"The Woodward is by turns wild and lavish, demure and delicate. The eclecticism that confronts you when you step in off the street—a deliberately dissonant jolt of crystal, marble, murals, gilded Victorian lacquer, midcentury modernism, and Macassar ebony—soon settles down, but that initial impression of fizz and drama lingers. Each of the 26 suites is decked out in glorious, richly textured style. The Guerlain Spa is a knockout . In addition to the spa itself, there is a 70-foot pool , two saunas, two steam rooms, a hot tub, a gym, and a cigar lounge. —Steve King"
