just too expensive

by rubywla

and not that nice. too much fancy staff going around and not enough attention to the basics (clean towels, warm water, noise level). for this price, it was definitly not worth it, and the response of the staff was very condescending.

• Pros: good location
• Cons: lack of attention to deatils

Fantastic Concierge Service, but make reservations early!

by fairylights

I was very impressed with the service this hotel offers. Besides the beautiful scenery, gorgeous rooms, and fabulous food, the concierge service is phenomenal. Sometimes in fine hotels, the staff can be quite snobby, but I found the service here to be warm and friendly. At one point I got lost in downtown LA and called the hotel concierge to ask directions back to the hotel. Not only did he get them for me, but he also stayed on the phone with me until I reached the hotel, which took nearly 30 minutes. By the time I arrived we were chatting like old friends and I could not have been more grateful. Upon my next visit to the hotel, the concierge immediately recognized me and I was given an immediate room upgrade, for no reason at all. There is nothing the hotel can't help you with, from airline tickets to flower arangements to even helping to host a gathering. They are phenomenal and well worth the money. They also offer fabulous room packages, to meet every possible desire. If you visit just one fine hotel in your life, make it this one. You won't be sorry.

• Pros: Fantastic service, beautiful decor and awesome food
• Cons: Must pay for Internet Service, too many tourists, expensive valet parking

Great Rooms, Service

by Elischa

Not sure where I should start, there are so many great things about this Hotel. First the The Blvd restaurant is unbelievable, the Chef is outstanding and everything on his menu is above and beyond the sensuality of great food. The service at this restaurant is top notch. The rooms are spacious, and warm and inviting. The bathrooms are the size of some small studios here in LA. The pool is romantic, and has a great Pool restaurant, that has great munchies. Everyone was very accomodating, and I wish my stay could have been for a week.

• Pros: Notable Chef, Service, Rooms
• Cons: They charge for internet connection

A place to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery of L.A.

by mrswesleyjonathan

I love seeing the beautiful scenery of L.A. and living in L.A. As for a nice and luxurious apartment in L.A. this is a place to relax and to get away for a while even if you decided to live in L.A. forever and never leave. That is how sweet it is. I would definitely recommend it.

• Pros: hotel is luxurious and relaxing
• Cons: n/a

Impeccably elegant hotel situated in L.A.'s most upscale shopping district.

by Contributor

The Scene
Located where Rodeo Drive meets Wilshire Boulevard, this landmark hotel has been tending to well-heeled guests for more than 70 years. Despite hosting royalty and society, the Regent's most notable guest is still the "Pretty Woman"--all hotel scenes in the movie were shot here. Tiffany, Bulgari and the rest of Rodeo Drive's ridiculously priced boutiques are just across the street, drawing busloads of tourists from around the world.

The Details
Regal-looking flags fly from rooftops and a red carpet leads up to the grand entrance. Once inside, ubiquitous staff members scurry across polished marble floors moving luggage and opening doors. From the European antique furnishings to the lush second-floor pool area, everything here screams opulence. There's even a Silver Spur Rolls Royce on hand, in case you need to be dropped off somewhere.

Simply the Best

by MJEayres

This is definately one of the best hotels I have satyed in. The service was excellent. The rooms large and extremely well furnished. Both bathrooms were very large and comfortable. The afternoon tea in the lounge was delicious and well worth trying. There is not one aspect of this hotel that I could critise, we were even given the house limo for some shopping trips!!

• Pros: Location, Great Rooms, Excellent staff
