Sirtaj Hotel occupies a compact, box-shaped three-story building with small windows on a residential street in the heart of Beverly Hills. The vibe here is stylish and trendy, with a few Indian-inspired accents. There's a pleasant outdoor patio in front of the hotel connected to P.S. Beverly Hills, the restaurant and bar. The reception area is decorated in a vibrant, trendy style with walls painted in a bright turquoise, blow-ups of black-and-white architectural prints, and framed Indian mirror-work textiles on the walls. The lime-green contemporary-style chairs and brown velour rugs complement the modern decor. Past guests have complained of the slow and creaky elevator -- as the hotel only has three floors, it may be faster to take the stairs. Guests are welcomed on arrival with a glass of mango juice. Most of the guests staying here are couples visiting the city as leisure travelers, but many business travelers also choose to stay here.

Sirtaj Hotel is located on a quiet residential street across from a small park in central Beverly Hills. Rodeo Drive is just a few blocks away. Many tourist attractions are easily accessible from here, and there are plenty of bars, cafes, and restaurants nearby.

The same stylish and colorful decor of the hotel's public spaces is replicated in the 32 guest rooms. Bright orange accent walls and bed runners in vivid shades of orange and hot pink add splashes of color to each space. The dark wood furniture is simple and modern in style, and the walls that separates the bedrooms from the bathrooms are made of orange- and yellow-tinted glass with paisley designs -- another fun and colorful accent. Some of the guest rooms can be a bit cramped, and the bathrooms are likewise compact, with glass-doored walk-in showers. All the rooms have air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, 42-inch flat-screen TVs, refrigerated minibars, and a few notable extras like tablets and Lavazza espresso machines. Upper-category Traditional King and Luxury King Rooms also feature iHome docking stations. The Luxury King Room has a separate sitting area, pull-out couch, and balcony. Be aware that some guests have complained about poor soundproofing between the guest rooms.

For an upscale hotel, Sirtaj Hotel has few extra features or amenities. The stylish P.S. Beverly Hills restaurant is open throughout the day and serves an American breakfast (for a fee), and Indian and Italian cuisine for lunch and dinner. An attached bar offers craft beers and specialty cocktails. Room service is also available. A computer is available at the front desk for guest use, and Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. There is no pool, spa, or gym on the premises, but guests can request use of a nearby gym and spa located two blocks away. Valet parking is available for a pricey extra fee.
