Frommer's "A whimsical tapestry of living art... The whole place is visually compelling." Full review
Concierge "Love it or hate it, there's no denying that the details are impressive."

Book a room on a high floor to avoid lackluster views of low-rise apartment complexes.
Lonely Planet "A somewhat gaudy, somewhat sleek, centrally located habitat." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Friendly and efficient staff, a business center with high-speed Internet access, and meeting rooms with assets such as teleconferencing and video equipment are just some of the great perks."
Travel + Leisure "Combine Philippe Starck’s exuberant interiors with the genius for tapas of chef José Andrés and the retail vision of design curator Murray Moss, and you have a hotel unlike any other." Full review
Time Out "The ultra-modern (and ultra-pricey), SLS Beverly Hills is a design dream where visual (over) stimulation abounds and your eyes are blinded by so many white leather sofas." Full review
Star Service "In the heart of Restaurant Row, a short stroll to Beverly Center mall, this daring artistic venture exhibits the amped-up designs of style impresario Philippe Starck." Full review
i
Select second-floor guest rooms boast terraces; upgrades are available by request.
BlackBook "Mega luxury in the form of pools, fitness suites, all-access concierge, and 24-hour browsing of Moss merchandise set up throughout the restaurant, lobby, and lounges."

"This "classy" yet "cheeky" Philippe Starck–designed Beverly Grove "boutique" feels "like another world" (or at least "Las Vegas") thanks to "gorgeous" rooms."
Afar Magazine "Beautiful and dramatic, the SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills is a fantasy of design, set right in the heart of Los Angeles’ most decadent neighborhoods." Full review

Concierge "An affordable bastion of cool aimed at the business traveler, the Standard is nothing if not amusing."
Fodor's "Built in 1955 as Standard Oil's company's headquarters, the building was completely revamped under the sharp eye of owner André Balazs, giving it a sleeky, cutting-edge feel." Full review
Insight Guides "One of the hippest places is the poolside bar on the roof."
Jetsetter "Downtown LA’s original party palace with a retro-style diner, killer pool scene and high-design rooms." Full review
i
Be sure to locate the complimentary ear plugs before bed as the rooftop party goes on until the wee hours.

"The poolside view is still hard to beat, the design is still striking, and the prices can dip way low." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Downtown’s first trendy hotel made an immediate splash when it debuted in 2002."
Star Service "The style, facilities and attitude-laden staff do their part to make this celebrity merry-go-round of a hotel stand on its own." Full review
i
Whatever you do, avoid the rooms near bars and dining outlets!
Gayot "A new era of revitalization for downtown L.A. took off running with the opening of the downtown Standard hotel."
BlackBook "Former oil company HQ. Rooms come in 10 sizes with hot stereos, giant TVs and some with transparent showers, so bring a conservative Christian friend and start snapping pics."
Zagat3.8
"For the "full-on LA experience", stay at this Downtown "hipster" boutique where you'll see "lots of movie stars – or attractive people who just look like stars"."
