"The LA-based hotel chainlette Palisociety now has nine hotels under its belt, but this 54 room Silverlake one feels the most significant, as the white-hot hipster neighborhood had yet to have its own boutique hotel. The desert retro decor throws some major Palm Springs meets Baja energy, which is perfect for this Eastside area. One way the hotel quickly ingratiated itself to its neighbors: offer free pool access to locals. Eastsiders just need to spend $30 at the bar—a task that's all too easy to do on a summer afternoon lounging at the pool. The largest boutique hotel in Silverlake and its surrounds, you'd be hard pressed to find a hotel that embodies the area quite as well, and at such a reasonable price." - Krista Simmons, Celeste Moure
