"It's no longer the center of the universe, but it's still a super-sexy spot that attracts, well, the super-sexy."
Fodor's
"A city club attitude pervades at the spendy Mondrian." Full review
Lonely Planet
Top Choice
"Like Ron Burgundy, this elegant tower is staying classy." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"The rooms seem an afterthought at New York hotelier Ian Schrager’s celebrity outpost. The Cuban-Asian eatery, pool deck, and hip Sky Bar provide stylish hobnobbing territory."
Travel + Leisure

Fodor's
"An air of tranquillity pervades the four-story Ambrose, which blends right into its mostly residential Santa Monica neighborhood." Full review

Star Service
"Located on the east side of Santa Monica at Arizona Avenue, in a quiet neighborhood just south of Wilshire Boulevard, this notable LEED Silver-certified property puts a stylish sheen on green design." Full review
Gayot
"The Ambrose fuses twentieth-century Craftsman design with an Asian influence, steering away from the too cool and edgy feel of a lot of hip urban properties."
Zagat

Lonely Planet
