    Beautiful hotel Beautiful view Nice bar Attentive valet Bourgeois the way I like it

    Menu and Tea Selection
    Justine H.

    Brought my friend here for afternoon high tea to celebrate her birthday, and we had a great time! It was super easy to make a reservation online via Opentable. Upon arrival, we were seated at the beautiful blue couches by the windows in the corner of the lobby, which surprised me because we weren't inside the restaurant. But it was very comfortable and we had a lot of space to ourselves. For $68 per person, you get a choice between a sparkling lavender lemonade mocktail or a glass of champagne. We both opted for the lavender lemonade and they were so beautiful with a gradient purple - definitely a cute instagramable drink. For the hot tea, they have 4 teas to choose from, and you can get unlimited refills. We got the Oolong Caramel Brûlée and the Jardin Bleu to share - both were delicious. I did prefer the Oolong Caramel more. The food comes on the standard 3 tier plates, and was decorated with beautiful flowers and happy birthday chocolates. Definitely tasted better and was of higher quality than other tea spots I've been to, although I wasn't as full. My favorites were the pumpkin curry soup and the egg salad pastry! What would've made their afternoon tea stand out is if they replaced all the boring plain white chinaware with ones with cute designs. Afternoon tea is all about the vibes, so that would be my only complaint. They do charge an automatic 21% service charge, which is mentioned on Opentable. Our server deserved it though as she was very helpful and sweet, refilling our teas multiple times. She even took her time taking photos for us and checked up on us often. Parking is valet only and the restaurant validates for 3 hours. Hotel is very beautiful, with nice restrooms and a little outdoor section that you can chill at.

    This review is solely for the afternoon tea service. We made a reservation at 11:00am on a Friday, so it was quiet until there was a screaming baby in the same area since it is the same space as breakfast lunch and dinner. overall the food was pretty standard. Nothing stood out. We had to wait for quite a bit for the soup to come out; after half of our set was eaten. the scones were...not traditional kind; they were chocolate chips and uneven in size, provided butter and jam (no clotted cream). I was really looking forward to the ube cupcake with matcha icing. To be frank, I couldn't tell the difference if they were mini chocolate cupcakes with frosting from the bakery from local grocery store. for $68 + 21% service charge, I am not sure if i would pay a visit again.

    Attended "Raise the Roof" - SGV Habitat for Humanity Annual Gala at this beautiful hotel. The event was successful and raised a lot of money. Had an amazing time with great friends and enjoyed a wonderful meal. The service from the Parking attendance to the servers was excellent!

    We recently hosted Dawson Company's 77th Anniversary Party at Le Méridien, and I can't say enough great things about the experience! Our guests were absolutely blown away by the beautiful venue, flawless service, and especially the exceptional food--I received countless compliments throughout the night. We've held past company celebrations at impressive venues such as The Queen Mary, Pechanga Resort, and the Santa Anita Racetrack, but this event at Le Méridien was, by far, everyone's favorite. The combination of elegant ambiance, delicious cuisine, and seamless execution made the evening truly unforgettable. A huge thank you to the entire Le Méridien team for their professionalism, attention to detail, and warm hospitality. You made our milestone celebration spectacular from start to finish. I can't recommend this venue highly enough!

    Beautiful heated pool opens at 6 am!!

    My favorite part of my stay was the outdoor heated pool that opens up nice and early, 6 AM, which is super for my work schedule! Stays open late as well. Valet parking is required, which is not ideal for me as I like to come and go as I please, but the Valet staff were especially kind, welcoming, and super fast and efficient!! I got my car in fewer than 5 minutes each morning, even at 7 AM which should be a busy time for them. Beds and shower- both amazing!! The extra duvet was appreciated. Loved my spacious room and functional mini-fridge that actually kept my food cold!

    Le Meridien Hotel is located in Arcadia right across Huntington Dr. from Santa Anita Racetrack and Mall. It's a high end hotel with a restaurant/bar. The property is not big and the entire perimeter of is used for parking. Only paid Valet parking available. The lobby and the restaurant/ bar of the hotel is spacious but deserted. The rooms were ok but our bathroom only had a shower. Apart from the valet there was not a lot of interaction. Service was adequate. Low energy vibe. Neither the restaurant or bar the only amenities was not inviting with no one there. You can see the small pool from the window as you check in with the pool rule signs taking up the view.

    It is a beautiful hotel. I have Never stayed here before. The staff representative at the front desk was very nice. We were tired from our drive and it was a little early to check but she accommodated us. I love coming to a place where i haven't stayed and get treated very well. The rooms were pretty standard size but it was nice. It was clean, modern, and smelled good. We had the view of the park across the street which was ok. It was that or the courtyard. I was with two teenagers and they loved the pool. The hotel also has a very lovely restaurant, bar, and cafe. The restaurant is a bit pricey but it is LA. But the staff there are very nice as well. My family and I had a lovely experience here. The hotel maybe pricey for some people but I think it depends on the time and season. But, I'd come back here again. FYI: this spot is a short drive to Universal Studios and Disneyland.

