Fodor's "Glamorous socializing takes place in the pool and cabana area amid all-white armchairs and divans." Full review
Insight Guides "An urban retreat on the beach with a sauna and whirlpool."
Oyster4.0
"It's best known for its sexy bar and pool scenes, but the Viceroy boasts substance as well." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The couple behind the stylish Maison 140 and Avalon has created a fantasy environment that transports guests back in time to Colonial England."
Concierge "This 162-room hotel was so hot when it opened in 2002 that it immediately became the Viceroy Group's flagship hotel."

Try to get one of the rooms on the upper floors, with views of the ocean a couple of blocks away.
Frommer's "Still on L.A.'s coveted "in" list, is this überchic Santa Monica boutique hotel." Full review

Splurge for an oceanview room; the only other view is of the hotel parking lot.
Travel + Leisure "Though the exterior—a white boxy slab—doesn’t invite a second glance, the interiors here marry retro-chic with pure whimsy." Full review
Time Out "A decade on from its 2002 opening, the Viceroy remains the hippest hotel on the west side. More crucially, though, it's also its most stylish and impressive operation." Full review
Star Service "Young, well-heeled business and leisure travelers and those who deplore a fuss do best here. " Full review
Gayot "China plates and an oversized cameo adorn the walls of the lobby, filled with white-leather lounges and wooden floors."

"This 569-room Beverly Hills hotel, the site of the Golden Globes, excels at affordable luxury." Full review
Rough Guide "This prominent, geometric white hotel at the corner of Wilshire and Santa Monica boulevards has a pool and gym, plus in-room plasma TVs, boutique decor and balconies."
Time Out "Thanks to a remodel in 2007-2008 the rather tired decor has been replaced by a look that's both comfortable and handsome, classic but not wedged in the past." Full review
Star Service "One-half mile west of Rodeo Drive, this vast, nearly 9-acre hotel remains the largest, most commercial hotel in 90210 and one that leans heavily on conventions, tour groups and splashy media events." Full review
Gayot "All of the lovely rooms come with high-speed Internet access, and most boast lavish bathrooms and terraces with city views."
BlackBook "Cabana buffs chill by the pool awaiting more cooling mist and hairless boys. Health buffs get treadmills delivered to their rooms--those in the Wiltshire Tower are chicest."
