Frommer's "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
Concierge "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."
Fodor's "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
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Rooms live up to the hype generated by your red-carpet arrival." Full review
Time Out "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
Star Service "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
Gayot "Located at the legendary crossroads of Hollywood and Vine, this W Hotels' outpost brings the Walk of Fame right to your doorstep."
BlackBook "Extravagant W near HWood tourist hubbub. Business types come for massive party atmo. Rooms typical W, stylish, small."
Zagat4.5
""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."

"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

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."
Zagat4.3

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
