The SceneWhen it comes to local favorites, it's hard to beat Third Street, with its fabulous shops devoted to travel books, cookbooks, high-concept decor and candles, not to mention its collection of popular lunch hangouts. While this alone is enough to lure visitors, this hotel refuses to rely solely on its location: It offers serious bang for the buck in a boutique setting.The DetailsAn unassuming facade welcomes travelers into an intimate marble lobby. Tiny elevators ferry guests to modestly sized, stylish rooms, which take their scaled-back design cues from the world's best contemporary hotels. The guests themselves suit the laid-back yet exclusive nature of the hotel and include loyal tourists, up-and-coming rock bands and photographers. The hotel has managed to fit in almost every big hotel amenity--pool, fitness room, sundeck--and it's just a few blocks from Cedars-Sinai and the Beverly Center shopping mall.
