Fodor's "Inside the futuristic lobby are fountains, an indoor lake, an indoor track, and 12 glass elevators." Full review
Oyster Mid-Range
"Like downtown neighbor Wilshire Grand, this towering hotel offers many perks for the price: pool, shops, large fitness center -- only with better views." Full review
DK Eyewitness "With about 20 eateries, pool, fitness club, shops, and a full business center, the landmark Bonaventure has more facilities than most small towns."
Rough Guide "Modernist luxury hotel with five glass towers that resemble cocktail shakers, a six-storey atrium with a “lake”, and elegant cone-shaped rooms."
Time Out "In the bizarre absence of a hotel near the Los Angeles Convention Center, this five-tower, 35-story, 1,400-room monster does decent business." Full review
Star Service "This Westin comprises five silolike towers, each keyed to a specific color, all in a 35-story clover-leaf pattern." Full review
Gayot "The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites Review: You've seen the exterior and lobby of this hotel in many movies and TV shows in the past couple of decades."
BlackBook "If you've been Downtown you've seen these rounded black glass towers. More stores and restaurants than the Magic Kingdom."
Zagat4.0
"Seemingly a "city unto itself", this "classy" "legend" "in the heart of Downtown" offers "so many things to do", from an indoor jogging track and full-service spa to 19 restaurants and bars."
Travel + Leisure "Encompassing an entire city block in the business district, it's almost a city within a city." 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."
