During your Los Angeles vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Bergamot Arts Station & Santa Monica Museum of Art
One of L.A.'s primary cultural destinations is the Bergamot Arts Station. Home to the Santa Monica Museum of Art, this campuslike complex is a hugely popular destination for visitors from around the world. The location dates from 1875 when it was a stop for the Red Line trolley, and retains its industrial, rustic look. Filled with 20 galleries, the unique installations on display here range from photography and sculpture to interactive pieces that are both eclectic and cutting edge. Its central location allows visitors to park and spend the day seeing art rather than driving from one gallery to the next, and many pieces are available for purchase. A must-see for the arts lover.
Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels
Completed in September 2002 at a cost of $163 million and built to last 500 years, this ultra-contemporary cathedral is one of L.A.'s newest architectural treasures and the third-largest cathedral in the world. It was designed by award-winning Spanish architect Jose Rafael Moneo and features a 20,000-square-foot plaza, more than 6,000 crypts and niches (making it the largest crypt mausoleum in the U.S.), Mission-style colonnades, biblically inspired gardens, and numerous artworks created by world-acclaimed artists. While most Angelinos admit that the exterior of this austere, sand-colored structure is rather uninspiring and uninviting (the church doors don't face the street, but rather a private plaza in back surrounded by fortresslike walls), the view from the inside is breathtaking: Soaring heights, 12,000 panes of translucent alabaster, and larger-than-life tapestries lining the walls create an awe-inspiring sense of magnificence and serenity. The bronze doors, created by sculptor Robert Graham, pay homage to Ghiberti's bronze baptistery door in Florence. The cathedral now serves as the Mother Church of the Archdiocese of L.A.
Griffith Observatory
Made world-famous in the film Rebel Without a Cause, Griffith Observatory's bronze domes have been Hollywood Hills landmarks since 1935. Most visitors don't actually go inside; they come to this spot on the south slope of Mount Hollywood for unparalleled city views. On warm nights, with the lights twinkling below, this is one of the most romantic places in L.A.The main dome houses a planetarium, where narrated projection shows reveal the stars and planets that are hidden from the naked eye by the city's lights and smog. Other shows take you on excursions into space to search for extraterrestrial life, or examine the causes of earthquakes and moonquakes.The adjacent Hall of Science holds exhibits on galaxies, meteorites, and other cosmic objects, including a telescope trained on the sun, a Foucault pendulum, and earth and moon globes 6 feet in diameter. On clear nights, you can gaze at the heavens through the powerful 12-inch telescope.Please note: The entire Griffith Observatory area is closed for a major renovation and expansion and will not reopen until late 2005 (possibly even later, according to rumor). However, a temporary Griffith Observatory Satellite, located just south of the Los Angeles Zoo at 4800 Western Heritage Way, hosts planetarium shows, a modest display of astronomy exhibits, and a telescope to view the moon and planets at night; public access is free. It's open Tuesday through Friday 1 to 10pm, and Saturday and Sunday 10am to 10pm. Call tel. 323/664-1181 for more information.
Beach House at Hermosa Beach
Sporting a Cape Cod style that suits the on-the-sand location, this luxurious, romantic inn is comprised of beautifully designed and outfitted split-level studio suites. Every bright, sunny unit comes with a plush, furnished living room with a wood-burning fireplace (Duraflame logs provided) and entertainment center; a microkitchen with china and flatware for four; an elevated sleeping niche with a down-dressed king bed, a second TV, and a generous work area; an extralarge bathroom with an extradeep soaking tub, a separate shower, cotton robes, and Aveda products; and a furnished balcony, many of which overlook the beach (believe me -- it's worth the extra money to score a beachfront room). While sofas convert into second beds, the unit configuration is best suited to couples rather than families; more than three is too many. Despite the summertime carnival atmosphere of the Strand, the Beach House keeps serene with double-paned windows and noise-insulated walls. An excellent light breakfast is served in the sunny breakfast room overlooking The Strand. The attentive staff has an easygoing attitude that suits the property perfectly. While L.A.'s city center is at least a half-hour drive away, Hermosa is airport-convenient and ideal for a beach getaway.In room: A/C, 2 TVs, stereo w/5-disk CD changer, dataport, stocked kitchenette w/microwave, coffeemaker, stovetop, fridge, hair dryer, iron, menu of spa services.
Park Hyatt Los Angeles
I like big hotel rooms, the kind where you don't even notice the other bathroom until it's time to check out. Nobody famous overdosed at the Park Hyatt Los Angeles or destroyed a guestroom or shot a music video -- it's not that kind of hotel. Rather, the Park is Hyatt's top-of-the-line brand, and this Century City property is well known among the entertainment industry for its quiet location, discreet staff, excellent Park Grill restaurant, and central L.A. location. Before checking into your room, take a moment to relax in the sun-filled atrium lounge and order the bar's signature lychee martini (trust me on this one). Each of the hotel's newly renovated guest rooms has a private balcony with great views of the city, as well as plush beds with Egyptian cotton linens and down pillows, Italian pink marble bathrooms, rich cherry wood furnishings, and a soothing color scheme of mocha, ivory, and sunflower yellow. Since you're already in for a penny, splurge on a roomy west-side executive suite overlooking the Fox Studios and the setting sun. Also, be sure to reserve a few hours at one of the hotel's three new private spa villas, particularly if you're traveling with your partner -- the blend of romance and therapeutic relaxation is heavenly. Tip: Request a corner room, which doubles your view at no extra cost, and log onto the hotel's website for a "Best Rate Guarantee."Facilities: 2 restaurants and lobby lounge w/light fare; morning coffee, tea, and mineral water in lobby; heated rooftop infinity pool and spa; fitness facilities; Clefs d'Or concierge and business services; free limousine service to Beverly Hills; 24-hr. in-room dining; daily laundry and dry-cleaning service; balconies w/panoramic views; complimentary newspaper delivery. In room: A/C, TV and CD player, DVD upon request, 3 dual-line phones w/voice mail, fax machines, high-speed Internet access, minibar, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, personal safe.
Holiday Inn Brentwood/Bel-Air
This L.A. landmark is the last of a vanishing breed of circular hotels from the 1960s and 1970s. It's perched beside the city's busiest freeway a short hop from the popular Getty Center and centrally located between the beaches, Beverly Hills, and the San Fernando Valley. Completely refurbished in 2000, each pie-shape room boasts a private balcony and double-paned glass to keep the noise out; little extras like Nintendo games, in-room bottled water, and great views add panache to otherwise-unremarkable chain-style accommodations. You'll also enjoy a million-dollar 360-degree view from the hotel's top-floor West restaurant, which serves a casual, please-all cuisine; the adjoining cocktail lounge features live piano nightly. Popular with older travelers and museum groups, the hotel provides complimentary pickup and drop-off service to the Getty Center and Westwood.Facilities: Rooftop restaurant and lounge; heated outdoor pool and Jacuzzi; exercise room; concierge; activities desk; free shuttle to Getty Center and within a 3-mile radius; room service (6am-10pm); coin-op laundry; laundry service; dry-cleaning service.
