"Designed and constructed in the Art Deco style of the late 1930s, this Santa Monica landmark sits proudly on Ocean Avenue on a cliff just above the beach."

DK Eyewitness
"The chic W is full of surprises, such as the “waterfall” entrance steps and the table games in the lobby."
BlackBook
"This W perfect for chic, but practical guests who actually get to bed before 1:30am. W rooms, sleek, not so spacious."

"A UCLA dorm in its former life, this "sleek" yet "quirky" all-suiter "nestled in a quiet Westwood neighborhood" makes you "feel like a star" with "beds that beckon you to sleep all day"."
Gayot
"The elegant furnishings of the 258 spacious rooms and suites include W beds with pillow-top mattresses, 350-thread-count linens and fluffy goose-down comforters and pillows."
