Oyster3.0
"This 77-room, midrange boutique hotel is one of the most environmentally focused hotels in Southern California." Full review
Rough Guide "Excellent choice for inland Santa Monica with Craftsman-styled decor and boutique rooms that have internet access and include continental breakfast."
Fodor's "An air of tranquillity pervades the four-story Ambrose, which blends right into its mostly residential Santa Monica neighborhood." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The property features four floors, 77 guest rooms and is a short drive to the beach and Third Street Promenade shopping corridor." Full review
Time Out "This boutique avoids the stereotypical super-sunny decor prevalent in so many Santa Monica hotels, preferring a cultured mixture of sturdy Craftsman tradition and Asian chic." Full review
Star Service "Located on the east side of Santa Monica at Arizona Avenue, in a quiet neighborhood just south of Wilshire Boulevard, this notable LEED Silver-certified property puts a stylish sheen on green design." Full review
Gayot "The Ambrose fuses twentieth-century Craftsman design with an Asian influence, steering away from the too cool and edgy feel of a lot of hip urban properties."

""Luxurious" yet "eco-friendly", this Santa Monica boutique "in a quiet neighborhood" may not be on the beach, but admirers "love" its Asian accents and "oh-so-comfy" ambiance."
Lonely Planet "This sustainable boutique hotel beautifully blends Craftsman and Asian aesthetics and goes the extra mile when it comes to being green." Full review

"On 12 acres of lush grounds, this historic hotel is a serene, luxurious escape five minutes from Rodeo Drive." Full review
DK Eyewitness "It’s no longer the trendiest of LA’s luxury hotels, but its exalted place in Hollywood history remains."
Rough Guide "The classic Hollywood resort, with a bold colour scheme and Mission-style design, and surrounded by its own exotic gardens."
Time Out "The famous pink stucco façade, the manicured grounds and the sumptuous rooms of the Beverly Hills Hotel look as fresh and fanciful as they did on opening day 100 years ago." Full review
Star Service "Wedged between Benedict Canyon and Crescent Drive, one-half mile north of Wilshire Boulevard, this is the most fabled hotel in Beverly Hills, attracting both celebrities and the tourists..." Full review
Gayot "Despite its great age, the "Pink Palace" is more alluring than ever, with its coral-pink façade, signature banana-leaf wallpaper and twelve lush acres of tropical gardens."
BlackBook "Phenomenal bungalows where aging A-list actresses recover from facial overhauls. Great pool scene."
