5 Star Hike
Yes, there are many musts when visiting the City of Angels but a quick checklist of our favorite picks:
Take a helicopter tour to capture the HOLLYWOOD sign in all its glory, downtown, and over to the incredible LA beach cities and Malibu breathtaking variable coastline.
Stay at the all-new Waldorf Beverly Hills, The Peninsula BH, Sunset Tower, or Montage Beverly Hills.
Hire a driver to take you around to the sites and avoid the lines and chaos. Choose and have your driver take you to all of the premium shopping and great cafes on Robertson, Melrose Ave (west portion), Rodeo, Century City, and Abbot Kinney in Venice – your concierge at the fine hotels listed will provide some recommendations of best shops with current collections and personal shoppers.
Dinner is a must for our readers at the ultra-exclusive Sunset Tower restaurant, Craig’s Restaurant, or Spago Beverly Hills where, if you’re lucky, you may even have Wolfgang Puck come by your table to say hi if you are having lunch there during the week.
Cocktails! If you or someone you are visiting or traveling with is a Soho House member, a cocktail at the exclusive West Hollywood location is a must while “backup plan” for fun drinks include Chateau Marmont and the back outside bar Pump Restaurant.
All these are “must dos” but note a personal favorite for all of you “actives” is taking in a 5 Star Hike. I happen to be a local in LA, and it’s a regular daily activity for Angelenos to take to the trails. Favorites include Runyon Canyon or one up in my neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills that takes you into Griffith Park up behind the actual HOLLYWOOD sign. Either hike mentioned offers sweeping beautiful views from downtown and beyond and over to the Pacific Ocean.
Enjoy.
