During your Los Angeles vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Paramount Pictures
Paramount is the only major studio still located in Hollywood, which makes the 2-hour cart tour around its Hollywood headquarters far more historically enriching than the modern studios in Burbank (even the wrought-iron gates Gloria Swanson motored through in Sunset Boulevard are still there) The tour is both a historical ode to filmmaking and a real-life, behind-the-scenes look at a working movie and television facilities in day-to-day operation; ergo, no two tours are alike, and chances of spotting a celebrity are pretty good. Visits typically include a walk-through of the soundstages of TV shows or feature films, though you can't enter while taping is taking place. The $35 tours (by advance reservations only) depart Monday through Friday on a first-come, first-served basis at10am, 11am, 1pm, and 2pm. You need to be at 12 or older to take the tour, and cameras and recording equipment are verboten. Tip: After the tour, have lunch at the Paramount Studio?s world-famous Commissary; you never know who might drop in for a bite, and the food?s pretty darn good.
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.
Museum of Television and Radio
Want to see the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show (1964), or Edward R. Murrow's examination of Joseph McCarthy (1954), or Arnold Palmer's victory in the 1958 Masters Tournament, or listen to radio excerpts like FDR's first "Fireside Chat" (1933) and Orson Welles's famous War of the Worlds UFO hoax (1938)? All these, plus a gazillion episodes of The Twilight Zone, I Love Lucy, and other beloved series (including numerous pilots never aired on national television), can be viewed within the starkly white walls of architect Richard Meier's neutral, contemporary museum building. Like the ritzy Beverly Hills shopping district that surrounds it, the museum is more flash than substance. Once you gawk at the celebrity and industry-honcho names adorning every hall, room, and miscellaneous area, it becomes quickly apparent that "library" would be a more fitting name for this collection, since the main attractions are requested via sophisticated computer catalogs and viewed in private consoles. Although no one sets out to spend a vacation watching TV, it can be tempting once you start browsing the archives. This West Coast branch of the venerable New York facility succeeds in treating our favorite pastime as a legitimate art form.
The Standard
If Andy Warhol had gone into the hotel business (which he no doubt would have, if he had arrived on the scene a few decades later), the Standard would've been the end result. Designed to appeal to the under-35 "it" crowd, Andre Balazs's swank West Hollywood neomotel is sometimes absurd, sometimes brilliant, and always provocative (not to mention crowded!). It's a scene worthy of its Sunset Strip location: Shag carpeting on the lobby ceiling, blue Astroturf around the swimming pool, a DJ spinning ambient sounds while a performance artist showing more skin than talent poses in a display case behind the check-in desk -- this place is definitely left of center.The good news is that the Standard is more than just an attitude. Look past the retro clutter and often-raucous party scene, and you'll find a level of service more often associated with hotels costing twice as much. Constructed from the bones of a vintage 1962 motel, it boasts comfortably sized rooms outfitted with cobalt blue indoor-outdoor carpeting, silver beanbag chairs, safety-orange tiles in the bathrooms, and Warhol's poppy-print curtains, plus private balconies, and minibars whose contents include goodies like sake, condoms, and animal crackers. On the downside, the cheapest rooms face noisy Sunset Boulevard, and the relentless scene can get tiring if you're not into it. The Standard's trendy new full-service NestSpa offers so-L.A.-style treatments such as Touch Thyself, Jet Lag Therapy, and Hangover Helper.Note: A 12-story Downtown Standard, 550 S. Flower St. (tel. 213/892-8080), opened in mid-2002, brings a similar dose of retro-future style and cool attitude to Downtown. The Cheap Rooms -- yes, that's what they call them -- run about $100 on weekends. It's worth visiting just to check out the rooftop bar with its vibrating waterbed pleasure pods, movies projected onto neighboring buildings, and hot waitresses.
Channel Road Inn
The innkeeper has used her eye for design to outfit this beautiful colonial revival house in gracious period style. The individually appointed rooms range from "shabby chic" to antique, and all have top-quality textiles and linens, VCRs, and spacious, nicely renovated bathrooms. Some have four-poster beds covered with hand-sewn Amish quilts; others have fireplaces, and others feature whirlpool tubs. Don't expect much from the promise of an ocean view, however; you'll overlook a busy street, wires, and rooftops for your sliver of blue. The outdoor areas include a quiet rose garden and private hillside hot tub on the upper lawn. Dominated by an impressive Batch elder tile fireplace, the impeccably decorated living room makes an ideal place to curl up with a book. If you'd rather head outside, the staff will provide bicycles, beach chairs, and towels for your use. I prefer Channel Road's sister property, the Inn at Playa del Rey; still, this is a beautiful, comfortable, and well-run B&B in a terrific location for beach lovers.
Roosevelt Hotel, Hollywood
This 12-story Hollywood landmark is located on an unabashedly touristy but no longer seedy section of Hollywood Boulevard -- across from Grauman's Chinese Theatre and along the Walk of Fame. Host to the first Academy Awards in 1929 -- not to mention a few famous-name ghosts -- this national landmark is Hollywood's only historic hotel still in operation today. It celebrated its 75th anniversary with a $15 million renovation that has harmoniously melded the Roosevelt's historical highlights with modern hotel luxuries. Much of the 1927 Spanish-influenced sunken lobby remains the same -- the hand-crafted columns and dramatic arches are magnificent -- but the guest rooms have been completely -- and tastefully -- renovated with colorful extralarge bathrooms, dark-wood platform beds with luxurious Frette linens, and all the latest high-tech accessories. Rooms on the upper floors have unbeatable skyline views, while cabana rooms have a balcony or patio overlooking the Olympic-size pool, whose mural was originally painted by David Hockney. Theodore's Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, and the poolside Tropicana Bar is your new best friend, offering refreshing cocktails and great brick-oven pizzas. Also here is Feinstein's at the Cinegrill, a cool, dark, tier-leveled supper club hosted by celebrity performer Michael Feinstein. Tip: Request the Steven Spielberg room on the ninth floor -- the view of Hollywood Boulevard is fantastic.Facilities: Asian-fusion restaurant; cocktail lounge; Feinstein's at the Cinegrill cabaret and nightclub; outdoor pool and Jacuzzi; spa and fitness center; concierge; activities desk; room service (6am-11pm); babysitting; laundry service; dry-cleaning service; executive-level rooms.
