Frommer's "With the exception of the Euro beats pumped into the lobby, the Sofitel does everything right." Full review
Concierge "The 295 rooms are flooded with light, and the decor... is a grown-up take on California style. The service is just as polished."
Lonely Planet "The Sofitel is the latest comeback kid among LA's luxe lodges, thanks to a $40 million cash infusion that created a place of sleek sophistication and unfussy ambience." Full review
Time Out "A shopper's paradise but a driver's nightmare—that's the best way to describe the location of this hotel, close to the Beverly Center in the heart of one of the most congested areas in LA." Full review
Star Service "This hotel is still the sole French pedigree in the city, and an excellent ambassador for 21st-century Parisian style. " Full review
Gayot "This 295-room urban retreat underwent a $40 million renovation, resulting in a sophisticated and welcoming nod to the European roots of the Accor group to which it belongs."
BlackBook "Stunning lobby, plush rooms, super luxe bathrooms stocked with prized Lanvin toiletries. Service beyond impeccable."

Jetsetter "French elegance meets Hollywood hip with modern bistro fare, celeb-fave bar and sprawling spa." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The 295 rooms are flooded with light, and the decor—buttery yellow walls, blond wood accents, ivory lacquered chests—is a grown-up take on California style." Full review

Concierge "Shutters feels like a rambling seaside villa that's been plucked from Martha's Vineyard and dropped onto the boardwalk below Santa Monica Pier."
Fodor's "The beachfront location and show-house decor make this one of SoCal's most popular luxury hotels." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This delightful hotel right by the sands of Santa Monica takes the beach cottage to new heights."
Rough Guide "This white-shuttered luxury resort south of the pier is the seafront home to the stars."
Travel + Leisure "This sprawling beach-house-style inn looks like it was airlifted from Nantucket and dropped on the Santa Monica shore." Full review
Time Out "Formerly a cool retreat for hot Hollywood stars and now a sister to Casa del Mar, Shutters has a relaxed but decidedly upscale style." Full review
Michelin Guide "A beachside-cottage feel undergirds this property set on the sands of Santa Monica Bay. Relax by the pool or have a massage at the spa."
Star Service "The beachfront setting and pleasurable poolside scene are notable, but the laudable meeting facilities and spring-heeled staff are ready for business at the drop of a sun visor." Full review

Avoid the rooms in the internally connected annex facing east as these could just as well be a separate entity called, "Shutters on the Parking Lot."
Gayot "At this on-the-beach retreat, travelers appreciate the respite from L.A.'s high octane atmosphere."
BlackBook "Plush pied-a-terre and oversized hot tubs for moneyed beach lovers. High-end cottage suites offer feast of Pacific views."
