Nicknamed the ‘City of Angels’, Los Angeles is the largest city in California. In a true representation of multiculturalism, the city is home to around 13 million inhabitants who speak close to 225 languages! Los Angeles is considered by most travelers to be the greatest city in the world and it’s no wonder: it’s home to the world’s most glamorous industry, Hollywood. High-end travelers therefore like to stay in the best five-star hotels simply oozing with luxury.
Would you blame them for choosing among Los Angeles luxury hotels like the Peninsula Beverly Hills? This king among Los Angeles luxury hotels exists in the heart of Beverly Hills, the hub of global glamour. Located within walking distance of the business and shopping district, it is the only five-star hotel in Southern California to have received a Mobil Five-Star rating for 11 consecutive years. Elegant interiors and friendliness are decidedly the hallmarks of this five-star luxury hotel. Guests who love tea quietly should join other like-minded guests in the living room.
Any seasoned guest will tell you that luxury spas complete the five-star luxury hotel experience. In this sense, the luxury spa at the Peninsula Beverly Hills delivers in a big way. Magnificent body massages and revolutionary treatments make your stay truly memorable.
Exploring Beverly Hills can be a lot of fun, especially places like Marilyn Monroe’s Brentwood home, where she lived with her husband, footballer Joe DiMaggio, and where she took her last breath.
Guests also like to visit Universal Studios, known for some of its great shows, such as the Waterworld Sea War Spectacular with its fireworks, jet skis, and stunts. You can then drive up Hollywood Boulevard to Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, located on the famous Hollywood “Walk of Fame” designed by famous Southern California artist Oliver Weismuller. Home to Hollywood premieres and parties, the most important feature of the theater is the set of concrete blocks with signature prints, handprints and other prints of famous film personalities from the 1920s to the present.
One of LA’s landmarks is its Disneyland. Divided into eight ‘themed’ sections, it’s packed with fun rides that are constantly being updated. Other fun things like fireworks, boat rides, and electric and laser parades are designed to bring out the kid in you.
Your trip to Los Angeles would be incomplete without a visit to the Getty Museum which features European paintings, sculptures and sketches. He also has an impressive collection of both Roman and Greek antiquities. The museum’s architecture is one of the most compelling pieces in all of Southern California.
Take time to drive to Venice Beach, famous for its waterfront. The beach is a truly lively spectacle packed with dancers, skaters and cyclists. Food stalls and shops make this place especially interesting. Take a walk along the canals and the boardwalk, especially at night, and feel the cool ocean breeze on your hair and face. A real fun place is also very relaxing.
