"How did it strike you on arrival?A technicolor mural depicting Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn makes it impossible to walk by this hotel without looking twice. Inside, the bold design—black-and-white patterned floors, curvaceous furniture—pays homage to film's golden age. Once you've been escorted up from the mini waiting area downstairs, you can enjoy a welcome drink at check-in in the Hollywood Lounge on the third floor. Nice. What’s the crowd like?The Madera's loud, funky aesthetic attracts younger travelers, design enthusiasts and film buffs. The 38 suites—two of which have been designed after a specific Hollywood star—might also appeal to mega fans of Marilyn Monroe or Charlie Chaplin. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.We booked the entry-level Deluxe suite and immediately fell in love with the glamorous décor and bright pops of yellow. Spacious at more than 580 square feet, our suite overlooked the busy streets of SoHo and PMQ (a heritage complex turned indie shopping hub). It was equipped with all you might need: an LED TV, a high-tech control panel to adjust the lighting and temperature, complimentary minibar, a Nespresso machine, small kitchenette, and a dining table. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. They got us?The cheerful bedroom decor stars a pretty velvet headboard and pops of color in the form of throw pillows. The queen-size Simmons mattress is dressed in soft linens and a down duvet. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that find its way into your suitcase?The walls and shelves of each room are covered with fascinating memorabilia—old photos, pop art and portraits as well as travel- and film-inspired books. Consider it visual inspiration to set your mind to holiday mode. We were also pleasantly surprised to find an oven and a washer/dryer in our room, which would be excellent for long-stays. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.The winsome blue-and-white bathroom features a rain shower, small vanity area with makeup mirror, and white marble floors. Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?Wi-Fi is free and each room includes a Handy smartphone. These phones work on the local network at no cost to you, and can make phone calls to seven countries worldwide. Room service: Worth it?Madera Hollywood doesn’t provide room service, but you can find some all-day snacks and refreshments at the Hollywood Lounge. Fortunately, you’re in the heart of SoHo, so there’s no shortage of restaurants and bars within a few minutes’ walk. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.If you’re celebrating a special occasion, upgrade to the Monroe Suite—the hotel's pink-hued tribute to the star. The 700-square-foot apartment-style suite holds Monroe memorabilia, retro decor, and fresh flowers in every corner. The hotel doesn’t have a spa or a pool, though you will find a 24-hour gym that’s kitted out with Technogym equipment and various cardio machines. What was most memorable—or heartbreaking—about your stay?The location on Hollywood Road could not be better for fashion and food obsessives. You’ll walk out into the middle of Hong Kong’s most happening district, brimming with art galleries, tiny boutiques, restaurants, markets, and bars. Bottom line: worth it, and why?A boutique hotel with bold design, Madera Hollywood provides film-star vibes in a convenient SoHo location."
