Fodor's Expert Review Loews Hôtel Vogue

A celebrity haunt that spent $10 million in 2014 making the facade, lobby, and guest rooms super sexy. The glamor factor has drawn the likes of George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Michael Douglas.

You’d never guess it from the design, but this hotel is super kid friendly. Parents can request car seats, cribs, child-proofing kits, strollers, Fisher-Price toys, games, DVDs, and even night-lights. Upon arrival, children under 10 get an activity book, too. Adults do not get an activity book, and have to come up with activities on their own.

room

The rooms have vintage Vogue posters on the walls. The word "Vogue" is in its name, so this isn't too shocking. Other fun accents include rounded mid-century couches, deco lights, and iPod docking stations.

YOU SHOULD KNOW Regular Wi-Fi at 1 MB/second for three devices is free, but you have to pay $14.95 per day to get 5 MB/second WiFi for a maximum of eight devices. You have been warned.

bathroom

The Loews Vogue knows how to do a powder room. The huge bathrooms have whirlpool baths, flat-screen TVs, and phones. Now that's what we call a bathroom.

lobby

The lobby is one of the most flirt-friendly in town, with its four-sided leather banquette in the middle. The space is classy and it is plush. Also, there are private little tub chairs with suspended trays to accommodate laptops.

dining

Off to the right of the main floor lobby, La Société Bistro is a traditional French brasserie with an immense hardwood bar and a spectacular stained-glass dome ceiling. Order the hanger steak with skinny rosemary fries, or enjoy the oyster bar on Tuesday and Friday nights. There’s a five-course tasting menu for $62 that locals love.
