During your Los Angeles vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
L.A. Central Library
This is one of L.A.'s early architectural achievements and the third-largest library in the United States. The city rallied to save the library when arson nearly destroyed it in 1986; the triumphant restoration has returned much of its original splendor. Working in the early 1920s, architect Bertram G. Goodhue employed the Egyptian motifs and materials popularized by the discovery of King Tut's tomb, and combined them with a more modern use of concrete block to great effect. Walking tours are the best way to explore this old beauty; they're led Monday through Friday at 12:30pm, Saturday at 11am and 2pm, and Sunday at 2pm. Warning: Parking in this area can involve a heroic effort. Try visiting on the weekend and using the Flower Street parking entrance; the library will validate your ticket, and you can escape for only $2.
Pacific Design Center
The bold architecture and overwhelming scale of the Pacific Design Center, designed by Argentinean architect Cesar Pelli, aroused controversy when it was erected in 1975. Sheathed in gently curving cobalt-blue glass, the seven-story building houses more than 750,000 square feet of wholesale interior-design showrooms and is known to locals as "the blue whale." When the property for the design center was acquired in the 1970s, almost all of the small businesses that lined this stretch of Melrose Avenue were demolished. Only Hugo's Plating, which still stands in front of the center, successfully resisted the wrecking ball. In 1988, a second boxlike structure, dressed in equally dramatic Kelly green, was added to the design center and surrounded by a protected outdoor plaza.
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.
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.
Bissell House Bed & Breakfast
If you enjoy the true B&B experience, you'll love the Bissell House. Hidden behind hedges that carefully isolate it from busy Orange Grove Avenue, this antiques-filled 1887 gingerbread Victorian -- the former home of the vacuum heiress and now owned by hosts Russell and Leonore Butcher -- offers a unique taste of life on what was once Pasadena's "Millionaire's Row." Outfitted in a traditional chintz-and-cabbage-roses style, all individually decorated rooms have private bathrooms (one with an antique claw-foot, one with a whirlpool tub, two with showers only), individual heating and air-conditioning (a B&B rarity), Internet access, and very comfortable beds. If you don't mind stairs, request one of the more spacious top-floor rooms. The modern world doesn't interfere with the mood in these romantic sanctuaries, but the downstairs library features a TV with VCR and a telephone/fax machine for guests' use. The beautifully landscaped grounds boast an inviting pool, Jacuzzi, and deck with lounge chairs. Included in the room rate is an elaborately prepared breakfast served in the large dining room, as well as an afternoon tea, cookie, and wine service.
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.
