Having stayed previously at the Viceroy in Palm Springs, we knew what to expect and were not disappointed. It may be considered expensive, but if you can't afford it you don't go!! it is lively and vibrant with an excellent restaurant and a bar that "buzzes". Wonderfully friendly and helpful staff who cannot do enough for you, especially James Vierra, the Concierge, who went out of his way to ensure our stay was pleasurable and that we didn't miss anything of interest. The location is superb, just a short walk to the beach/ocean front, Santa Monica pier, the shopping mall and 3rd Street Promenade. The decor is amazing both in the public areas and also in the bedroom. Although there is no free WiFi, free internet access is available in the delightful yellow library room. The outside facilites, two pools and various cabanas looked really inviting but with rain and cold weather in LA, sadly we didn't get chance to enjoy them this time - BUT - we will be back!!
Room Tip: An ocean view room is really nice and worth the extra to upgrade.

Roamingroto-
Thank you for the very inclusive review. I shared your comments with the team and especially about James our Concierge. We did in fact single him out for special praise in our monthly meeting yesterday. We are very proud to have him on our team!
Warm Regards,
Troy Pade
Hotel Manager
