Accommodations: Touting individual style, each room and suite has cable television, a refrigerated private bar, a DVD player, a CD player, a complimentary local newspaper, and an in-room safe. Ask for an iron and an ironing board. Some accommodations have a furnished balcony. Your view is of Hollywood Hills, Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, Century City, El Camino, the pool, the porte cochere, or some combination. TIP: Accommodations facing south are the quietest, and guest quarters in the original Wilshire building are larger. The Verandah Suite has a garden terrace, the Governor Suite has a kitchen, and the Presidential Suite resembles a Park Avenue penthouse with Roman columns, high ceilings, and antiques. Rest easily in a king-size, double, or sofa bed. Some suites have a romantic canopy bed. TIP: Ask to have your accommodations child-proofed, and tell the hotel in advance of your plans to travel with children so special amenities can be arranged.

Dining & Entertainment: The Blvd is a sophisticated all-day dining spot, with international cuisine, a distinctive lounge area, an outdoor sidewalk patio, and live jazz several evenings a week. The Pool Bar & Cafe offers a modern take on the traditional pool bar menu with paninis, salads, delectable desserts, and pitchers of sangria. Cool-down amenities, such as shot glasses filled with smoothies, are featured daily. Wolfgang Puck's celebrated cuisine is matched by Richard Meier's timeless interior design at Cut, an updated version of the classic steakhouse. Work your way through the appetizers menu at the sophisticated Sidebar, with a wide selection of wines and classic cocktails. Check out the in-room dining service's homestyle cooking menu, and let your children ages 9-12 order from its "I'm not a kid anymore" menu.

Recreation: Attendants are on hand to mist you by the Mediterranean-style swimming pool. For added privacy, rent a cabana. The whirlpool is an oasis of luxury.
