The Pool at Avalon Hotel Beverly Hills

"Note: If you're a light sleeper, request a room away from the pool area, where the occasional nighttime pool party can get loud"

"The young and fabulous can still be found here around the hourglass-shaped pool—these days, dining and sipping cocktails at the Blue on Blue restaurant"

"This cool Beverly Hills hot spot has intimately lit cabanas that fringe the curvaceous pool"

"The poolside bar is where the young elite go to pose"

"Snag a lounge table next to the shimmering 1950s–era pool, where you can nosh on Italian small plates"

"On-site dining, Viviane, offers a fresh California twist on continental fare in a casual pool patio atmosphere"

"Slamming pool scene goes off after work for Beverly Hills happy hours working on getting happier"

""Step back into '50s Hollywood" at this "fun" Beverly Hills boutique where admirers adore the poolside cabanas, "first-rate" restaurant and "top-notch" bar, and the "sexy" staff "strikes the perfect balance of being there for you and leaving you alone"; the "modern, inviting" rooms are on the "expensive" side, and a few warn the "party" atmosphere can get "noisy", but many proclaim the place a "breath of fresh air in a town full of hot gas"

"The restaurant wraps around the front of the hotel and also has pool-side seating, perfect on breezy LA days"

"Perks include a sexy hourglass-shaped pool"
