Sure it's chic and trendy and oozing with style....check in and valet was fine, they were nice. We got the ocean view room - which was nice. The bed was very comfy with lots of pillows...but... The hotel is a party place and very noise. Doors would slam shut until wee hours of the morning. The outside pool area is... more

From the moment we got to the hotel it exceeded all expectations. The hotel itself is beautiful and the room was spacious and stylish. The pool area is luxurious as is the reception. We came back to our room on the first day to find a bottle of champagne (not the cheap stuff) and some chocolate dipped strawberries - they... more

We were really pleased to have selected The Viceroy. We had two nights here straight after flying into LA from London and it was a great place to arrive to. The staff were very friendly on arrival - when the Doorman knows your name before you've stepped out of your car you know they have done their homework. The rooms... more

Another hotel were staff think they are the next Tom Hanks and forget they actually work at a hotel. Not a well designed hotel and specifically not thought through - seems there is a lack of experience of what a hotel should provide anyway. It doesn't feel like a hotel, it feels like a bad copy of a real design... more

loved the viceroy, looks like a travel lodge from outside but inside its amazing, great small pool area and bar, food and drink are expensive, but i would totally recommend staying, we loved this place, service was amazing. more

Everything about this hotel is great, the staff are really helpful and friendly; our room was lovely, really comfortable bed. The bar area was buzzing and the food here is amazing; also the pool area with... more

I stayed here for work for two nights. I checked in a little early, and my room wasn't ready, so they upgraded me to a better (ocean view) room. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The room was clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable. The view of the ocean was fantastic ~ I stayed on the top (8th)... more

I got a very good first impression of the hotel. Nice staff in the door and check-in. The room and bathroom was really well designed, and the bed super comfortable. The poolside area was nice, however I would say it was more for hanging out than actual sunbathing as most sunbeds were in the shade at least parts of the... more

We have just been round the world for our honeymoon and the Viceroy was our first stop. I stay in lots of hotels with work so have high standards and expectations. We were not disapointed here and found nothing to complain about at all - makes a change for me. After arriving from the UK on a long flight we... more
