Frommer's Review

A showbiz darling when it opened in 1985, the Diva is so sleek and ultramodern it won "Best Hotel Design" from Interiors magazine not long after it opened and is still as svelte as ever. A profusion of curvaceous glass, marble, and steel marks the lobby, and the minimalist rooms are spotless and neat, with cobalt blue carpets and Euro-chic furnishings of monochromatic colors, silver accents, and rolled steel. Each room is equipped with 36-inch flatscreen TVs, iPod alarm clocks, and blond-wood desks. The downside is that the rooms have views that make you want to keep the chic curtains closed. Services abound, ranging from fitness and business centers to four themed Diva Lounges for business (including 24-hour free use of a computer) and pleasure. Families should inquire about their two-room Little Divas Suite designed for kids that can accommodate a family of four. A nice touch for music-lovers, iPods are available at the front desk for $10 to $15 per day, complete with special Diva music mixes.

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.
