115 S. Fairfax Ave., LA; 323.937.3930
Neighborhood: Hollywood
The Feel: With a friendly staff and mod design, this boutique budget hotel specializes in southern hospitality by way of Philippe Stark. A former Best Western, this is now one of the most affordable (and centrally located) spots in town. Make sure to cross the street and grab breakfast at the renowned farmer's market.
Toiletries: BeeKind, an all-natural line by British apothecary Gilchrist & Soames.
Room Rate: From $160
550 S. Flower St., LA; 213.892.8080
Neighborhood: Downtown Los Angeles
The Feel: Slick bachelor pad styling and trippy colors put the Standard's signature stamp on an otherwise conservative 1950s building in downtown which was once the headquarters for Superior Oil. From the comfy platform beds to the well-appointed bathrooms, you definitely get a bang for your buck.
Toiletries: Signature Standard line (produced by Kiss My Face Organics)
Room Rate: From $225
9400 W. Olympic Blvd., Beverly Hills; 310.277.5221
Neighborhood: Beverly Hills
The Feel: Mad Men on holiday. "Mid-century patio living," is how the hotel describes it. And when that's envisioned by fun-loving design star Kelly Wearstler, that means Eames chairs poolside (cocktails resting on Noguchi tables) and rooms made up with Porthault linens.
Toiletries: Molton Brown
Room Rate: From $289
1415 Ocean Ave., Santa Monica; 310.395.9945
Neighborhood: Santa Monica's 3rd St. Promenade
The Feel: Built in 1933, this Art Deco palace just steps from the Santa Monica pier, was the spot for celebrities in Hollywood's golden age. And during prohibition, its underground speakeasy was the place to get the best drinks in town. Now, it's a great upscale escape for those looking for first-class service and ocean views.
Toiletries: Molton Brown
Room Rate: From $265
