Fodor's "Inside the futuristic lobby are fountains, an indoor lake, an indoor track, and 12 glass elevators." Full review
Oyster Mid-Range
"Like downtown neighbor Wilshire Grand, this towering hotel offers many perks for the price: pool, shops, large fitness center -- only with better views." Full review
DK Eyewitness "With about 20 eateries, pool, fitness club, shops, and a full business center, the landmark Bonaventure has more facilities than most small towns."
Rough Guide "Modernist luxury hotel with five glass towers that resemble cocktail shakers, a six-storey atrium with a “lake”, and elegant cone-shaped rooms."
Time Out "In the bizarre absence of a hotel near the Los Angeles Convention Center, this five-tower, 35-story, 1,400-room monster does decent business." Full review
Star Service "This Westin comprises five silolike towers, each keyed to a specific color, all in a 35-story clover-leaf pattern." Full review
Gayot "The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites Review: You've seen the exterior and lobby of this hotel in many movies and TV shows in the past couple of decades."
BlackBook "If you've been Downtown you've seen these rounded black glass towers. More stores and restaurants than the Magic Kingdom."
Zagat4.0
"Seemingly a "city unto itself", this "classy" "legend" "in the heart of Downtown" offers "so many things to do", from an indoor jogging track and full-service spa to 19 restaurants and bars."
Travel + Leisure "Encompassing an entire city block in the business district, it's almost a city within a city." Full review

Concierge "An affordable bastion of cool aimed at the business traveler, the Standard is nothing if not amusing."
Fodor's "Built in 1955 as Standard Oil's company's headquarters, the building was completely revamped under the sharp eye of owner André Balazs, giving it a sleeky, cutting-edge feel." Full review
Insight Guides "One of the hippest places is the poolside bar on the roof."
Jetsetter "Downtown LA’s original party palace with a retro-style diner, killer pool scene and high-design rooms." Full review

Be sure to locate the complimentary ear plugs before bed as the rooftop party goes on until the wee hours.
Oyster Mid-Range
"The poolside view is still hard to beat, the design is still striking, and the prices can dip way low." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Downtown’s first trendy hotel made an immediate splash when it debuted in 2002."
Star Service "The style, facilities and attitude-laden staff do their part to make this celebrity merry-go-round of a hotel stand on its own." Full review
i
Whatever you do, avoid the rooms near bars and dining outlets!
Gayot "A new era of revitalization for downtown L.A. took off running with the opening of the downtown Standard hotel."
BlackBook "Former oil company HQ. Rooms come in 10 sizes with hot stereos, giant TVs and some with transparent showers, so bring a conservative Christian friend and start snapping pics."
Zagat3.8
"For the "full-on LA experience", stay at this Downtown "hipster" boutique where you'll see "lots of movie stars – or attractive people who just look like stars"."
