On a leafy residential side street, the Chamberlain is steps from Santa Monica Boulevard and close to the Sunset Strip, bringing in young business types, the fashion/design crowd, and 24-hour party people looking to roam WeHo and the Strip. Rooms are handsomely tailored in gray and teal, with snappy gray and white Regency-style furniture. All rooms have a fireplace and balcony. The work desks are oversize, but the bathrooms are compact (those in grand rooms have separate shower and tub). Tech extras include flat-screen TVs, cordless phones, iPod docks, and CD players. Beds have pillow-top mattresses. You can soak up the sunshine next to the rooftop pool with dramatic city and Hollywood Hills views. Pros: excellent guests-only dining room and bar, pleasing design, close to Strip without the hassle. Cons: compact baths.
