Posh high-rise overlooks 20th Century Fox

This 17-story hotel rises from the back lot of 20th Century Fox studios, o­nly 1.5 miles from Beverly Hills, 4 miles from West Hollywood, and 8 miles from Santa Monica beach.

Spacious guestrooms, renovated in 2002, offer furnished balconies with city views, fax machines, multi-line phones, high-speed Internet connections, and marble baths with stall showers.
