During your Los Angeles vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Hollywood Entertainment Museum
Initially intended to be a cornerstone of Hollywood Boulevard renewal, this 33,000-square-foot facility was plagued by internal politicking and faulty architecture long before it opened in 1996. Once you find its awkward subterranean entrance, you'll enter a seriously unkitschy museum devoted to the entertainment arts. On display are highlights from a treasure-trove collection of original sets and props from nearly a century of film, TV, and radio. For example, you can pull up a stool at the complete Cheers bar (look for where the stars carved their initials in the bar during the final episode) or sit in the captain's chair of the original set from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The best part is a series of interactive demonstration rooms that teach various tricks of filmmaking; visitors can create Foley soundtracks for a movie segment, test their skills at digital editing, and try out other fun, educational procedures. Fans of the defunct Max Factor Museum of Beauty will be happy to learn that the collection from Hollywood's premier motion-picture cosmetic designer is shown here -- antique makeup pots, glamour photos, and superstar toupees intact. If you're still not satiated, sign up for the studio back-lot tour to learn all about the film-making process.
Norton Simon Museum of Art
Named for a food-packing king and financier who reorganized the failing Pasadena Museum of Modern Art, the Norton Simon displays one of the finest private collections of European, American, and Asian art in the world (and yet another feather in the cap of architect Frank Gehry, who redesigned the interior space). Comprehensive collections of masterpieces by Degas, Picasso, Rembrandt, and Goya are augmented by sculptures by Henry Moore and Auguste Rodin, including The Burghers of Calais, which greets you at the gates. The "Blue Four" collection of works by Kandinsky, Jawlensky, Klee, and Feininger is impressive, as is a superb collection of Southeast Asian sculpture. Still Life with Lemons, Oranges, and a Rose (1633), an oil by Francisco de Zurbarán, is one of the museum's most important holdings. Perhaps the most popular piece is The Flower Vendor/Girl with Lilies, by Diego Rivera, followed by Goya's Disasters of War. The collection of paintings, sculptures, pastels, and prints by French Impressionist Edgar Degas is among the best in the world. Tip: Unless you're an art expert, you'll probably want to take the "Acoustiguide" audio tour -- it's $3 well spent.
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.
Shutters on the Beach
This Cape Cod-style luxury hotel enjoys one of the city's most prized locations: directly on the beach, a block from Santa Monica Pier. Only relative newcomer Casa del Mar can compete, but Shutters bests the Casa by attaching alfresco balconies to every guest room. The beach-cottage rooms overlooking the sand are more desirable and no more expensive than those in the towers. The views and sounds of the ocean are the most outstanding qualities of the spacious, luxuriously outfitted, Cape Cod-inspired rooms, some of which have fireplaces and/or whirlpool tubs; all have floor-to-ceiling windows that open. The elegant marble bathrooms come with generous counter space and welcome whimsies that include waterproof radios and toy whales. A relaxed ambience pervades the contemporary art-filled public spaces, which feel like the common areas of a deluxe Montauk beach house. The small swimming pool and the sunny lobby lounge overlooking the sand are two great perches for spotting the celebrities who swear by Shutters as an alternative hangout to smoggy Hollywood. One Pico, the hotel's premier restaurant, serves modern American cuisine in a seaside setting; the best meals at the more casual Pedals Cafe come from the wood-burning grill.Facilities: Restaurant; cafe; lobby lounge; outdoor heated pool and Jacuzzi; health club w/spa services; sauna; extensive beach equipment rentals; concierge; activities desk; courtesy car; business center w/secretarial services; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry-cleaning service; video library.
Mondrian
Theatrical, coveted, sophisticated -- this is the kind of place superhotelier Ian Schrager has created from a once-drab apartment building. Working with his regular partner, enfant terrible French designer Philippe Starck (as he successfully did at Miami's Delano and Manhattan properties like the Royalton and Hudson), Schrager used the Mondrian's breathtaking views (from every room) as the starting point for his vision of a "hotel in the clouds." Purposely underlit hallways lead to bright, clean rooms done in shades of white, beige, and pale gray and outfitted with simple furniture casually slipcovered in white; about three-quarters of the rooms and suites have fully outfitted kitchenettes. Truthfully, the accommodations themselves are only secondary -- stay here if you want to be part of a superhip, star-studded scene. Set poolside and in a magical treehouse, Skybar is still one of L.A.'s hottest watering holes, and booking a room guarantees admission. (Soundproof windows on the entire south side of the building have already dealt with a troublesome noise problem in rooms overlooking the raucous late-night scene.) In addition to its terrific -- and ultrahip -- Asian-Latin fusion restaurant Asia de Cuba, light meals and sushi are served at a quirky communal table in the lobby. The beautiful-people staff isn't strong on service, but so what? They look great.Facilities: Asia de Cuba restaurant; Seabar for sushi in lobby; Skybar alfresco bar; outdoor pool; exercise room w/sauna and Jacuzzi; Agua Spa; concierge; business center; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; laundry service; dry-cleaning service; video, DVD, and CD libraries.
Summerfield Suites Hotel--West Hollywood
This four-story all-suite property in a residential West Hollywood neighborhood looks and feels much like a high-quality apartment building. An unassuming interior and quiet public areas are hallmarks of value -- less flash for less cash. Likewise, accommodations are nicely outfitted without being excessive in either size or style. All of the pastel-colored suites have kitchenettes, contemporary furnishings, dedicated living areas, pretty good original art, and petite balconies overlooking Hollywood or Beverly Hills. Some larger units feature sunken living rooms, gas fireplaces, and full kitchens. A complimentary full breakfast buffet is offered daily.
