The Restaurant at Palihotel Melrose

"The experience: Many Palihotel guests are designers, models, and other young business travelers looking for a reasonably priced crash pad not far from Hollywood or Beverly Hills (both a short drive away), which makes for a pleasant round-the-clock buzz in the lobby and the wildly popular Hart and the Hunter restaurant"

"With a Southern-inflected restaurant, the Hart & the Hunter, that serves from breakfast to dinner and a private room for Thai massage, you may never want to leave"

"An honest-to-goodness boutique hotel, the intimate, 32-room Palihotel is located quite conveniently amidst the Melrose retail and restaurant mayhem - meaning it might be the only hotel in LA which doesn't require interaction with the valet every time you walk out the front door"

"The Hart and the Hunter restaurant—decked out with vintage tiles and a portrait of T"

"’s best new restaurants when it opened last year, and it shows no sign of slowing; expect a wait any night at prime time for dinner"
