Thanks again to tipster Kal B who let us know that Starwood Hotels has put up a website link for their new SLS Hotels brand and its first location The SLS at "Beverly Hills."

We put quotes around that because it's the very border of LA and Beverly Hills. To say Beverly Hills is actually quite misleading because it's way closer to the Beverly Center than Rodeo Drive. Indeed the actual address of the hotel (on La Cienega) puts it in the LA zip code.

Anyways, there are two photos of the rooms up and we are so far not loving the fur blanket on the beds. We are also not loving the planned 10am check-out time. What is going on with Starwood? First Aloft gets at 10am check-out and now SLS?

Still, we're trying not to be too grumpy about this new brand so here are some positives:

Each of the 297 rooms and suites, including 32 anti-allergen "pure" rooms, feature Phillippe Starck designed customized décor. Plush bedding, 42" flat screens and a host of personalized indulgences and amenities create a study in modern opulence.

There's also going to be a rooftop pool and a restaurant from chef Jose Andres. And who doesn't love goblet-swilling monkeys?
