The great thing about this quaint, thirty-something room hotel is that it has the coolest outdoor patio. I had breakfast under a canopy and then the same evening the place seemed to turn into a gathering spot for the stylish and happening LA crowd. Yummy martinis and mini-curry burgers made my day. My bed was the most comfortable I have slept on in a hotel in a long time, and I am on the road a lot for work. The iPod minis were loaded with such amazing soundtracks that I was compelled to buy one upon checkout so I could take the music back home to my wife and kids.....The room was modestly sized, but very comfortable and sufficient for a sub-$200 a night room. A bit noisy, but the trade off is 100% worth the amenities, service and location. Will stay again!

Staff was very nice and helpful, however we arrived late in the evening when a DJ was playing and could barely hear to check in. Luckily I had seen the reviews prior to arriving and requested a room upstairs in the back. Much quieter there but could still hear the people talking next door. I was very disappointed in the size of the room and especially the bathroom. We barely had room for all of our luggage and couldn't even turn around in the bathroom.
The location is great. Walking distance to Rodeo drive and close to Hollywood.

Just back from one night at the Crescent. The hotel is definetly small. We stayed in a very small room booked on one of those discount internet booking agents - you'll have to guess which one. The price seemed great till we realized we got the smallest room in the house.

The place is hip. No question about that. Digital music player in every room along with a DVD player and mini bar. The bed is LOW to the floor. I'd say ON the floor but that's probabily not true. The bathroom was immaculate and the bedding crisp and clean. The only real catch was the room was pretty small. Be certain to ask about room size if you go.

The first floor has a nice bar, sitting area and some protected outdoor seating. They serve food but we never had a chance to partake. Funny story, they were filming a commercial in the lobby the morning I was there. You might say that was an inconvenience but it was a fun way to see something of holleywood that most visitors don't get to see. I want to point out that the hotel staff was VERY sensitive to any inconvenience the filming may have caused us and went out of their way to be certain we were not inconvenienced in any way.

We arrived in Los Angeles to visit our daughter who goes to UCLA. We wanted to stay near her, but not in the little college town of Westwood. We were also hoping to stay somewhere intimate that was within reach of restaurants and shopping etc. We found the Crescent Hotel Beverly Hills through the website and we were absolutely delighted with our stay. The restaurant Lounge is beautiful and chic, you can sit outside on the patio and literally be in the middle of Los Angeles. They have this amazing drink menu with all of these signature martinis, we had to cut ourselves off because the were so amazing. They also have a very good daytime chef and then a different evening chef. The menu is fun and fresh and they have very unique dishes we couldnt resist trying. It is really nice to have the lounge bar at the hotel because it is difficult to navigate around Los Angeles with a rental car. The rooms were beautiful and not ridiculously expensive. It is literally the only hotel that is located in the center of everything. It was perfect because we didnt have to deal with the sunset traffic and a short taxi could get us anywhere we wanted or needed to go. Our daughter enjoyed us staying there are she brought her friends to hang out in the lounge and have drinks with us because apparently the BOE restaurant is a hip little beverly hills local night spot. They even had special features. One night they had an artist there painting and a D.J.....it was so much fun! Because the hotel is pretty small with around 40 rooms we got personal service and attention that is hard to find in a larger luxury hotel. They even have personal ipods in the rooms with a special playlist and they offer in-room massages. Overall, our experience at the Crescent was magnificent and it will definitely be a future destination whenever we come to the Los Angeles.
