Steeped in Hollywood history, this iconic rose-hued hotel—originally opened in 1912 and dubbed the Pink Palace—overflows with elegance in each of its 208 guest rooms and suites, as well as its 21 historic bungalows, which are currently undergoing an extensive restoration. The Polo Lounge is a must—order the McCarthy Salad or Kobe Burger—and follow with drinks by Bar Nineteen12's outdoor fireplace. For rejuvenation, try the property’s La Prairie spa, or post up on one of the green-and-white striped lounge chairs by the legendary pool. (Rooms, from $525)
