The Restaurant at Sunset Tower Hotel

"The terrace restaurant, overlooking the small but pretty pool, has wicker furniture, limestone floors, and lots of light—and Capote would definitely have approved of the bustling spa with its white marble hammam and plush, private treatment rooms"

"The indoor-outdoor Terrace restaurant is poolside and has an equally impressive vistas"

"The on-site dining venue, The Tower Bar & Restaurant (for Italian-French cuisine and low-key celebrity spotting), used to be Bugsy Siegel's apartment"

"A "slice of Old Hollywood right on the Sunset Strip" that's "still cool after all these years", this "art deco" converted apartment building boasts rooms and suites with floor-to-ceiling windows and plenty of "history", including former residents Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Frank Sinatra; eat at the on-site restaurant, decompress in the spa, or lounge around the third-floor pool – the "perfect place to get a tan and an adult beverage" and take in the view"

""Breakfast in Los Angeles doesn't get any better than an order of huevos rancheros or avocado toast, eaten by the pool at the Sunset Tower's Terrace restaurant"

"The limestone lobby floor leads to a fireside lounge bar, the restaurant or the 81 guestrooms and suites, where everyone from Marilyn Monroe to Frank Sinatra to Elizabeth Taylor has been a long-term resident"

"Both the poolside terrace and main restaurant, Tower Bar, are consistently packed with film industry heavyweights, while downstairs, beauty-loving guests will find a fully equipped spa plus excellent hair stylists and colorists all on hand"

"Recently renovated, the 81-unit tower offers soothing rooms, nightly piano and bass in the flirty bar (in Bugsy Siegel’s former apartment), a clubby restaurant, city-view pool deck and a top-notch spa with Turkish hammam (steam bath)"

"The Tower Bar, one of the hotel's two restaurants, remains a popular haunt for Hollywood's power brokers and stars"

"Cool cocktails, a true sense of style and a laid-back attitude: the restaurant, and the hotel housing it, really capture the feel of the city"
