“This is wonderful news for Culver City,” Horowitz told Patch via telephone. “The Culver Hotel is also now #1 with TripAdvisor.com in Culver City.  Our reviews are wonderful and we have taken the rightful position as the best hotel in Culver City,” he added.

“This is much more powerful that AAA’s 4 Diamond ratings,” he said. “We can’t even get a 4 Diamond rating because we simply don’t meet the criteria because [our hotel] doesn’t have a pool.”

Horowitz said he’s very excited because now the Culver Hotel can compete with 4 star hotels in Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and West Hollywood.

“What this rating is really going to do is help us attract business from Europe,” he said, especially with summer around the corner. “People can now choose to stay in a $400 a night hotel in Santa Monica or a $250 a night hotel in Culver City, which is much closer to everything in LA.”

Horowitz also said the new ranking is a validation of the money spent, the design undertaken and the concentration on excellent service at the hotel.

“We are a truly beautiful boutique hotel and [this rating] is another reason for Culver City to be proud of the Culver Hotel. I look at the way we position ourselves [at the hotel] as a reflection of the community and the community is a reflection of us. Culver City is one of the greatest destinations in LA County.”
