Just stayed for one night - wish it could have been more! It was our anniversary and they upgraded us to the Sunset Suite which is simply phenominal.

If you are looking for a hotel that captures the Hollywood glamour of the 1920's, this is the hotel for you! The common areas feature the original details of the Mediterranean-style building, all of which have been nicely restored. The views from the lounge and terrace cafe are absolutely stunning. I truly felt like I was on vacation in the... more

The rooms have been upgraded and show well for a... more

Less than a block from park and ocean walkway. Very nice shopping district. Lots of fabulous restaurants. Had a very nice pool area and even though it... more
