BlackBook

"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

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