You can go there for business and/or pleasure. I didn't have a reservation and walked in w/out one. Christopher at the front desk said that they had few rooms available and he can check me in right away. Had to run to the restroom in their lovely lobby very fast before taking care of business. Let's not forget that they welcome you with 2 warm, fresh Chocolate Chip cookies. I had to meet up with a client to discuss her wedding plans so that was the main reason that I was there this past weekend. February 28th, & March 1st. Checked out on the 2nd of March. Walked in to my room on the 7th floor #708 & later was moved to #718. I was planning to give this hotel 4 stars based on what happened in the 1st room, but since everything else went flawlessly from the restaurant, to the pool, jacuzzi, shower, etc... I will give them 5 solid stars for the employees going above & beyond for your comfort. They genuinely cared for your stay and the hospitality was just FANTASTIC in every way, on every level!!! Everybody was very helpful, nice, and caring. Both rooms that I stayed in were SUPER CLEAN, comfortable bed, sheets, towels, were crisp, and clean too. Pillows were also comfortable. Not too soft & not too firm. I had a minor or I should say a big hiccup the 1st room that I had stayed. Around 3:15am I hear this ugly, loud noise/sound coming from the bathroom. I couldn't figure out what the problem was and was keeping me awake. Plumbing problem with the toilet. Called the front desk and Simon who was working the graveyard shift refused to come up to check it out. Instead he sent the security guard by the name of William. That was not William's job. He somehow came to figure out what seemed to be the problem and long story short he helped me move my stuff to the next room down the hall. Both rooms had the following amenities:gym, meeting rooms, pool, with 4 cabanas, small store that had snacks, bottled drinks, cookies and other handy stuff. Restaurant, bar, small fridge, microwave, a safe, big closet with lots of drawers, blow dryer, shower, TV, phone, an iron, etc.. At the time of the checkout, I brought the problem that I had with the toilet and Laura, one of their managers went down on the price which was a very nice gesture coming from her. Also, I used my AAA discount towards my room. AAA always comes very handy! Ate at the restaurant twice during my stay and that's all I can say about this lovely, beautiful, comfortable hotel. Special thanks to Jaydon, the server that I had in the restaurant, gave me an exceptional service! William, the security guard, and the rest of the staff who helped me! Will definitely return next time I need some ME time or if it's work related. There are a lot of nice close by eateries all around. Has a HUGE parking lot, multiple restrooms in the lobby. Very clean, and that's all I can say for now. Thank you all!:-)

Laura is truly a hidden gem, and her service absolutely exceeds a 5-star rating.

I've stayed at many Hampton Inns through the years to confidently say that. I'm not from this area but just from driving around it looks like a fine area. Lots of stuff around (restaurants, eateries, fast food, the mall, etc). I guess only con is it looks like there is constant traffic as it seems to be a hub for lots of amenities for the area. With that said the property looks kept up well. The lobby is pleasant and warm. Front desk person at 11PM was still energetic and professional. I didn't check all the amenities as this was a 1 night quick rest stop, but I did see an outdoor pool that closes at 9PM (not sure if heated) and no separate hot tub. The halls to the rooms are bright and dont look eerie at all. The rooms are fairly up to date being very utilitarian and functional. Tiny--by today's standards TV. Conveniently placed outlets with USB ports. There are 2 desks to work on. There are the ever so important microwave and minifridge with coffee maker. Beds and linens were up to par--both being good and comfortable. The HVAC system was adequate with a noticeable hum but no rattles. AC blows nice and cold--period. The bathroom is small, functional, and seems more recently updated than the room itself. Toilet seat is still the cheap low height. Con so far is the following: The bathroom door is a barn door. It serves to close the built in closet when bathroom door is open, and close the bathroom door itself when it use. It has a nice mirror to check yourself out. HOWEVER, there is NO LOCK ON THE BATHROOM BARN DOOR. So when you go to use the bathroom, you slide the barndoor shut but there is nothing preventing shared guests to simply go in there when in use. Bring back the standard door, as in this case function trumps fashion. As with all Hampton Inns--breakfast is included. It's the usual faire and quality if you have been to a Hampton Inn property before. Not much has changed in that for a decade or more. It's doable. Lots of carbs/breads/starches, yogurt, egg, potatoes, coffee, cereal, make your own waffle, etc. Overall another pleasant stay, but not perfect.

I explained that I did not use the water and that it was still there when I checked out. I also shared that I have a photo, as I make it a habit to record a video of the room upon departure for my records. I was then asked to provide a photo with a clearly visible date and time stamp so it could be forwarded to a manager for review. Given the amount of money I have spent with Hilton, it is disappointing to feel as though my honesty is being questioned over such a minor charge. This is not about the $5.00--it is about the principle. I am being charged for something I did not use. If that level of proof is required from guests, it would only be fair for the hotel to provide similar documentation showing the item was missing upon my departure. That expectation would clearly be unreasonable, which is exactly my point. I was told a manager would contact me directly, but I have not received any follow-up. I am very disappointed with the lack of customer service, accountability, and respect shown in this situation.

It was designed by architect Robert Stacy-Judd in the Mayan revival style (but named the Aztec because it was thought this would be more familiar to the public). The hotel was not particularly successful and went through various phases, including rumors of being a speakeasy and a brothel. It was a bit of a notorious spot for a while, with shady characters occupying its rooms. I was told that 11 people have died here which may not be a particularly high number for such an old hotel. Nonetheless, there are claims of hauntings and tales of paranormal activity. Either way, it's a super fascinating and aesthetically marvelous place!
