"This grown-up Hollywood hotel in the heart of the action offers more sophistication than nearby red-rope properties that cater to the twenty-something “it” crowd. Located in what’s being dubbed The Vinyl District, this 11-story hotel includes 190 chic guest rooms, a gym by celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson, and a beautiful rooftop pool that’s flanked by an ultra-chic French Riviera-inspired lounge called Bar Lis. Be sure to book a spacious corner suite, which boasts floor-to-ceiling windows for an abundance of natural light, and a large L-shaped velvet sofa, giving rooms a luxury apartment ambiance. —Krista Simmons"
