SLEEP LOS ANGELES


California’s biggest city might overwhelm on a first encounter, but picking the right hotel in one of its many dynamic districts can offer a true taste of the City of Angels. Words: Julia Buckley


It has sugary-sand beaches, trail-lined canyons, celebs galore and world-class theme parks. However, Los Angeles’ vast size and notorious traffic oſten leave first-time visitors nonplussed. The key? Getting your location right. You can have the best hotel room in the world, but if it’s putting a two-hour, traffic-


snarled drive between you and your morning tour, you won’t be rushing back to LA in a hurry. West Hollywood is the place to be for quintessential Angeleno


nightlife, while the beaches are close to Highway 1 and the Getty Center, and for the theme parks you’ll want the San Fernando Valley. The most exciting area of all is, arguably, Downtown, where flash bars and restaurants are opening up in once-derelict warehouses. While LA can sometimes be hard to get a feel for, the


hotel scene does a great job of bringing the city’s themes together. From uber-lux boltholes to hippy hangouts, this is a city that’s crystallised in its hotels.
