1) Boutique hotel

A little expensive, but looking to splurge on a honeymoom.

Thanks

Wow - thanks for the quick reply.

Dates are August 15-17, 2008

Thanks!

The alternative would be 4.5 star hotel in Beverly Hills Westwood (with fitness, pool, restaurant, business center, hsia and spa) for $213. I think it's Sofitel. Does this sound like a good deal, or can I do better with the same $ in LA?

Congratulations on your upcoming nuptuals and good luck with the last minute wedding details.

The Santa Monica hotel has not yet been identifed, but if i were to take a guess i'd think the Hotel Viceroy would be a good guess and among the possibilities. If correctly, this is only $30 less than the hotel's website so not sure if worth the risk of an opaque HOTWIRE purchase.

The Beverly Hills property is a match for the Sofitel so that would be our best guess for that one.

Do you think the Sofitel for $213 would be worth it for that date (Aug 15-17)? And if not, do you have any other suggestions for a 4 or 4.5 star place in/near L.A.?

[thereuare]

I'm not familiar with this property, but you can read the reviews HERE which seem pretty good.

If you're familiar with the area, you may also want to try Quickbook which has a lot of hotels in this area within the price points above too.

Let us know whatever you decide or if we can be of further help.

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

The property above is a match for the Hotel Angeleno so that would be our best guess.

I'm not sure I would use Priceline or Hotwire for a honeymoon stay, especially if you're willling to spend $300+. Why take a chance on getting a connecting room or a room with a bad view? For a special occasion like this and with your budget I'd lean towards booking something conventionally. A lot of the hotels will have special honeymoon packages with champagne and other extra touches you won't get on PRICELINE or HOTWIRE.

I'm not currently seeing this property offered for your dates above... are you still seeing this on a current HOTWIRE search?

[JC13]

Yes, I am still seeing this hotel on Hotwire search. It disappeared for a while yesterday but now it's back. Dates and details rechecked and they are correct.

[thereuare]

This is a match for the The London West Hollywood so that would be our best guess.
