"One of Santa Monica’s prettiest hotels, the Oceana has flirtatiously colorful decor reminiscent of the French Riviera. Many of the large suites have views of the ocean."

"Housed in the former United Artists building, the hotel pays homage to LA's essence—a seamless harmony of California minimalism and downtown LA's signature art deco style."

The Loft Suites are stunning, but avoid views over the noisy and unsightly construction site next door, at least until it is completed.
Gayot
"Design is modern, simple and tasteful --- and in the case of the downtown L.A. Ace, it's also laced with a touch of history."
Zagat
"The hyper-trendy Ace Hotel chain comes to DTLA, taking over the ornate 1927 United Artists Building, with its lobby built to emulate the grand movie palaces of the day."
Fodor's
"L.A.'s newest hipster haven wears multiple hats as a hotel, theater, neighborhood diner/coffee shop, and series of lounges, where you can bar-hop by elevator."
