"A stone’s throw away from Hollywood and Highland is this famous Hollywood hotel."

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

"This may look laidback and loungey compared to the newer, neon-flavored W Hotel, but this place is the area's leader for trendsetters.
