During your Los Angeles vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Mission San Gabriel Arcangel
Founded in 1771, Mission San Gabriel Arcangel retains its original facade, notable for its high oblong windows and large capped buttresses said to have been influenced by the cathedral in Cordova, Spain. The mission's self-contained compound encompasses an aqueduct, a cemetery, a tannery, and a working winery. Within the church stands a copper font with the dubious distinction of being the first one used to baptize a Native Californian. The most notable contents of the mission's museum are Native American paintings depicting the Stations of the Cross, done on sailcloth, with colors made from crushed desert flower petals.
The Egyptian Theatre
Conceived by grandiose impresario Sid Grauman, the Egyptian Theatre is just down the street from his better-known Chinese Theatre, but it remains less altered from its original design, which was based on the then-headline-news discovery of hidden treasures in Pharaohs' tombs -- hence the hieroglyphic murals and enormous scarab decoration above the stage. Hollywood's first movie premiere, Robin Hood, starring Douglas Fairbanks, was shown here in 1922, followed by the premiere of The Ten Commandments in 1923. The building recently underwent a sensitive restoration by American Cinematheque, which now screens rare, classic, and independent films (see chapter 10 for details).
Pacific Asia Museum
The most striking aspect of this museum is the building itself. Designed in the 1920s in Chinese Imperial Palace style, it's rivaled in flamboyance only by Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Rotating exhibits of 14,000 rare Asian and Pacific Islands art and artifacts span the centuries, from 100 B.C. to the current day. This manageably-sized museum is worth a visit, particularly if you're an adherent of Buddhism.
Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites
This 35-story, 1,354-room monolith is the hotel that locals love to hate. The truth is that the Bonaventure is a terrific hotel. It's certainly not for travelers who want intimacy or personality in their accommodations -- but with more than 20 restaurants and bars, a full-service spa, a monster health club, a Kinko's-size business center, and much more on hand, you'll be hard-pressed to want for anything here (except maybe some individualized attention). And with a $35 million renovation recently completed, this convention favorite has never looked better or felt fresher.The hotel's five gleaming glass silos encompass an entire square block and form one of Downtown's most distinctive landmarks. The six-story lobby houses fountains and trees (and, surprise, a Starbucks). A tangle of concrete ramps and 12 high-speed glass elevators lead to the extensive array of shops and services. Among the highlights is the rooftop L.A. Prime Steak House and revolving BonaVista lounge, both offering unparalleled views and even a Krispy Kreme Donut Stand (Well, that settles it!).The pie-shape guest rooms are on the small side, but a wall of windows offering great views, and Westin's unparalleled Heavenly Bed -- the ultimate in hotel-bed comfort -- make for a very comfortable cocoon. With an executive workstation, fax, and wet bar, guest office suites are great for business travelers, while tower suites -- with a living room, an extra half-bathroom, a minifridge, a microwave, and two TVs -- are ideal for families.Facilities: 17 restaurants and fast-food outlets; 5 bars and lounges; outdoor heated lap pool; 15,000-sq.-ft. full-service spa w/exercise room, running track, and access to adjacent 85,000-sq.-ft. health club; Westin Kids Club; concierge; tour desk; Dollar Rent-a-Car desk; full-service business and copy center; shops; salon; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry-cleaning service; executive club level.
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.
Hotel Oceana
Located right across the street from the ocean, this all-suite hotel sits alongside low-rise, high-rent condos on a gorgeous stretch of Ocean Avenue, several blocks north of the Santa Monica hubbub. With their bright Matisse-style interiors and cushy IKEA-ish furniture, the wonderful apartment-like suites are colorful, modern, and amenity laden: Goodies run the gamut from comfy robes, multiple TVs, and CD players to full gourmet kitchens stocked with Wolfgang Puck microwavable pizzas, Häagen-Dazs pints, and bottles of California Merlot. The enormous size of the suites -- even the studios are huge -- makes the Oceana terrific for families or shares. Oceanview suites feature balconies and two-person whirlpool tubs in the mammoth bathrooms, but don't feel the need to stretch your budget for a view, as all units sit garden-style around the courtyard with its cushiony chaises and boomerang-shape pool. Everything is fresh, welcoming, and noninstitutional -- the primary colors and playful modern style suits the beach location perfectly, and service is excellent -- so it's no wonder advertising execs and others who could stay anywhere make the Oceana their choice for long-term stays.Facilities: Outdoor heated pool; exercise room; access to nearby health club; watersports equipment; concierge; business center; 24-hr. room service; room service from Wolfgang Puck Cafe (7am-10pm); in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry-cleaning service.
