DK Travel : Los Angeles

The myth, the velocity, the edginess in creative and technological fields – this is Los Angeles, where the multicultural future that awaits the rest of the country is already a firm reality. In little more than 200 years, LA has grown from a dusty Spanish outpost into one of the world’s largest and most complex cities offering top venues for everything from archaeology and the arts to food. The birthplace of Mickey Mouse and Hollywood, LA has shaped the imaginations of millions.

Luxe Hotel Sunset Boulevard

A lovely property with lush landscaping, this is conveniently located right next to Freeway 405. Spacious rooms in soothing colors feature extras such as DSL and fax machines.
L’Opera

A lofty ceiling supported by marble columns provides a wonderfully theatrical setting for tasty fettucine, frutti di mare , and veal scallopine .
Madame Matisse

Popular for breakfast, this bistro also turns out delicious French country classics for lunch and dinner. No beer or wine.
Maddalena Restaurant

This slice of Italy, ensconced in what was once the fermentation cellars of the San Antonio Winery, is a popular lunch spot.
Madonna & Child with a Book

Renaissance artist Raphael (1483–1520) was only 19 years old when he painted this work. It perfectly exemplifies his geometrically balanced compositions and ability to imbue his figures with spirituality and tenderness.
Magic Castle Hotel

Pennywise travelers love this hotel close to Hollywood action. Units vary in size but full kitchens help cut down on restaurant bills. Guests also enjoy access privileges to the Magic Club in a nearby mansion.
Main Street, Santa Monica

A laid-back yet sophisticated string of one-of-a-kind boutiques (with the occasional chain store thrown in for good measure), Main Street makes for a fun and eclectic shopping experience with plenty of cafés for people-watching. On Sundays, catch the farmers market (see Unique Main Street Boutiques).
Maison 140

An intimate B&B in the former villa of silent movie star Lillian Gish, Maison 140 cleverly fuses French and Asian design accents. Every room is different, but all feature patterned wallpaper and European antiques. The seductively lit Bar Noir is great for a nightcap. Excellent value for money, close to Rodeo Drive.
Malibu Adamson House & Malibu Lagoon Museum

Located on a bluff overlooking the Malibu Lagoon, this Spanish Colonial-style mansion was built by Rhoda Rindge Adamson and her husband, Merritt, in 1928. The complex showcases hand-painted ceramic tiles manufactured by Malibu Potteries, owned by the Rindge family. The Rindges also built the Malibu Colony, a celebrity enclave now home to Tom Hanks and Barbra Streisand. The Malibu Lagoon Museum next to the Adamson House chronicles Malibu’s history, from its Chumash Indian origins to its position as movie star Shangri-la.
