"This hotel put Koreatown on the map for a number of visitors—and continues to keep it there. Minimalist rooms of all sizes get pops of color and culture in the form of chairs upholstered in Mexican blankets and custom-commissioned photography by Kevin Hanley and ACME Gallery. Stock up on a few Korean treats from the minibar and then sweat it off by taking advantage of complimentary tai chi classes and bicycles, or dancing the night away at the Break Room 86 nightclub, where you may well spot the friends you made in the communal lobby and workspace that day. —Brooke Porter Katz"
