All the culture of the city, all the fun of the beach: why would you want to go on holiday anywhere else? If it’s good enough for Hollywood’s finest stars, then it’s good enough for us. We love LA, and we want you to love it, too. We can help you plan and book your perfect LA holiday.
Take in the latest art exhibition at The Broad, hunt down the best stores on Rodeo Drive, or check out the celebrity handprints on Hollywood Boulevard. Don’t miss Disneyland® Resort – and if you’re going down the whole theme park route, try Knott’s Berry Farm and Universal Studios, too – where film buffs can see museum-worthy props and their kids can go crazy on the rides.
If Los Angeles is just the starting point and you’ve got a big trip planned, with multiple cities – you can book that with us too – just use our multi-centre trip planner. If you’re staying in LA, that’s ok, too. But we wouldn’t want you to go without knowing about the best bits of the city – our travel guide is full of tips and videos. Start getting ready for your amazing holiday in Los Angeles.

A good holiday starts when you book the right hotel: browse below for our best holiday options. We’ve done the legwork for you and found our best hotels in Los Angeles, in all the essential areas. Grafton On Sunset is a boutique three-star on the famous boulevard in West Hollywood. The beautiful five-star Waldorf Astoria suits its Beverley Hills location, as does the famous Beverly Hilton, which has stood here for over 50 years. If you’d rather spot dolphins than celebrities, then head to the coast. Los Angeles has miles and miles of beaches to its name, and the Shore Hotel Santa Monica is just steps from Santa Monica’s famous pier. Then you might want to add a couple of days at Disneyland® Resort onto your trip: the massive, well-equipped Hilton Anaheim is family-friendly, and walking distance from the parks.
Accommodation in the swankier districts of LA can really flex your credit card, but with a little bit of research you can find some great affordable places to stay – from beachside hideaways, to a more urban experience, minutes away from great shopping, art galleries and restaurants.
Budget won’t stretch to five stars but still want a taste of luxury? We have plenty of four-star hotels in LA to choose from, from beside the sea to in the heart of the city, with great restaurants attached and facilities to please any holidaymaker. Hotel Indigo is a great example of the growing number of stylish hotels found in Los Angeles Downtown.
Make your holiday extra fabulous with our collection of five-star luxury hotels. Whether you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind experience, state-of-the-art facilities or the location of a lifetime, we only bring you the best of the best – so that your stay in LA is one to remember. Hotel Viceroy Santa Monica has just the kind of beachfront poolside glamour you’ve been looking for.

Unlike many other cities, Los Angeles doesn’t have a centre as such. Instead, it’s made up of many different neighbourhoods, each one with something unique to offer.
WeHo is right in the heart of LA – within easy reach of many of its sights. The Design District and the MAK Center for Art and Architecture are both in the area, and you could drive just north of here to reach Runyon Canyon park – the place where locals like to hike. Cruise down Santa Monica Boulevard and Sunset Strip – once home to the area’s most famous clubs and bars – and book into Grafton On Sunset, a good-value boutique hotel with a pool.
Restaurants with farm-to-table menus and ‘avo’ toast, a pier with an illuminated, solar-powered Ferris wheel, and a relaxed pace of life: staying in Santa Monica, right on the beach, is close to idyllic. The area prides itself on being less car-choked and a little more eco-conscious than the rest of LA. There are plenty of bike paths, so you can breeze straight down from Ocean Avenue to the pier, then all the way down to Muscle Beach and Venice Beach beyond. The beaches here are busy, but big, sandy and beautiful, with crashing Pacific surf.
Downtown isn’t just for business travellers. The Walt Disney Concert Hall, designed by LA-native Frank Gehry, is the home to the LA Philharmonic, but it’s no longer the only eye-catching building in the area. The Broad, a contemporary art gallery, opened here in 2015, and there’s also the FIDM fashion museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art. Stay at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown so you can stay out and experience the Downtown nightlife.
Even the zip code is famous: 90210, Beverly Hills – like Bel-Air and Brentwood – is one of the expensive areas of Los Angeles Westside. Street names here will be familiar from films, songs and musicals: like Rodeo Drive, the swanky shopping strip that famously featured in Pretty Women. You aren’t far from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, one of the west coast’s biggest art galleries. If you want to stay here, try the Beverly Hilton, one of the area’s most iconic hotels.
An entertainment district like no other, Hollywood has a mixed reputation. It’s exciting and busy – but you’ll need to stay on your toes to avoid getting enticed into any tourist traps. Hollywood Boulevard has the Walk of Fame, and celebrity signatures are immortalised in cement outside the Chinese Theatre. If you’re a film nut, go see the film props and fast rides at the famous Universal Studios. Above it all, nine white letters, almost 14 metres tall, shine from Mount Lee: the immortal Hollywood sign.
A perfect mixture of hip and easy-going, seek out the Los Feliz neighbourhood if you’re after a lively, community feel. Expect old-school dive bars, restaurants to suit every budget, a single-screen cinema where films are still shown on the reel, Frank Lloyd Wright-designed constructions and Griffith Park on your doorstep (great for good views of the Hollywood sign). It’s a winner with younger visitors.
There’s one massive, mouse-shaped reason you’d visit Anaheim: Disneyland® Resort. The city is dominated by the resort and its surrounding expanse of family-friendly hotels. Kids will love it here. There are two parks: Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, and a heap of magical activities.
