Luxury Holidays in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is not defined by a single centre. It is a collection of distinctive neighbourhoods, each offering a different atmosphere and way to experience the city. A well-planned holiday can combine Hollywood, contemporary art, exceptional dining, designer shopping and time beside the Pacific Ocean. Choosing the right hotel location is essential, as Beverly Hills, Downtown Los Angeles, Santa Monica and Malibu are separated by considerable distances.

Where to Stay in Los Angeles

Beverly Hills and Bel Air are ideal for luxury shopping, renowned restaurants and an elegant residential setting. Notable hotels include Beverly Wilshire, The Maybourne Beverly Hills, The Peninsula Beverly Hills, Hotel Bel-Air and The Beverly Hills Hotel.

Travellers who prefer to wake up beside the ocean can stay at Shutters on the Beach or Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica. For a longer visit, splitting the stay between Beverly Hills and the coast creates a more varied experience while reducing time spent travelling across the city.

Hollywood and the World of Film

Los Angeles offers much more than the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A film-focused itinerary may include a studio tour, Universal Studios Hollywood and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, followed by a theatre performance or a carefully selected screening. A drive through the Hollywood Hills provides views of the Hollywood Sign and the vast urban landscape below.

Art, Architecture and Dining

The Getty Center brings together art from the Middle Ages to the present, modern architecture, landscaped gardens and panoramic city views. Downtown highlights include Walt Disney Concert Hall, The Broad and the restaurants of the Arts District.

The city’s dining scene ranges from refined Beverly Hills restaurants to innovative Californian cuisine and excellent Mexican, Korean and Japanese establishments. Reservations should be arranged in advance for the most sought-after venues.

The Pacific Coast

Santa Monica offers oceanfront walks and an easy-going contrast to the city’s cultural programme. From here, the journey can continue through Pacific Palisades to Malibu for scenic beaches, coastal trails and lunch overlooking the Pacific.

Planning a Tailor-Made Journey

Los Angeles is a year-round destination. Spring and autumn are particularly comfortable for sightseeing, while summer is ideal for combining the city with the coast. A personal driver, confirmed restaurant reservations and daily routes organised by area make exploring significantly more comfortable. Yana Luxury Travel will arrange flights, carefully selected hotels and experiences tailored to the guests, length of stay and preferred pace of travel.
