Booking your stay at a fancy chain buys you quality assurance—your suite will be predictably well-appointed. But you're also playing it safe. If you take a risk with a smaller boutique hotel, you'll most likely be well-rewarded with artful, distinct decor, rather than the "appealing to the masses" vibe of chain hotels.
At The Redbury @ Hollywood and Vine, described as having a "bohemian counter-culture feel," the style is both elegant and eclectic, upscale and lived-in. What I love is that it doesn't look like a hotel—you know, the standard white sheets, all-neutral look of most places. That pristine aesthetic is beautiful, yes, but it's not functional for most people (especially if you're stealing a style for your home). The Redbury gives you the feeling of being in an exotic Moroccan escape—but one that's yours. Hello, House Hunters International.
