"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
"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."
"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
Top Choice
"Rooms live up to the hype generated by your red-carpet arrival." Full review
"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
"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
"Located at the legendary crossroads of Hollywood and Vine, this W Hotels' outpost brings the Walk of Fame right to your doorstep."
"Extravagant W near HWood tourist hubbub. Business types come for massive party atmo. Rooms typical W, stylish, small."
4.5
""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."
Upscale
"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

"This hushed hideaway is embraced by gardens and delivers 1920s charm by the bucket." Full review
"Palihouse arrives on the Westside, inside a historic 1920s Spanish Colonial building, steps from the Third Street Promenade." Full review
"Service is attentive, rooms are generally oversize, and there are a number of the units that sport kitchens and kitchenettes aimed at attracting well-paid long-stay guests." Full review
"Just a stroll from the Pacific and mere blocks from posh Montana Avenue and the lively Third Street Promenade."
"In an opulent 1927 Moorish revival building, the new Palihouse Santa Monica has an even cozier feel than its Melrose counterpart."
"Palihouse Santa Monica caters to design-minded world travelers craving spacious rooms and suites decked out in whimsical antiques." Full review
"For a beachside pied-à-terre, Palihouse Santa Monica is surprisingly moody and dramatic, with nary a white linen slipcover or seashell detail in sight." Full review
"A new Santa Monica stay with vintage touches near shops, restaurants and the beach." Full review
"The historical 36-room landmark features classic examples of Moorish-influenced Mediterranean architecture." Full review
"The 37 rooms feel more like a home than a hotel, with fully equipped kitchens inside the suites, high wood beam ceilings, Egyptian cotton linens, 40-inch flatscreens, and more." Full review
