I'll be spending two weeks in and around LA this summer and I'm not sure yet where to stay.

I've stayed at the following hotels in the past:
-The Montage Beverly Hills
-The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel
-The Four Seasons Santa Barbara
-Casa Del Mar, Santa Monica

I'm considering to stay at these properties:
-Pelican Hill Newport Beach
-The Montage Laguna Beach

Any other ideas would be appreciated.
