1. Harbor Court Hotel

2. Hotel Burnham
The marble walls and ceiling and the ornamental metal elevator grills of the Hotel Burnham will be impressive to the architect in your life, should you choose to take him along on your stay here. He'll appreciate this adaptive reuse of a historic…More »

7. Pacific Palisades Hotel - CLOSED

The Prescott is part of the Kimpton boutique hotel chain which began in San Francisco and now has properties in a dozen U.S. cities. The hotel is dangerously close to the endless shopping opportunities in Union Square. Rooms are tiny as one might…More »
