is great for conducting business in style."
Rough Guide "One of the great LA hotels, with modern furnishings in historic 1920s architecture, and attractive rooms, gym, rooftop deck with pool and spa, and swanky Checkers restaurant."
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
Gayot "One of downtown's most comfortable hotels, this property is set amidst a sea of high-rises."
BlackBook "Downtown mainstay for businesspeople and cultural tourists. There's a free town car service between the hotel and sites like Disney Concert Hall and Dorothy Chandler Pavilion."
