The Pool at W Hollywood

"full-service spa; or a roomtop pool deck that in its time has doubled as the hottest afternoon club in Los Angeles, and is still trying very hard to be cool"

"Upstairs, the 25-yard rooftop lap pool comes with private cabanas and amazing views of the Hollywood Hills"

"Often held in the Loft next to the pool, the club-like cardio classes are free for guests and $20 for locals to sweat and dance for a full-fledged workout"

"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 in the Living Room lounge"

"Standard W facilities include Bliss Hollywood spa, WET rooftop pool deck and FIT fitness center"

""Never-wanna-get-up beds" tempt guests to "sleep all day" in the "modern" rooms at this "swanky", "pricey" Hollywood hot spot, but few can resist the view from the rooftop pool, the Bliss Spa and the "hopping" lobby bar; fans call the staffers "über-gracious", but critics dismiss them as "uninterested" and "too beautiful to be real", and all the "fun" can get so "loud" you may want to bring "Ambien" though the "posher-than-posh" atmosphere still has most swooning "ooh-la-la!" Zagat reviews are compiled from individual user reviews"

"Many rooms have scenic views, and the rooftop pool has luxury cabanas to hang out in"

"Sun yourself by the rooftop pool, swill cocktails in any of the chic bars, then bed down in a minimalist mod hideaway after a night out at velvet-roped nightclubs"

"The W's soaring, sparkly atrium makes quite an impression, as does the sceney, palm-fringed rooftop pool deck"

"Anyone considering a good night's sleep should avoid accommodations facing the pool"
