Avoid only summer, when morning fog can hang over the coast and the boardwalk gets crowded.

Oyster4.0
"A design-conscious, thoroughly un-beachy 18-floor hotel in the center of a beachside community with an exceptional restaurant." Full review
Time Out "There's something of the W chain about this operation, located in the building that previously housed a branch of the unremarkable Radisson chain." Full review
Star Service "With that said, travelers here may have to work to get to the action, but they are still within strolling distance of the pier, beach, shopping and entertainment." Full review
Gayot "This intimate residential tower is set amidst quaint seaside apartment buildings and cottages just blocks from the sea cliffs above the Santa Monica Beach and Pier."
BlackBook "Ocean chic is what it's all about at this it hotel on the shores of tawny Santa Monica. Seaside retreat, but with a touch of cool."
Zagat4.3

Frommer's "Oscar-night headquarters for the frenzy of participants and paparazzi attending the Academy Awards in the Kodak Theatre next door... shares the same block as two of the city's most famous landmarks." Full review

"A large, midrange chain property that draws primarily business travelers, the Loews Hollywood lacks the glitz and glamour that Hollywood connotes." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Managed by Marriott, this art-filled high-rise overlooks Hollywood and Highland."
Rough Guide "The centrepiece of the Hollywood & Highland mall, with arty, boutique-style rooms and suites and a prime location in the heart of Tinseltown."
Star Service "Looking trendier than in the past, this is not a deluxe offering, though it offers solid standards all around; service is a strong point and staff are geared to upper-midrange business travelers." Full review
Gayot "This twenty-story building rises out of the Hollywood & Highland complex, which contains the Dolby Theatre (home to the Academy Awards) and an assortment of shops and restaurants."
BlackBook "Step one: Take over the former Renaissance hotel. Step two: Insert Exhale Spa. Step three: Throw in $25 million for a renovation. Results: A contemporary, 632-room hotel with oodles of style."
