Press Quotes
"The Sunset Strip steak house resembles neither a steak house nor a hotel restaurant. It looks like, well, the lounge of the moment. Designed by local architecture firm Tag Front, it’s stylish and small, with a wall made entirely of twigs; luscious caramel-hued, leather banquettes; and stacked, multi-colored Lucite light fixtures. It’s too cool-looking to be anything but a hipster hangout. Don’t let that fool you: the food is terrific.
Unless you’re a vegetarian, order the 40-day dry-aged Aurora Angus New York strip. Choose from among nine sauces—"housemade" Worcester-shire, "J.1." (the house version of A.1.), smoky Cabernet reduction, bearnaise—but don’t sweat the decision; they’re all just fine." Travel+Leisure 06
"I felt as though I had walked into a party when I stepped into the Grafton. Dance hits from the 70’s and 80’s soared through the mustard-colored lobby and into the courtyard below, scented with citrus, where guests relaxed on striped chaises around the pool. A couple sipped cocktails on the deck, absorbing a dazzling view of the polluted city below.

The Grafton is a textbook boutique hotel, oozing amusing details more clever than costly. A galvanized metal flower can served as my room’s wastebasket; a full-length mirror doubled as the door to the ample walk-in closet. My favorite spot in the hotel, a cozy open-air sitting area off the observation deck dubbed the make-out room (the hotel calls it the chat room) , evoked a sultan’s lair with a pillow-covered divan and a beaded doorway curtain.
Given its cost, my room’s spaciousness was a pleasant surprise. It comfortably held two duvet-covered double beds, a well-stocked entertainment cabinet, a glass-topped desk and a pert polka-dot slipper chair with a velvet footstool. Audrey Hepburn, dressed as Holly Golightly, gazed from a wall. In the small bathroom, a striped curtain, cinched at the waist, framed the bathtub. Counter space was stingy, but towels were plentiful." New York Times 02
