A shopper's paradise but a driver's nightmare - that's the best way to describe the location of this hotel, close to the Beverly Center in the heart of one of the most congested areas in LA. The good news, though, is that there are countless shops, restaurants and bars just a short walk from here. And once you've made it through the traffic, you'll find a very impressive hotel operation: smart, reliable and also, thanks to the presence of the Simon LA restaurant (run by star chef Kerry Simon) and the Stone Rose Lounge, surprisingly fashionable.
