LOS ANGELES
Los Angeles is a collection of vibrant neighborhoods, each one a destination in itself.
Stunning beaches and picturesque mountains, beautiful weather and an array
of outdoor activities entertain, energize and inspire groups of all sizes. James
Beard and Michelin Star award-winning restaurants and endless food trucks
make L.A. the most exciting food city, according to Zagat. Shopping options
are limitless among an eclectic mix of shopping districts, retail stores, haute
couture outposts and boutiques. Los Angeles has emerged as a leading arts
destination, whether it’s street art, contemporary art at
The Broad or sprawling events at The Getty.
Expansive luxury accommodations span the glittering coast from Malibu to
Rancho Palos Verdes and inland, all the way to Pasadena. Groups can get up
close and personal with Hollywood through a range of red carpet experiences,
from Award Season to the regular line-up of film premieres. Scoring VIP seats
to the hottest sporting events and concerts—
surrounded by celebs—is a classic only-in-L.A. experience.
Los Angeles offers endless entertainment, vibrant cultural diversity
and exclusive experiences for the most discerning groups.
