Description: Fascinating and quirky while altogether fashionable, the ZaZa wins fans as much for overall style in 154 rooms as its concept suites, such as the Bohemian, Erotica, Far East, and Rock Star, some of which have private kitchens or large terraces. Enormously popular for weddings and corporate events, it’s a good place to entertain or take a pampered vacation. A fabulous spa is on-site, and there’s a special pet menu for dog lovers, too. Celebrity guests have included George Clooney, Kate Hudson, Alex Rodriguez, and Lance Armstrong. The Urban Oasis is ZaZa’s pool and patio party site, open even in winter with its enclosed tents and a covered pool. The Dragonfly is a popular restaurant, and the hotel offers its Magic Carpet Ride, a car service taking guests to destinations within a 5-mile radius.
