I am a loyal Starwood customer and will always do my best to stay at their properties. The W Westwood is my favorite hotel on the planet, but due to the popularity, the rates have become too extravegant, so for many of my LA trips, I have stayed at the Hotel Delfino. Great location, good bar down at the Viceroy and you can't beat smelling the fresh ocean air.
This trip, I had a conference in Hollywood so needed something closer. I chose the SLS. I made the right choice. There was a nice hip, cool feel like the W. The attentive staff is ALL about the little things, like learning your name when you pick up your car, having staff open the doors for you, handing your bottles of Evian before you start your day, being friendly and interested in chattting, having the entire place smell GREAT and having rooms that are cool, convenient and fully function. I
n the room, the beds were very heavenly-esque, the plasma TV was ensconsed in a huge mirror and when off, you didn't even know it was there. The "office" was beyond the bed, perfectly aligned with the television. Nice. Stay hot Starwood, i'll be back!
