How it rates * *

New and noteworthy: Hip hoteliers bring their New York style to a former Best Western.

The stay: Come for the groovy design, the scene, the restaurant, the lounge, but don't plan on sleeping.

The scene: A cross-section of the pretty people who eat sushi, roll in for photo shoots and drink till dawn.

Deal maker: Location, location, location. Steps to Rodeo Drive.

Deal breaker: Location, location, location. Inches from Wilshire Boulevard's nonstop traffic.

Stats: 9360 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills; (800) 441-5050, www.thompsonhotels.com

Rooms: Published rates for standard rooms begin at $495.

Rating is based on the room, service, ambience and overall experience with price taken into account in relation to quality.

* * * * * Outstanding on every level

* * * * Excellent

* * * Very good

No Star: Poor

Where am I?

Should we take offense, order a drink, or what? That depends, of course, on where you think these words turned up.
