During your Los Angeles vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Skirball Cultural Center
This strikingly modern museum/cultural center is quick to remind us that Jewish history is about more than the Holocaust. Nestled in the Sepulveda Pass uphill from the Getty Center, the Skirball explores American Jewish life, American democratic values, and the pursuit of the American Dream -- a theme shared by many immigrant groups. The Skirball's core exhibits chronicle the journey of the Jewish people through the ages, with emphasis on American Jewry. Related events are held here throughout the year; one recent highlight was a rollicking festival of klezmer music (a traditional Jewish folk style). Call for free docent-led tour times.

City Hall
Built in 1928, the 27-story triangular Los Angeles City Hall was the tallest building in the city for more than 30 years. The structure's distinctive ziggurat roof was featured in the film War of the Worlds, but it is probably best known as the headquarters of the Daily Planet in the Superman TV series. When it was built, City Hall was the sole exception to an ordinance outlawing buildings taller than 150 feet. On a clear day (yeah, right), the top-floor observation deck offers views to Mount Wilson, 15 miles away.

Farmers Market and The Grove
The original market was little more than a field with stands set up by farmers during the Depression so they could sell directly to city dwellers. Eventually, permanent buildings grew up, including the trademark shingled 10-story clock tower. Today the place has evolved into a sprawling marketplace with a carnival atmosphere, a kind of "turf" version of San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf. About 100 restaurants, shops, and grocers cater to a mix of workers from the CBS Television City complex, locals, and tourists, brought here by the busload. Retailers sell greeting cards, kitchen implements, candles, and souvenirs, but everyone comes for the food stands, which offer oysters, hot donuts, Cajun gumbo, fresh-squeezed orange juice, corned beef sandwiches, fresh-pressed peanut butter, and all kinds of international fast foods. You can still buy produce here -- it's no longer a farm-fresh bargain, but the selection's better than at the grocery store. Don't miss Kokomo (tel. 323/933-0773), a "gourmet" outdoor coffee shop that has become a power breakfast spot for showbiz types. Red turkey hash and sweet-potato fries are the dishes that keep them coming back. The seafood gumbo and gumbo ya ya at the Gumbo Pot (tel. 323/933-0358) are also very popular.At the eastern end of the Farmers Market is The Grove, a massive 575,000-square-foot Vegas-style retail complex composed of various architectural styles ranging from Art Deco to Italian Renaissance. Miniature streets link The Grove to the Market via a double-deck electric trolley. Granted, it's all a bit Disney-gaudy, but the locals love it. Where else can you power-shop until noon, check all your bags at a drop-off station, get a spa treatment at Amadeus Spa (tel. 323/297-0311), see a movie at the 14-screen Grove Theatre, have an early dinner at Maggiano's Little Italy (tel. 323/965-9665), and be home by 7pm?

Chateau Marmont
Perched secretively in a curve above the Sunset Strip, the château modeled after an elegant Loire Valley castle is a landmark from 1920s-era Hollywood; step inside and you expect to find John Barrymore or Errol Flynn holding inebriated court in the baronial living room (in fact, some say it's actually haunted). Greta Garbo regularly checked in as Harriet Brown, and Jim Morrison was one of many celebrities to call this home in later years. This historical landmark built its reputation on exclusivity and privacy, which was shattered when John Belushi overdosed in Bungalow No. 2. Now under the guiding hand of boutique hotelier Andre Balazs (also lord of the Standard and New York's temple of SoHo style, the Mercer Hotel), the funky luxury oasis revels in its lore-filled past, yet it's hipper and more exclusive than ever. No two of the antiques-filled accommodations -- standard rooms, suites, cottages, and bungalows -- are alike: The poolside Spanish-style garden cottages are outfitted in Arts and Crafts style, while suites and bungalows may get a 1950s look or a Gothic style. Many units have fireplaces and CD stereos, and all but 11 have kitchenettes or full kitchens.The Chateau Marmont is beautifully kept, eternally chic, faultlessly service oriented, and overflowing with Hollywood and rock 'n' roll lore (not to mention a look-at-me/don't-look-at-me clientele), but it's not for everybody. This is a place where quirkiness rules, so don't expect traditional luxuries. It's best for those with left-of-center attitudes and a real penchant for Hollywood romanticism. If that's you, don't stay anywhere else -- this will be the highlight of your vacation.Facilities: Restaurant (serves in lobby, garden, and dining room); Bar Marmont; outdoor heated pool w/brick sun deck; exercise room; access to nearby health club; 24-hr. concierge; business center; secretarial services; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; same-day laundry and dry cleaning; CD library.

Sunset Marquis Hotel & Villas
This sprawling Mediterranean-style all-suite hotel is the ultimate music-industry hostelry, regularly hosting the biggest names in rock (The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, U2, and even Eminem are all repeat customers). In fact, to lure in the megastars the hotel even installed a state-of-the-art recording studio in the basement. After their recording session, the musicians can then retire to the dark and sexy Whiskey Bar (a favorite refuge of celebs), where their newly recorded session can be piped in directly. Of course, unless you're staying at the hotel, you'll never get in (which, in itself, is reason enough to stay). The hotel is located a short walk from the rowdy Sunset Strip, but it feels a world away, with its lush gardens, koi ponds, exotic birds, brick paths, and tropical foliage. The only shortcoming used to be the standard suites, outfitted in traditional motel style -- until now, that is. They were remade in a practical but attractive and comfortable modern style, with clean-lined furnishings in mahogany, metal, and nubby textiles, earth-toned fabrics, Noguchi Akari rice-paper lamps, and marble counters. The villas take hospitality to a totally new level -- they have private alarm systems and butlers, plus select features like baby grand pianos and Jacuzzi tubs.Facilities: Restaurant; bar; 2 outdoor heated pools; exercise room; Jacuzzi; sauna; excellent 24-hr. concierge service; business center; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry-cleaning service; 48-track/112-channel automated recording studio.

Viceroy
Currently at the top of L.A.'s coveted "in" list is this new uberchic hotel on the sea side of Santa Monica. Of course, part of being "in" is breaking new ground, and that's certainly what designer Kelly Wearstler has achieved with her "Modern Colonialism" makeover. It's the startling color scheme that first grabs your attention as you enter the lobby -- a rather unorthodox blend of parrot green, charcoal gray, and glossy white with chrome, silver, and ebony highlights. Then there's the dish thing: hundreds of custom-made china arranged in symmetrical patterns throughout the hotel and guest rooms (Where's The Who when you really need them?). The array of white patent leather chaises in the lobby seem more for form than function; most guests prefer more conventional seating in the Cameo bar, Whist restaurant, and private poolside cabanas. The edgy-English theme is applied to each guest room as well, along with an array of high-tech toys (27-inch flat screen TV, another flat screen TV in the marble-laden bathrooms, a CD/DVD player, and T1 Internet access), custom-made furnishings, and luxuries such as Frette linens and bathrobes, Molton Brown products, and down comforters and pillows. You'll enjoy the location as well -- a short walk to the beach and in the thick of the shopping, entertainment, and restaurant scene. Tip: Splurge for an oceanview room; your only other choice is the hotel parking lot.
