(Sung in Falsetto)....AWWWWWWWsommme!
Due to a snafu, we were lucky enough to stay here. We were on the top floor overlooking the pool. Night time works it's magic on L.A. and the view of the city twinkling away is just divine. Especially if you are feasting on a fresh fruit platter with a glass of wine in your hand.
Having two shower/bath areas is simply genius, definitely shaving off time it would take to get ready for a big night on the town.
And let's just be clear, the town is right on your doorstep. The Kodak Theatre is just a few steps away. 
Sometimes "boutique" hotels trade on the name but let you down in the actuality. I didn't get the feeling that this place was slacking in any way. Rooms were clean, crisp and bathrooms very, very chic (although dark). I kept feeling that although modern, Cary or Marilyn might walk in at any moment demanding the starring role in the next screenplay on the coffee table. Phwar!
The staff was very friendly. Not a hint of the snobbies, noooo that is reserved for some of the guests, those with rolling accounts, and those 'wanna-be's" and "may-be's" and other assorted posers who were breaking their necks to see and be seen. You have to be in the mood for it... cause if you aren't strutting it or working hard to not strut it... you'll definitely overdose on the self propelled hype of the patrons. Take it in stride. It is funny watching everyone work hard at being Hollywood. Get there early, stake out a place at the bar and I guarantee you, the antics are more entertaining than reality tv. In fact, I've said it here first. If I find my idea makes it to the little screen. I want a cut. :)
Now, back to the rooms. Dark, minimalist, with white sheets/duvet. Furnishings are modern/retro/minimalist. Flat screen television that I never touched, cause I was at the LIbrary downstairs. Heh-heh.
Great mini-bar selections. Although it pisses me off to stay in an expensive place and find they want to gouge me for the water. Come on!.
Absolutely fantastic place to go when you want to see and be seen, find some footprints at Grauman's, and soak up some L.A. vibe.
