Overall, the hotel has 268 rooms and suites spread over 14 floors, and a coffin-shaped pool (don't worry, it's more inviting than it sounds) surrounded by foliage, loungers, and dining options. During my visit, I noticed only one man braving the pool — it was freezing out, after all! — but come summer the poolside vibe is busy and energetic.
The hotel is also home to two restaurants and three bars. The Veranda restaurant and bar offers Mexico City-inspired fare from Chef Adrian Garcia. Although this restaurant has a sunny vibe by the pool, I found it a delight as a place to sit and work on a cold day. Heat lamps and a fireplace made the alfresco space toasty and cozy.
Located off the lobby, Breva restaurant and bar has high ceilings and chandeliers, plus tufted leather banquettes, and marble-topped tables. Stop here for comfort fare and modern American cuisine, also from chef Garcia.
Bar Figueroa, with its curved bar and plush lounge seating, enlivens the lobby, and serves cocktails and food all day.
There's also a mandatory daily $25 resort fee, but it includes continental breakfast, which adds value, especially for families and larger groups.
