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.

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.

Gayot "China plates and an oversized cameo adorn the walls of the lobby, filled with white-leather lounges and wooden floors."
