"Like Chateau Marmont, this hotel pool bar/restaurant is about one thing - the scene. Come here any day of the week and you’ll find great service, famous people screaming into their cell phones, not famous people doing photoshoots in the pool, and the purposely unemployed getting as drunk as possible at 3pm. Inside you’ll find a mediocre restaurant component, but skip that, and go right to the pool area instead. This is where all the action is, and even though the $19 price point on the drink is a tough pill to swallow, the cocktails themselves are pretty good (read: strong)." - brant cox
