The Beverly Hilton opened this poolside lounge as an homage to the original Trader Vic's, which stood adjacent to the hotel for more than 40 years (it closed in 2007). There are tiki remnants from the original, but it's lacking the Polynesian soul of a bygone era; tables outside are somewhat of a consolation -- there's nothing quite like drinking a Mai Tai with warm breezes and swaying palms around you. Vic's still has a huge menu of specialty drinks, like the mind-melting Scorpion bowl and Navy Grog, and features great appetizers like the Beef Cho Cho, do-it-yourself skewers of teriyaki beef roasted over a flaming hibachi. A new Trader Vic's opened downtown at the L.A. LIVE complex in 2009 (800 W Olympic Blvd.; tel. 213/785-3330).

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.
