Frommer's Review

A legend in her own time, H. H. Leonards Spero operates this Victorian property, made up of five interconnecting four- and five-story town houses. It's a museum, an event space, a private club, and a hotel.

Guest rooms will blow you away. Most breathtaking is the two-level Log Cabin loft suite, with Remington sculptures, a bed whose headboard encases an aquarium, and an eco-friendly bathroom with sauna. The Art Deco-style penthouse takes up an entire floor, with large living room, two bathrooms, a bedroom, and a kitchen; it has its own security cameras and elevator. The mansion also has conference spaces; 32 far-out bathrooms; 18 fireplaces; and art, antiques, and books everywhere (everything is for sale). Be sure to look for the electric guitars displayed throughout the mansion; each is signed by a famous musician guest, from Sean Ono Lennon to Eric Clapton. It's possible to rent the entire mansion or a portion of it. Full business services are available. Don't miss the mansion's Sunday brunch featuring jazz or gospel music, or regularly scheduled evening performances by big names on the local music scene.

Facilities:
Free passes to Sports Club/LA health club at the nearby Ritz-Carlton; concierge; state-of-the-art business center; laundry service

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.
