8.5/10
A strong Plaza pick for spacious rooms, welcoming staff and rooftop downtime.
The Fontaine is an upscale boutique hotel beside Country Club Plaza, and we'd choose it for a sociable weekend rather than a flawless luxury retreat. Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise the spacious, comfortable rooms, walkable shopping-and-dining location and genuinely welcoming staff. The rooftop pool and Nine Zero One restaurant give it more personality than a straightforward business hotel, while cleanliness earns consistently strong marks across booking sites.
The finish isn't uniformly polished: recent guests mention worn details and small maintenance faults, with occasional service follow-through problems. The pool can also get busy, and Expedia lists it as seasonal. Add a mandatory destination fee, paid parking and breakfast charged separately. It's a strong pick for couples and friends exploring the Plaza; we'd skip it for an all-inclusive-feeling stay or consistently meticulous luxury.

Best for: couples on a Plaza weekend; friends seeking rooftop pool time; shopping and dining without much driving
Watch out for: destination fee and paid parking; seasonal pool with busy periods; some room wear and maintenance niggles
Location: Walkable to Country Club Plaza shops and restaurants; not a downtown base.
Rooms: Spacious and comfortable, with rainfall showers, but some recent reports of wear and minor faults.
Cleanliness: A consistent strength across guest reviews, despite scattered housekeeping-service lapses.
Service: Warm, helpful staff attract repeated praise; occasional requests need chasing.
Amenities: Seasonal rooftop pool, Nine Zero One restaurant and bar, coffee shop and 24-hour gym.
Fees and surprises: Mandatory destination fee; self-parking, valet and standard breakfast cost extra; incidental hold required.
