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.

The Lounge at the Standard

The entertainment at this hotel hot spot includes performance art by a barely clothed beauty on view in a glass booth above the reception, and dancing.
The Madison

The cathedral ceiling and decor of a 1920s bank building provide an elegant backdrop for American fare. Try the perfect prime steaks.
The Nuart Theatre

One of Los Angeles’s finest independent theaters shows the kind of experimental and foreign fare that most multiplexes would avoid. The cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show still runs every Saturday.
The Peninsula

Antiques and artwork grace rooms, suites, and villas, all brimming with high-tech features, including wireless web access and satellite TV. A personal room valet attends to your every need.
The Ranney House (1907)

Mary Ranney worked as a draftsperson at the brothers’ firm and contributed many of the design ideas for this lovely shingled corner mansion.
The Raymond

One of Pasadena’s finest restaurants, this Craftsman-style cottage has a menu of American classics.
The Reef

Great views of the Long Beach skyline coupled with delicious fresh fish and seafood. The four-course Sunset Dinner special is a steal.
The Regent Beverly Wilshire

Overlooking Rodeo Drive, this dignified 1928 hotel has hosted royalty many times and featured prominently in the 1990 movie Pretty Woman . Luxurious extras include chauffeured car service within a radius of 3 miles (5 km).
The Rodeo Collection

A white marble outdoor shopping mall with five floors of fashion, interior design, and jewelry boutiques orbiting a sunken atrium courtyard with a fancy eatery.
The Roxy

Serious music fans love this no-nonsense club where the focus is on the show, not the decor or the crowd.
