"This 569-room Beverly Hills hotel, the site of the Golden Globes, excels at affordable luxury." Full review
Rough Guide "This prominent, geometric white hotel at the corner of Wilshire and Santa Monica boulevards has a pool and gym, plus in-room plasma TVs, boutique decor and balconies."
Time Out "Thanks to a remodel in 2007-2008 the rather tired decor has been replaced by a look that's both comfortable and handsome, classic but not wedged in the past." Full review
Star Service "One-half mile west of Rodeo Drive, this vast, nearly 9-acre hotel remains the largest, most commercial hotel in 90210 and one that leans heavily on conventions, tour groups and splashy media events." Full review
Gayot "All of the lovely rooms come with high-speed Internet access, and most boast lavish bathrooms and terraces with city views."
BlackBook "Cabana buffs chill by the pool awaiting more cooling mist and hairless boys. Health buffs get treadmills delivered to their rooms--those in the Wiltshire Tower are chicest."

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

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."
