Expect lots of space and an explosion of color from the plush rooms here: they've got candy-stripe walls, peach oversize furniture, and creamy white duvets. All guest rooms have writing desks, private balconies, and sleep-inducing Tempur-Pedic mattresses. The lobby has a wood-burning fireplace and adjoining terrace. Lot 1224, the hotel's indoor-outdoor restaurant, is a popular lunchtime meeting place for studio types; expect a lively cocktail hour. Rooms facing busy Olympic Boulevard can be noisy; ask for one facing north if quiet is a priority.
