Review of Skybar

Since its opening in hotelier Ian Schrager's refurbished Sunset Strip hotel, the Mondrian, Skybar has been a favorite among L.A.'s most fashionable of the fashionable set. This place was at one time so hot that even the agents to the stars needed agents to get in -- rumor has it that one agent was so desperate to gain entrance that he promised one of the servers a contract -- but this is a fickle town, and the young and hot have moved on to greener pastures. Nevertheless, the view is still spectacular and you may still get to rub elbows with some of the faces that regularly appear on the cover of People (but please don't stare). Tip: If you really want to get in, make a dinner reservation at neighboring Asia de Cuba. Unless there's a private event, that usually works (but is at the discretion of the doorman, so dress nicely and tip your waiter well). Be advised that drinks are overpriced, under-poured, and the bartenders are limited in their repertoires.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
