If you don’t make it to one of the in-house restaurants, dine on room service courtesy of Roy Choi, but be sure to make it to the hotel bars done by the Houston Brothers, as well as the homewares design shop by Poketo.

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
