The Bar/Lounge at JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE

"Couches and lounge chairs host guests as they pull up to the gLance Bar to watch sports and drink beers"

"Built in early 2010, this 878-room hotel offers a beautiful pool, great views from the rooftop bar, tons of meeting space, and plenty of restaurants"

"Several bars — gLAnce lobby bar and The Mixing Room — offer a range of libations and settings"

"In an "exceptional" location "in the heart of Downtown", this "fun" yet "upscale" "delight" boasts "excellent" workout facilities, a spa, the "wonderful" Wolfgang Puck eatery WP24 and a "must"-see rooftop pool and bar; add the "large", "gorgeous" rooms, many boasting "spectacular" views of the city, and "outstanding" service, and loyalists maintain it's the place to stay after "star-studded events at LA Live, Nokia or the Staples Center"

"The Mixing Room cocktail lounge across the way offers a fun venue to kick off a night of reverie with craft cocktails and small plates"

"A panoply of restaurants and bars, both inside and around the hotel, and a rooftop pool are just a few of the bonus amenities"

"Among the shared restaurants and lounges located within the JW are the casual LA Market restaurant and the Mixing Room, serving intriguing specialty cocktails and new spins on classic favorites (cucumber gin martini, anyone?) along with small plates"

"Club rooms are top picks, with access to a private lounge with all the perks, but the lounge is closed on Saturdays"

"Rooms are fresh, plush and contemporary, with abstract art prints, modernist lounge chairs and crisp, white comforters on blissful beds"
