SoCal
we did a pretty last minute and random trip to LA, and we stayed at the SLS at Beverly Hills for 3 nights in May (5/24-27). we knew about this hotel because of the jose andre restaurant the Bazaar that is located inside the property.
room: room lighting is a bit dark, but sufficient lighting in the bathroom for a girl to put on make up. lovely bed, although not as comfy as Westin's, still pretty good. room is pretty big, and furniture looked nice. tv is inside the wall mirror, and the desk is behind the bed, setting is quite little unique. i know it may sound weird, but the hotel smells really nice.
dining: love the food, we dined at the restaurant (yum!) and ordered room service (yum yum). definitely a must eat.
pool: we spent most of our time by the pool on the roof top. cool socal vibe. beautiful people, drinks, food, good weather, music, no one was actually in the water tho (water was pretty cold).
things are quite expensive at the hotel (especially with the valet), but it's beverly hills! enjoy the beautiful hotel!
