CHAMBERLAIN WEST HOLLYWOOD PUTS THE HEAT ON CONDÉ NAST TRAVELER'S "HOT LIST" FOR 2006
- Stylish new L.A. boutique hotel sited for design, décor, dining and more -

April 19, 2006 (Los Angeles) - Chamberlain West Hollywood in Los Angeles has been selected as one of the world's best new hotels by Condé Nast Traveler. The upscale and widely read travel magazine included the stylish property as part of its 10th-annual "Hot List" of "The Year's 130 Top New Hotels" for 2006. As always, the "Hot List" included just those new properties that won over the magazine's editors in looks, location and service.

"Hotels are like husbands - you can kiss a lot of frogs on the way to Prince Charming," noted the May 2006 issue of Traveler. "Our worldwide network of reporters did just that, combing through thousands of new properties and bedding down in the most promising."

Indeed. Chamberlain West Hollywood, a 112-room metropolitan boutique hotel that was opened in a residential nook between the Sunset Strip and Santa Monica Boulevard by the Kor Hotel Group in May 2005, is a striking mix of classic and contemporary style. "You've got to love a place where the room service menu offers five different Belgian beers," wrote Traveler's editors, noting that Chamberlain "marches to the beat of a different drummer." The magazine noted the hotel's muted color tones, "efficient and pleasant" staff, sunny atrium restaurant "that morphs after dark into an intimate bistro," and the rooftop terrace with its pool and "billowy Arabian Nights cabanas that look over the twinkling lights of Hollywood."

"We are thrilled that Chamberlain West Hollywood is part of the hottest listing in upscale accommodations," said Brad Korzen, CEO of Kor Hotel Group. "Condé Nast Traveler" is not only written by some of the world's most sophisticated travelers, but read by them as well. To be selected as one of the most notable new hotels in the world is an honor as well as a testament to all of Chamberlain's hardworking and dedicated employees."

Guest room rates at Chamberlain West Hollywood start at $219 per night. For reservations and information, contact (866) 891-0949; or log onto www.chamberlainwesthollywood.com
