Concierge "It's no longer the center of the universe, but it's still a super-sexy spot that attracts, well, the super-sexy."
Fodor's "A city club attitude pervades at the spendy Mondrian." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Like Ron Burgundy, this elegant tower is staying classy." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The rooms seem an afterthought at New York hotelier Ian Schrager’s celebrity outpost. The Cuban-Asian eatery, pool deck, and hip Sky Bar provide stylish hobnobbing territory."
Travel + Leisure "This fashionable property from the Morgans Hotel Group has endured on West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip since 1996." Full review
Time Out "It still carries a certain amount of star quality, despite several recent changes, not least a redesign by Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz." Full review
Star Service "Rooms facing the front have Hollywood and Sunset Boulevard views, while the preferred units in back have pool views and city views." Full review
Gayot "Though not the fanciest hotel in town, this one is certainly among the hippest."
BlackBook "Rooms may have a little wear and tear, but still a party. Streamlined and modern, with clean colorful lines, baroque flourishes."
Zagat4.3
"This "chichi" West Hollywood star may not be "quite as hip as it used to be", but it's still "full of beautiful people" and remains "visually stunning", with "gorgeous" views of the city."

"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."
