$$, West Hollywood
Fodor's Review:
Hotelier André Balazs created this cheap-and-chic Sunset Strip hotel out of a former retirement home. The aesthetic is '70s kitsch: pop art, shag carpets and ultrasuede sectionals fill the lobby, while the rooms have inflatable sofas, beanbag chairs, surfboard tables, and Warhol poppy-print curtains. DJs spin nightly and lobby socializing begins at the front desk and extends to the blue AstroTurfed pool deck outside. Especially on weekends and holidays, expect a young party scene that can drift noisily into the halls. The 24-hour coffee shop is quite good, more modern classic than greasy spoon.
