During your Los Angeles vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
The Bradbury Building
This National Historic Landmark, built in 1893 and designed by George Wyman, is Los Angeles's oldest commercial building and one of the city's most revered architectural achievements. Legend has it that an inexperienced draftsman named George Wyman accepted the $125,000 commission after communicating with his dead brother through a Ouija board. Capped by a magical five-story skylight, Bradbury's courtyard combines glazed brick, ornate Mexican tile floors, rich Belgian marble, Art Nouveau grillwork, handsome oak paneling, and lacelike wrought-iron railings -- it's one of the great interior spaces of the 19th century. The glass-topped atrium is often used as a movie and TV set; you've probably seen it before in Chinatown and Blade Runner.
UCLA Hammer Museum
Created by the former chairman and CEO of Occidental Petroleum, the Hammer Museum has had a hard time winning the respect of critics and the public. Barbs are aimed at both the museum's relatively flat collection and its patron's tremendous ego. The Hammer is ensconced in a two-story Carrara marble building attached to the oil company's offices. It's better known for its high-profile and often provocative visiting exhibits, such as the opulent prerevolution treasures of Russian ruler Catherine the Great. In conjunction with UCLA's Wight Gallery, a feisty gallery with a reputation for championing contemporary political and experimental art, the Hammer continues to present often daring and usually popular special exhibits, and it's definitely worth calling ahead to find out what will be there during your visit to L.A. The permanent collection (Armand Hammer's personal collection) consists mostly of traditional western European and Anglo-American art, and contains noteworthy paintings by Toulouse-Lautrec, Rembrandt, Degas, and van Gogh. A $25 million renovation and expansion -- including four new galleries, a restaurant, and a 288-seat theater -- should be completed by the time you're reading this.
Will Rogers State Historic Park
Will Rogers State Historic Park was once Will Rogers's private ranch and grounds. Willed to the state of California in 1944, the 168-acre estate is now both a park and a historic site, supervised by the Department of Parks and Recreation. Visitors may explore the grounds, the former stables, and the 31-room house filled with the original furnishings, including a porch swing in the living room and many Native American rugs and baskets. Charles Lindbergh and his wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, hid out here in the 1930s during part of the craze that followed the kidnap and murder of their first son. There are picnic tables, but no food is sold.Who's Will Rogers, you ask? He was born in Oklahoma in 1879 and became a cowboy in the Texas Panhandle before drifting into a Wild West show as a folksy, speechifying roper. The "cracker-barrel philosopher" performed lariat tricks while carrying on a humorous deadpan monologue on current events. The showman moved to Los Angeles in 1919, where he become a movie actor as well as the author of numerous books detailing his down-home "cowboy philosophy."
Beverly Hills Hotel and Bungalows
Behind the famous facade (remember the Eagles'Hotel California album?) lies this star-studded haven where legends were, and still are, made: The "Pink Palace" was center stage for both deal- and star-making in Hollywood's golden days. Today stars and industry hotshots, or as one member of the staff joked, "all the current rulers of the universe," can still be found lounging around the Olympic-size pool (into which Katharine Hepburn once dove fully clothed) or digging into Dutch apple pancakes in the iconic Polo Lounge, where Hunter S. Thompson kicked off his adventure to Las Vegas, and where Ozzy Osbourne has been known to sip his afternoon tea. I had the pleasure of staying here recently and was so impressed with the entire experience that the Beverley Hills Hotel has become my new favorite among every other hotel in Los Angeles. It is a truly world-class property, and improvements over the years have only added to its luster.Following a $100 million restoration a few years back, the hotel's grand lobby and impeccably landscaped grounds retain their over-the-top glory, while the lavish guest rooms -- each uniquely decorated in a subdued palate of pinks, greens, apricots, and yellows -- boast every state-of-the-art luxury, including extralarge bathrooms with double Grecian marble sinks and TVs. The management has assembled a refreshingly unpretentious, service-oriented staff who seem genuinely bent on guest comfort, and the best original touches have been retained, like butler service at the touch of a button. Many rooms feature private patios, Jacuzzi tubs, kitchens, and/or dining rooms. The 21 bungalows are more luxurious than ever, and the lush, tropical-like grounds are brimming with exotic trees and flowers that emit divine aromas. Even the outdoor pathways are carpeted, to keep noise to a minimum. Tip: The inexpensive and informal Fountain Coffee Shop, open daily for 7am to 7pm, is a great excuse to visit the hotel for an hour, and you never know who might be sitting on the stool next to you slurping down a chocolate malt.Facilities: 3 restaurants (Polo Lounge, Fountain Coffee Shop, alfresco Cabana Club Cafe); 2 lounges (Sunset Lounge for high tea and cocktails, bar in Polo Lounge); Olympic-size outdoor heated pool; 2 outdoor tennis courts (lit for night play); fitness center; whirlpool; concierge; car-rental desk; courtesy limo; business center w/computers; salon services; 24-hr. room service; in-room or poolside massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry-cleaning service; video rentals.
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.
Days Inn Hollywood/Universal Studios
While it's east of the prime Sunset Strip action, this freshly renovated motel is safe and convenient, and extras like free underground parking and continental breakfast make it an especially good value. Double/doubles are large enough for families. Some rooms have microwaves, fridges, and coffeemakers; if yours doesn't have a hair dryer or an iron, they're available at the front desk. It's usually easy to snare an under-$100 rate; for maximum bang for your buck, ask for a room overlooking the pool.
