DK Eyewitness "Its oceanfront Santa Monica location is great and the large rooms have ocean views."
Time Out "Thankfully the streamline moderne exterior has been preserved; inside, the rooms have been upgraded with hardwood floors." Full review
Gayot "Designed and constructed in the Art Deco style of the late 1930s, this Santa Monica landmark sits proudly on Ocean Avenue on a cliff just above the beach."
BlackBook "Classic hotel on the beach, shines for its Art Deco vibe, inside and out. Rooms elegantly updated and luxuriously appointed."
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Stylish enough to be alluring but not too stuck up or intimidating." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Once a private penthouse, this indoor/outdoor roof lounge retains a sense of glamour from the seaside hotel's heyday in the Golden Age of Hollywood." Full review
Afar Magazine "An art deco icon, built in 1939 for the silver screen stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age, the Hotel Shangri-La is a beachfront beauty made for decadence." Full review
Star Service "Provides business and leisure travelers with a colorful amalgam that blends the booty-centric, after-dark shenanigans of the Viceroy with the more conservative daylight trappings of the Doubletree. " Full review
Jetsetter "Seaside Art Deco hideaway with a rooftop bar and farm-fresh Cali cuisine in Santa Monica." Full review
Zagat "By day, it’s a boisterous, sunshine-drenched hangout, while after dark, it’s a secluded hideout for overnight guests and lucky locals basking in ocean breezes and pricey cocktails." Full review

"Like Ron Burgundy, this elegant tower is staying classy." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The rooms seem an afterthought at New York hotelier Ian Schrager’s celebrity outpost. The Cuban-Asian eatery, pool deck, and hip Sky Bar provide stylish hobnobbing territory."
Travel + Leisure "This fashionable property from the Morgans Hotel Group has endured on West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip since 1996." Full review
Time Out "It still carries a certain amount of star quality, despite several recent changes, not least a redesign by Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz." Full review
Star Service "Rooms facing the front have Hollywood and Sunset Boulevard views, while the preferred units in back have pool views and city views." Full review
Gayot "Though not the fanciest hotel in town, this one is certainly among the hippest."
BlackBook "Rooms may have a little wear and tear, but still a party. Streamlined and modern, with clean colorful lines, baroque flourishes."
Zagat4.3
"This "chichi" West Hollywood star may not be "quite as hip as it used to be", but it's still "full of beautiful people" and remains "visually stunning", with "gorgeous" views of the city."
