Concierge "If old-school grandeur is what moves you, you'll get a lot of bang for your buck here."
Fodor's "One of downtown L.A.'s true treasures, the gilded 1923 Beaux Arts masterpiece exudes ambience and history." Full review
Lonely Planet "The gorgeous art-deco health club takes the work out of workout." Full review
Rough Guide "Neoclassical 1923 architecture combined with modern luxury, with a health club modelled on a Roman bathhouse, cherub-and-angel decor, and a view overlooking Pershing Square."
Time Out "Built in 1923, the Biltmore retains the Italian-Spanish renaissance elegance that once enticed such dignitaries as Winston Churchill and JFK." Full review
Star Service "Facing Pershing Square, next to the Los Angeles Library and across from the more intimate, contemporary Hilton Checkers, this is an architectural tour de force that is worth visiting." Full review
Gayot "Designed in Italian Renaissance style, the Millennium Biltmore opened to national acclaim in 1923 and in 1969 was designated a Historical Cultural Landmark."
BlackBook "Downtown heart, Grand façade and Mediterranean soul. Popular since '23 with the Hollywood crowd and tabloid murder buffs (look up Black Dahlia connection)."
Travel + Leisure "This octogenarian grande dame has never looked more beautiful—although, like many L.A. ladies, she’s had some work done." Full review

Frommer's "The "It" hotel of 2011 is the W Hollywood, which opened in January 2010 at the corner of Hollywood and Vine and has been the darling of the dig-me crowd ever since." Full review
Concierge "The 305 studios and suites are done up in a modern palette of whites and grays, but it's the Hollywood location that sets this hotel apart."
Fodor's "Just off the historic intersection of Hollywood and Vine and above a busy Metro station, the W Hollywood is ultra-modern and outfitted for the wired traveler." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Rooms live up to the hype generated by your red-carpet arrival." Full review
Time Out "Nestled in the heart of Hollywood, the glitzy hotel pulls out the red carpet (literally) with its rooftop pool and lounge, grand spiral staircase, Bliss spa and famous Sunday night jazz." Full review
Star Service "In short, it is a modern free-for-all: one part hotel, one part nightclub, one part residential development and one part neon billboard." Full review
Gayot "Located at the legendary crossroads of Hollywood and Vine, this W Hotels' outpost brings the Walk of Fame right to your doorstep."
BlackBook "Extravagant W near HWood tourist hubbub. Business types come for massive party atmo. Rooms typical W, stylish, small."

""Never-wanna-get-up beds" tempt guests to "sleep all day" in the "modern" rooms at this "swanky", "pricey" Hollywood hot spot, but few can resist the view from the rooftop pool."

"Located on Hollywood Boulevard, W Hollywood is in the center of the neighborhood's party scene, and its bars and rooftop pool are popular local nightspots." Full review
