If you are looking for trend-setting fashions, you must go shopping where the stars go: Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Although it is only three blocks long, you can spend the entire day browsing famous shops, including haute couture from Christian Dior, Gucci, Cartier, Valentino and others. Want to rub elbows with the stars? Known as the “Entertainment Capital of the World,” Hollywood is home to some of the most famous nightclubs, popular attractions and world-class shopping. You will also be able to walk down the Hollywood Walk of Fame and see the famous “sidewalk stars” that serve as tribute to the best entertainers in the world. Catch a performance at the ever-so-famous Hollywood Bowl amphitheater. Not only has this place hosted legendary artists like Cher, Frank Sinatra, the Beatles, Willie Nelson, Pink Floyd and Elton John (just to name a few), it also hosts classic performances by the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.
The excitement continues at the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park. Experience blockbuster thrills as you go behind the scenes and on the sets where movies are made. While there, enjoy a night out on the town at Universal City Walk, offering some of L.A.'s hottest restaurants and clubs. Even the museums and art galleries are impressive in this vibrant city. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) are well worth a visit. The LACMA is the premier visual art museum in the western United States and features more than 120,000 works in its permanent collection. As one of the nation’s largest facilities dedicated to contemporary art, the MOCA is one museum with three different locations within a 10-mile radius.
With so much to do, you might have to add an extra week onto your holiday vacations. Choose any of the hotels in Los Angeles, CA listed above and discover family fun activities, big-city nightlife and maybe even find your 15 minutes of fame.
