The London West Hollywood

Think of big-time luxury these days and you’ll probably find you’re thinking of New York and London — so it’s only fitting that some of the best of what Los Angeles has to offer has roots in both. The London West Hollywood follows on the heels of the London NYC, bringing its trademark grown-up lu...

The Mosaic Hotel Beverly Hills

Los Angeles seems, at first glance, uninterested in subtlety. Here what gets noticed is the biggest, the boldest, the most ostentatious—and getting noticed is and end to itself. A stereotype? Possibly. But nevertheless, it’s a stereotype that is refuted by a place like the Mosaic Hote...

The Parker Palm Springs

This hotel has racked up an impressive number of names in its seventy-year history. Once Gene Autry’s Melody Ranch estate, it was, for a time, the Merv Griffin Resort, then the Givenchy Hotel and Spa—and now, after a substantial rethink by lifestyle designer Jonathan Adler, it’s back; this time a...

The Pearl

It’s an apt name for a hotel like this. The Pearl, in contrast with the rather more ostentatious boutique hotels of San Diego’s Gaslamp district, stands on Rosecrans, on the other side of the airport — the better to avoid the stretch Escalades and valet stands, one supposes. But in these inauspic...

The Peninsula Beverly Hills

The Peninsula Beverly Hills is almost impossibly opulent, even by Hollywood standards, a dressed-up Renaissance mansion in a deeply casual town. This hotel is a favorite of industry bigwigs, offering Hong Kong–style amenities that almost seem custom-designed for high-powered and impatient executi...

The Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay

Just half an hour down the scenic Highway 1 from San Francisco, Half Moon Bay feels a world away; tucked between the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, this sleepy town still enjoys some of the most spectacular vistas on the West Coast, as well as a distinctly undeveloped and down-home c...

The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco

This majestic neoclassical building was the headquarters of an insurance company before being converted to a luxury hotel in 1991, and today it’s difficult to imagine it having ever been anything but a Ritz-Carlton, so perfectly is it suited to the task — midway between the old money of Nob...

The Standard Hollywood

About the Standard Hotel Hollywood:The first of the cheap chic Standard Hotels from Andre Balazs, the Standard Hotel Hollywood is an affordable boutique hotel located on Sunset Blvd. between Crescent Heights & La Cienega Blvd. in Los Angeles. Tablet Hotels review<b...

The Standard Hotel Downtown LA

It wasn't so long ago that downtown Los Angeles after six P.M. was a ghost town. This is the case no longer, and it's thanks in no small part to the Downtown Standard — in particular, the rooftop bar, with its astroturf, topiary gardens and waterbed loungers, a fixture on the downtown nightlife s...

Thompson Beverly Hills

The Thompson group continues its westward expansion with this Beverly Hills outpost, built from the bones of a Sixties-era chain motel on Wilshire Boulevard. Not that you’d notice — if the Thompson is retro, it’s retro of the Seventies chocolate-leather variety, rather than another revival of the...

Tower 23

Poor overlooked San Diego — not even California’s second city, it’s long been overshadowed by Los Angeles, San Francisco, maybe even Orange County. Of late, however, overlooking San Diego means overlooking some ever more stylish hotels — Tower 23, for example, would turn heads even in the fashion...

Ventana Inn And Spa

Big Sur is the jewel of the California coast, one of the most spectacular places in North America, and Ventana Inn is Big Sur’s original luxury resort, founded by writer Lawrence A. Spector, using profits from the film Easy Rider. Clearly it doesn’t get much more California than that. ...

Viceroy Palm Springs

It seems everything old becomes new again someday; who’d have thought geriatric Palm Springs could relive its glamorous glory days? Yet that’s just what’s happening, as a new generation of Angelenos skips out on Beverly Hills and heads inland to this desert oasis hideaway. And in Palm Springs, it...

Viceroy Santa Monica

The green glow through translucent glass is the only clue that there’s anything out of the ordinary going on behind the discreet (and unsigned) facade of this seaside hotel. Inside, though, it’s something else entirely — the Viceroy is one of Santa Monica’s hottest spots, and the interiors are as...

Waters Edge Hotel

This may be San Francisco Bay — Tiburon is located on the north side of the Golden Gate, just around Richardson Bay from Sausalito — but there’s something decidedly New England about Waters Edge. The view takes in what is quite unmistakably San Francisco’s skyline, as well as the nature preserve ...
