W Los Angeles

Design-savvy hipsters looking for cutting-edge style and familiar comforts will enjoy this 15-story, all-suite hotel near UCLA. Hidden behind a severe concrete exterior, this oasis-like property has always had advantages: an all-suite configuration, 2 lush acres of greenery, and eye-catching '60s architectural detailing that's been liberated from its long-standing Sheetrock walls. Rooms range from large two-room suites to two-bed, two-bathroom suites, featuring bold, angular furnishings. The W brand is constantly upgrading its amenities to stay current with new trends and developing technologies. Luxuries include divinely dressed beds, 42-inch plasma screen TVs -- and DVD players. The NineThirty restaurant serves New American cuisine, while nightlife impresario Rande Gerber's bar, Whiskey Blue, still packs locals trendsters in on weekend nights. The well-furnished, gardenlike pool area has its own outdoor cafe called the Backyard, serving Mediterranean "swimwear fare." The 7,000-square-foot Bliss Spa offers hip services like movie-while-you-manicure nail stations and men's and women's lounges that offer snacks to the road-weary.
