Los Angeles holidays 2011: City of Angels
Los Angeles is a city that quite surprisingly can yield divided opinions. Some of its iconography is unmistakeable, some of its neighbourhoods even more so.
From the famous ‘Hollywood sign’ to the streets of Beverly Hills (who can forget that collection of *hilarious* films with Eddie Murphy) and the beaches of Santa Monica, Los Angeles is well worth a visit.
From Rodeo Drive (where they filmed Pretty Woman) to the Sunset Strip (and the seedy effervessence of Sunset Boulevard), there’s just so much to see and do in this thrilling city. There’s the Hollywood Bowl, famous venue for The Beatles and Monty Python, not to mention the Hollywood Walk of Fame that pays homage to some of greatest stars of stage and screen.
Film boffins can lap up King Kong 360 – the world’s largest 3D experience at Universal Studios or continue the film loving with a trip to the Chinese Kodak Theatre – home of the Oscars.
There’s huge sporting interest with the LA Lakers basketball team (I remember Chevy Chase wearing the dirty old t-shirt in Fletch) and the Los Angeles Kings ice hockey team. Both play their home fixtures at the Staples Center (excuse the American spelling) – which is right in the heart of the city and well worth day tripping to, purely for the atmosphere! And I haven’t even mentioned David Beckham’s LA Galaxy who play their home games in Carson.
You can even take a trip to Disneyland in Anaheim, California which is around 40 miles away from the main hub of LA.
In terms of accommodation, LA has it all. But I can’t help but mention this one, as any hotel that openly quotes Bob Dylan on its website is ok by me.
I’m referring to the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, owned by the Thompson Hotels. This is a hotel that uses various differing forms of art to publicise itself. It’s pretty cool and funky, as is The Standard Hotel with its eclectic rooftop pool by night.
Browse our full list of Los Angeles hotels, you could even hire a car and twin your trip with somewhere like San Francisco.
