The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles

Rooms sit high up (floors 22-26), so street noise is not an issue. The beds are genuinely comfortable, with feather tops and 400-thread-count linens, and the bathrooms impress with a soaking tub, rain shower, marble vanities, and a TV in the mirror. Standard rooms are on the smaller side but feel well-appointed; some guests flagged uneven room sizes and occasional plumbing issues.
