"Tucked away amid quiet gardens just west of Beverly Hills' main drag, this hotel has the impeccable and invisible service you'd expect from a Peninsula outpost."

"This French Rivera–style palace is a favorite of Hollywood bold-face names, but all kinds of visitors consistently describe their stay as near perfect—though expensive."

"Docked for more than 40 years, the on-ship hotel attracts a mix of tourists and those attending events in the floating hotel's many party spaces."

Avoid the cheapest cabins on the inside – claustrophobic!

"If you're too young to have traveled on the old luxury liners, this is the perfect opportunity to experience the romance of an Atlantic crossing -- with no seasickness or cabin fever."

"Permanently docked at Long Beach Harbor, this luxury liner boasts three decks of wood-paneled staterooms."

"For visitors who fear California's tectonic tantrums (earthquakes) there is no better hotel than The Queen Mary. With that said, this floating flagship is in many ways more of an attraction."
