Frommer's "Hidden away just a stone's throw from the Getty Center and busy I-405... The overall ambience is very relaxing." Full review
Concierge "The leafy hillside property is peaceful enough to make you forget that the hotel's actually just a stone's throw from the massive 405 Freeway."
Fodor's "On seven landscaped acres near the Getty Center, the Luxe feels like a secluded country club—but it's also next to the I–405 for easy freeway access." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A lovely property with lush landscaping, this is conveniently located right next to Freeway 405. Spacious rooms in soothing colors feature extras such as DSL and fax machines."
Gayot "Located just west of the 405, this hotel is close to the Getty Center, Beverly Hills and Westside parks and beaches."
Time Out "A true urban retreat, the Luxe is situated on seven acres of lush grounds, replete with a heated outdoor pool, tennis courts, spa, on-site restaurant, and generously proportioned guest rooms." Full review
Jetsetter "Modern belle of Bel Air with tennis courts, heated pool, spa and seasonal Cali fare." Full review
Star Service " This is an excellent hotel, a posh yet unassuming place, but the din of near-constant traffic at the pool can be grating." Full review
U.S. News & World Report25.0
"This Brentwood hotel has chic, modern furnishings that visitors love and a relaxed staff that's more than willing to entertain the whims of their guests." Full review

And the in-house eatery, On Sunset Restaurant, dishes out California cuisine with a hint of French flair (don't miss the jazz brunch on Sundays).
Michelin Guide "If anything the rooms are even more stylish than the public spaces, and they’re long on comfort as well. The look is sleek and contemporary, the interiors clearly designed rather than just decorated" Full review

Oyster4.0
"It's best known for its sexy bar and pool scenes, but the Viceroy boasts substance as well." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The couple behind the stylish Maison 140 and Avalon has created a fantasy environment that transports guests back in time to Colonial England."
Concierge "This 162-room hotel was so hot when it opened in 2002 that it immediately became the Viceroy Group's flagship hotel."

Try to get one of the rooms on the upper floors, with views of the ocean a couple of blocks away.
Frommer's "Still on L.A.'s coveted "in" list, is this überchic Santa Monica boutique hotel." Full review

Splurge for an oceanview room; the only other view is of the hotel parking lot.
Travel + Leisure "Though the exterior—a white boxy slab—doesn’t invite a second glance, the interiors here marry retro-chic with pure whimsy." Full review
Time Out "A decade on from its 2002 opening, the Viceroy remains the hippest hotel on the west side. More crucially, though, it's also its most stylish and impressive operation." Full review
Star Service "Young, well-heeled business and leisure travelers and those who deplore a fuss do best here. " Full review
Gayot "China plates and an oversized cameo adorn the walls of the lobby, filled with white-leather lounges and wooden floors."
