Beverly Center

“This outdoor mall type entertainment center has everything. Stores, bars, restaurants, movie theaters, beautiful landscaping, a little train that goes from end to end. Lots of outdoor seating and a dancing water feature. Often has entertainment including mini concerts. Usually decorated for holidays. In the same area is an iconic Farmer's market with everything-fresh produce and meat, souvenirs and lots of food booths. You can get your phone repaired or keys copied. This place has something for every budget. Great for people watching. Also the many tours around the city leave from this area. This mall is 2 blocks from the suite. If you go to the top of the parking garage here you get a great view of LA.”

“Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a visual arts museum that offers a collection of Japanese arts, modern and contemporary arts, paintings, photography, textiles, as well as Islamic arts.”

“Just two blocks from Hollywood Boulevard, Runyon Canyon Park is an often overlooked urban park that offers some great views. Atop the canyon, you can glimpse views of the San Fernando Valley and the Pacific Ocean, as well as the Hollywood Sign and Giffith Observatory. The park also boasts several hiking trails and is a popular spot for celebrities to exercise. Travelers say that the canyon is reminiscent of Old Hollywood with several old mansions and estates scattered throughout the park – keep your eyes peeled as you follow the trail. ”

“See the oil pond that used to characterize LA. The museum has dinosaur bones. Kids like this one.”

“Featured in countless movies, but most memorably in Pretty Woman, Rodeo Drive has high end shopping. ”
