Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Situated on a quiet, tree-lined residential street, Le Parc is a sophisticated and stylish all-suite hotel that attracts an interesting mix of clientele: Designers stay here because it's a few minutes' walk to the Pacific Design Center; celebrities in the music industry stay because of its low-key neighborhood location; patients and medical consultants check in because it's close to Cedars-Sinai; and tourists enjoy being near the Farmers Market, the Beverly Center, and Museum Row. The newly renovated apartment-like units are extra large -- studios are 650 square feet, one-bedrooms 875 to 1,000 square feet -- and each has a well-outfitted kitchenette, a dining area, a living room with a fireplace, and a balcony. What the hotel lacks in views it makes up for in value and elbowroom, and the rooftop night-lit tennis court is a rare perk in this area. The hotel's intimate bistro-style restaurant, Knoll, is a hidden gem, offering very good contemporary American cuisine and romantic alfresco seating at the rooftop dining area. Facilities: Restaurant w/full bar; outdoor heated pool and Jacuzzi; rooftop night-lit tennis court; well-equipped exercise room w/sauna; access to nearby health club; concierge; courtesy car; business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; coin-op laundry; laundry service; dry cleaning In Rooms: A/C, TV/VCR (w/pay movies, video games, and on-screen Internet access), high-speed Internet, kitchenette, minibar, coffeemaker, microwave, hair dryer, iron, CD player
