Hilton Checkers Los Angeles

The atmosphere here is as removed from "Hollywood" as an L.A. hotel can get. Built in 1927, the 12-story hotel is a Historic Cultural Monument. Plenty of polished brass complements the neutral sand-colored decor; both accentuate the impressive architectural features that have remained intact during major renovations. Checkers is a European-style hotel, without a lot of flashy amenities and possessing an understated luxury. Rooms are equipped with 42-inch flatscreen TVs, ergonomic workstations, and spacious marble-floored bathrooms. Public areas include a wood-paneled library, a rooftop lap pool, and serene corridors punctuated with Asian antiques. The spa offers everything from aromatherapy body wraps to couples' massage sessions. Checkers Restaurant is fine for meals if business keeps you on-property, but otherwise I suggest exploring downtown's impressive array of dining options instead. Tip: Be sure to check the website for specials.
