Whiskey Blue at the W Los Angeles is one of those velvet curtain, bottle service-y lounges, if you like that sort of thing. But it's LA, after all, and as they say (and by they, we mean lazy writers using travel clichés): When in Rome, do as the Romans.

When in LA, do as the ridiculously-good-looking-people do. And what they do is slink around the swanky club, sleepily nodding their heads to the tunes of Biggie Smalls. Visitors enter via a frosted-glass staircase surrounded by a cascading waterfall. A moveable partition separates the bar from the lounge.

For a seat on one of the cushioned stools, patrons must fork over the cash for bottle service or stick to the standing-room-only bar area. Anorexic models crowd on the outdoor patio in the back to smoke.

Entrance is guaranteed only for hotel guests. Also, we hear parking is a pain, so might as well splurge for a room and avoid pulling a Lindsay Lohan at the wheel. In case your curious about what they look like, Pat+ has dropped a bunch of room photos into the HotelChatter Flickr Pool.

Rande Gerber, a.k.a. Mr. Cindy Crawford and a former model himself, splits his time between running this establishment and Manhattan's Skybar.
