CONDÉ NAST TRAVELER: Hot List Nights 2010
Angelenos now have a great place to booze without worrying about parking. At the W Hollywood hotel's outdoor Station Hollywood lounge, they can arrive via subway-it stops at the hotel's door. In this outdoor oasis of potted shrubbery and pillows, hotel guests and bar patrons cluster on couches and around fire pits, drinking updated classics and fruit extravaganzas like the Avenue of the Stars: Maker's Mark, honey, lemon, and muddled raspberry. Snacks include Latin fare (shrimp and chorizo pintxos) and good ole American steak sandwiches. Wear something snazzy to blend in with the attractive pre-dinner crowd. Still raring post-feed? Take the elevator to the W's rooftop and brave the up-tempo hoochie mama gyration at dance club Drai's.

LA WEEKLY: W Hollywood Debuts Station Hollywood and The Living Room
Quietly and with little fanfare, the W Hollywood on Jan. 28 unofficially opened its French brasserie, Delphine, and its two bars, Station Hollywood and The Living Room. Pass through Delphine's white brick arch and you'll find yourself in the W's living room or rather, its Living Room, where the decor pays homage to old school Hollywood glamor while referencing mid-century Southern California cool.
