During your Los Angeles vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
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.
Freeman House
Frank Lloyd Wright's Freeman House, built in 1924, was designed as an experimental prototype of mass-produced affordable housing. The home's richly patterned "textile-block" exterior was Wright's invention and is the most famous aspect of the home's design. Situated on a dramatic site overlooking Hollywood, Freeman House is built with the world's first glass-to-glass corner windows. Dancer Martha Graham, bandleader Xavier Cugat, art collector Galka Sheye, photographer Edward Weston, and architects Philip Johnson and Richard Neutra all lived or spent significant time at this house, which became known as an avant-garde salon. The house is currently closed for restoration; call ahead to see if it's open.
Sunset Boulevard & The Sunset Strip
Unless you were raised in a cave, you've undoubtedly heard of L.A.'s Sunset Boulevard. The most famous of the city's many legendary boulevards, it winds dozens of miles over prime real estate as it travels from Downtown to the beach, taking its travelers on both a historic and microcosmic journey that defines Los Angeles as a whole -- from tacky strip malls and historic movie studios to infamous strip clubs and some of the most coveted zip codes on earth. In fact, driving the stretch from U.S. 101 to the Pacific should be a prerequisite for all first-time visitors because it provides so perfectly what L.A. is all about: instant gratification.Bam! From the start, you'll see the original CBS Studios, where The Jack Benny Show emanated; the Hollywood Palladium, where Lawrence Welk and the Dorsey Brothers performed; the Sahara Hotel, of many a movie shoot; the Guitar Center's Hollywood RockWalk, where superstars like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Santana, and the Van Halen brothers left handprints or signatures; the "Riot Hyatt," where The Doors, Led Zeppelin, and Guns N' Roses crashed and smashed from the '60s through the '80s; and Chateau Marmont, where Greta Garbo lived and John Belushi died.Phew! And you've barely even started. Once you pass the Chateau Marmont, you're officially cruising the Sunset Strip -- a 1 3/4-mile stretch of Sunset Boulevard from Crescent Heights Boulevard to Doheny Drive. The tour continues with The Comedy Store, where Rosanne, Robin Williams, and David Letterman rose to stardom; Dan Aykroyd's ramshackle House of Blues, where the rock stars still show up for an impromptu show; Tower Records, the largest record store in the world; the Argyle Hotel, where Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, and John Wayne once lived; the ultra-exclusive Skybar within the Mondrian hotel; Johnny Depp's Viper Room, where River Phoenix overdosed in 1993; Whisky A Go-Go, where The Doors were once a house band; and the Rainbow Bar & Grill, where Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, and Bob Marley became legends.Once you emerge from the strip, things calm down considerably as you drive through the tony neighborhoods of Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, and Pacific Palisades. By the time you've reached the ocean you'll have seen a vivid cross-section of the city and a pretty good idea of what L.A. is all about.
W Los Angeles
Design-savvy hipsters looking for cutting-edge style and familiar comforts will enjoy this 15-story, all-suite hotel near UCLA. The former Westwood Marquis underwent a transformation in 2000 under new owners, W Hotels, the "boutique" hotel brand backed by corporate giant Starwood Hotels. Hidden behind a severe concrete exterior, this oasis-like property has always had advantages: an all-suite configuration, 2 lush acres of greenery, and eye-catching '60s architectural detailing that's been liberated from its long-standing Sheetrock prison. Each large two-room suite features bold, angular furnishings in dark African wenge wood, accented with gray carpeting and soft plum textiles. Luxuries include divinely dressed beds, two 27-inch TVs, and two CD players. The bathrooms are spacious but unremarkable, save for inviting waffle-weave robes.Like the all-black-clad staff (who run around with silly Secret Service-style headsets), the public spaces are dressed to impress. Mojo restaurant serves Latin-inspired cuisine and colorful cocktails to uberstylish industry types, but ends up being more flash than substance. Nightlife impresario Rande Gerber runs the bar, Whiskey Blue, which pretty much guarantees a hipster scene on weekend nights. The well-furnished gardenlike pool area has its own outdoor cafe. The full-service spa will even schedule massages in the boldly striped poolside cabanas.Facilities: Restaurant; cocktail lounge; 2 outdoor heated pools; full-service spa and exercise room; concierge; car-rental desk; courtesy car; business center; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry-cleaning service; video and CD libraries.
Raffles L'Ermitage
If the Beverly Hills Hotel symbolizes Hollywood opulence as it once was, L'Ermitage epitomizes what it is today. Each enormous (around 700 sq. ft.), superbly decorated room is done in a contemporary Asian-meets-Scandinavian style that exudes understatement. The real treat is the in-room technology, which includes a CD/DVD player, Bose speakers, a three-line phone system with a whopping five phones throughout the room (including a cellphone you can take with you around town), and "smart" bedside control panels that remember your lighting and climate preferences. The work desk is large, seating is copious and comfortable, carpeting is Berber, fabrics tend to tailored silk, and lighting is soft and on dimmers. The bathrooms feature a soaking tub, a shower for two, and cotton and terry robes. The faultless service includes flexible check-in/check-out and a wealth of freebies that include local and 800 calls, all nonalcoholic beverages in your minibar, customized stationery and business cards with your name and direct-dial phone and fax numbers (very slick), and complimentary DVD lending. Room service is reasonable and carries no automatic service charges. The house restaurant, JAAN, serves modern French-Indochina cuisine in an uberstylish setting. You'll love the rooftop pool as well.Facilities: Jaan Restaurant w/outdoor patio; Living Room for afternoon tea and light meals; Writer's Bar; heated rooftop pool; Amrita spa and health club; 24-hr. concierge; courtesy car; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; laundry service; dry-cleaning service.
Best Western Marina Pacific Hotel & Suites
This bright four-story hotel is a haven of smart value. Located just off the newly renovated Venice Boardwalk and 200 feet from the beach, the hotel's spacious rooms are brightened with beachy colors and dutifully equipped with chain-standard furnishings, fridges, and two-line phones. The one-bedroom suites are terrific for families, offering master bedrooms with king-size beds, fully outfitted kitchens with microwave and dishwasher, dining areas, queen-size sofa sleepers, balconies, and fireplaces. Photos of local scenes and rock 'n' roll legends along with works by local artists give the public spaces a cool L.A. vibe, and many rooms have at least partial ocean views. Additional incentives include complimentary upscale continental breakfast, free local shuttle service, and secured indoor parking. Stay elsewhere if you need a lot in the way of service or if you don't relish the party-hearty human carnival of Venice Beach (Santa Monica is generally quieter and more refined).
