Best hotel I've ever stayed in in America
Forget the gizmos, gadgets, plunge pools in suites the service this is just the best hotel in America. We had a couple of problems which were completely out of the hotels control (including a roof leak !) but the hotel bent over backwards to treat us like royalty. 
Frankly I could just go there for their bakery baskets for breakfast they are better than most French hotels. Do not bother ordering anything else off the menu, teh breads alone will fill you up.
The only two things I would change are the concierge who really did not have the in depth local knowledge and relationships I would expect at a hotel of this standard although I have found very few amazing concierges outside Europe. I ended up doing everything on-line and getting better seats for less etc. In the end we didn't go out too much because we had to put some effort into it and it was much more fun staying in. 
The pool area could just do with catching up with the hip feel of the rest of the hotel which is both contemporary and elegant at the same time. We were worried our kids might be a bit out of place but the hotel is very relaxed and we didn't feel awkward about them being there as can sometimes happen in hotels. We were a little worried about the location being a bit far out but found it was very accesible.
I would ALWAYS stay here if in LA, it was just so relaxing. This is a brilliant hotel. STAY HERE and don't go out !
