SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills

beautiful

by LAshopaholic

I have to admit I haven't stayed over night at the hotel (I'm a local), but I look forward to doing so for a special occasion. I recently had dinner a The Bazaar (see my review- Amazing! If you stay here definitely make dinner reservations!) and had the opportunity to check out the hotel lobby- it's absolutely gorgeous. I was talking to a guest of the hotel and they said the rooms are some of the nicest they've every seen. I guess Phillipe Stark is the designer? All I know is: this place is sexy!

Caution!!! - Petty theft is thriving here!!

by Russian Scorpion

"The Bazaar" restaurant on the first floor of SLS Hotel --

I actually used to enjoy coming here mostly for great food. Until the

night my purse was stolen from my table, by someone who was sitting

next to us with his group of friends. The security camera was right

above us. However, management refused to show me the tape, call the

police asap and try to track this person down via the credit card that

his table paid with. They were uncooperative and plainly uninterested

in resolving this issue and in helping me getting my property back --

my phone with all my contacts, different ID's, some cash and the keys

to my place. you can imagine of time and money I now have to spend to

try and renew all those things, however most of the business contacts

and information are forever lost. In 30-40 minutes after my property

was stolen I was forced to raise my voice several times to try to get

their attention, BEGGING them to call the police so the report can be

made and show me the tape from the camera. Well, guess what? They did

call cops, but on ME!! What????!!! Are you kidding me?! I'm the victim

here, not the criminal!!! In all this time they could have already

gotten this guys info from his or his friends payment info -- it was a

table of 4 or 5 guys not just one guy, call the police, make the

report and maybe help young girl who now has to break her door down or

at least call a locksmith for me, I mean something, right? But, I keep

forgetting that in the REAL world things are not so simple. So at the

end I did get that yellow paper that's called a "police report" in

which the following was written -- Suspect has taken the property and

fled into unknown direction... I guess folks, that's all I will ever

hear.. oh and I was told I was not allowed on premises anymore. I was

what?? Outraged?! You damn right I was! Wouldn't you be? and I guess I

should frame this yellow "glory paper" so it can remind me of the

"Protect and to serve" bitter sweet sentence.

Anyway, guys enjoy the food and hold on to your bags and your "rights"

, but you have to be aware of the fact that the second thing that

you're holding on to so tightly is only an illusion...

Bon Appetit!

Very Attentive Staff

by MrsAdventure

I must say that this hotel far exceeded my expectations. Their staff was very attentive and their prices were very reasonable for what you get. Clean, polished rooms with an amazing bar downstairs. I loved it.

luxurious and modern

I wish my expereince at the SLs could've been better. I went on Valentines day and a man kept knocking on our door when my boyfriend and i were taking a nap. The man then opened the door to give us chocolates......is it really necessary to intrude into our room to give us two pieces of chocolate? The next morning at 10 am housekeeping repeatedly knocked on the door while we were sleeping. I had to yell to make her go away. We even had our do not disturb light on. Also, the Tv didn't work......At check out the concierge waved the parking fee of $25 dollars.. Thanks.

• Pros: awesome rooftop pool area, amazing decor. super artsy
• Cons: small rooms, no bathtub

I like it a lot

by Paul Larson

I like this place. I really do . A lot. Especially the tapas menu - some really innovative offerings. Sure, some of the choices are out there but I lenjoy them. Especially the jicama and guacamole sacks. And the sweet potato chips. And the jamon platter. On the weekends, expect lots of Jags and Mercedes in the parking lot and lots of pretty people inside. But it's still a great place.

• Pros: Good drinks, daring menu, great service
• Cons: Hard to get a table
