LAX's coolest looking hotel is so swank that guests have been known to ask to buy the black-and-white photos hanging behind the front desk. Extras for in-transit visitors include 24-hour room service, a 24-hour fitness center, a business center, and a 24-hour airport shuttle. Rooms are compact but soundproof and have helpful details such as coffeemakers, hooks for hanging garment bags, and oversize work desks. Faux animal-skin headboards and ebonized furniture make the guest rooms feel more sophisticated than corporate. Pros: weekend rates significantly lower, free LAX shuttle, Shula's 347 steak house. Cons: convenient to airport but not much else.
