Frommer's "The "It" hotel of 2011 is the W Hollywood, which opened in January 2010 at the corner of Hollywood and Vine and has been the darling of the dig-me crowd ever since." Full review
Concierge "The 305 studios and suites are done up in a modern palette of whites and grays, but it's the Hollywood location that sets this hotel apart."
Fodor's "Just off the historic intersection of Hollywood and Vine and above a busy Metro station, the W Hollywood is ultra-modern and outfitted for the wired traveler." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Rooms live up to the hype generated by your red-carpet arrival." Full review
Time Out "Nestled in the heart of Hollywood, the glitzy hotel pulls out the red carpet (literally) with its rooftop pool and lounge, grand spiral staircase, Bliss spa and famous Sunday night jazz." Full review
Star Service "In short, it is a modern free-for-all: one part hotel, one part nightclub, one part residential development and one part neon billboard." Full review
Gayot "Located at the legendary crossroads of Hollywood and Vine, this W Hotels' outpost brings the Walk of Fame right to your doorstep."
BlackBook "Extravagant W near HWood tourist hubbub. Business types come for massive party atmo. Rooms typical W, stylish, small."

Frommer's "One of L.A.'s three finest hotels... Has risen above the rest by making ultraservice its hallmark." Full review
Concierge "Tucked away amid quiet gardens just west of Beverly Hills' main drag, this hotel has the impeccable and invisible service you'd expect from a Peninsula outpost."
Fodor's "This French Rivera–style palace is a favorite of Hollywood bold-face names, but all kinds of visitors consistently describe their stay as near perfect—though expensive." Full review

"One of the best hotels -- if not the best hotel -- in the entire L.A. area, the Peninsula bills itself, accurately, as an "exclusive oasis"." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Antiques and artwork grace rooms, suites, and villas, all brimming with high-tech features, including wireless web access and satellite TV."
Rough Guide "Luxury celebrity digs featuring ultra-chic rooms, suites and villas thick with graceful furnishings, along with pool, sun deck, cabanas, rooftop gardens and whirlpool."
Time Out "Designed to look and feel like a private estate, the Peninsula exudes opulence." Full review

Gayot "This discreet hotel, which is related to the venerable Peninsula in Hong Kong, is elegant without being stuffy."
