$$$, West Hollywood
Fodor's Review:
Hyatt West Hollywood. This hotel's busy Sunset Strip location guarantees lots of activity. Once infamously known as the "riot house" for its rock star guests, the hotel is now staid and even a bit tired, definitely in need of its planned renovation. (A revamp is slated for 2007.) Rooms that face the Sunset Strip have balconies; those facing the hills do not. Some rooms have aquariums, too. The view from the rooftop pool is extraordinary and favored for location shoots.(Watch out for the curved driveway and tricky parking lot.)
