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
Gayot "One of downtown's most comfortable hotels, this property is set amidst a sea of high-rises."

Concierge "The nightlife scene has cooled; while Teddy's is still filled with young Hollywood starlets, the Tropicana has quieted into a romantic, relaxed place for drinks."
Fodor's "Think hip bachelor pad when considering the Roosevelt." Full review
Insight Guides "Legendary landmark hotel with lots of Art Deco trimmings, but its palm-shaded pool and sleek steakhouse make this a modern-day, happening scene."
Oyster Upscale
"A terrific casual restaurant is open 24 hours, and service is surprisingly good." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A stone’s throw away from Hollywood and Highland is this famous Hollywood hotel."
Rough Guide "The first hotel built for the movie greats in 1927. The place reeks of atmosphere, with boutique rooms, cabanas and suites, plus a jacuzzi, fitness room and swimming pool."
Time Out "After a 2003 restoration by designer Dodd Mitchell, this 1927 landmark, a beautiful example of Spanish colonial design, once more welcomed the A-listers who frequented it during Hollywood's heyday." Full review
Star Service "This may look laidback and loungey compared to the newer, neon-flavored W Hotel, but this place is the area's leader for trendsetters.

Gayot "Located... across from the Chinese Theater and just a block from the splashy Hollywood and Highland shopping complex, this 1927 building has undergone quite a renaissance."
BlackBook "Hollywood history not only haunts the place, this is also your best bet to see present stars throwing a pose."
