Always one of the biggest questions for someone coming to our city is about lodging at Los Angeles area hotels and where to stay. There’s no easy answer, but looking at maps prior to your visit can certainly help in the decision making process. We remind visitors that Los Angeles is a gigantic city. On top of that, there are many cities within the city. They include places like Santa Monica, Malibu and West Hollywood. Downtown Los Angeles is growing in their many offerings with food and culture. Here, you’ll be close to the convention center, Grand Park, Union Station, L.A. Live and The Staples Center. A few hotels in this area include The Intercontinental, Nomad Hotel, and The Ace Hotel.
CicLAvia Meet The Hollywoods
August 10, 2019
Los Angeles is incredible with its hustle and bustle. While this is great for pumping out entertainment, often times the traffic it brings is not. Try driving around anytime between 7 to 9 in the morning and 5 to 7 in the evening. It gets crazy but you can’t beat the city so we all seem to put up with it. While Metro stations are popping up and being built to hopefully improve the traffic flow, they are doing some great events for the community in the meantime, and on August 18th you can enjoy one! CivLAvia is an event in partnership with Metro that gets the cars off the streets and people walking around exploring. CivLAvia Meet The Hollywoods

Where Are The Fires in California?
November 18, 2018
First, thank you to the dozens of past guests, and the domestic and international travel agents that have reached out to check on our safety during the fires. Fortunately, we are safe, and our heart goes out to those in the affected areas. No major fires have hit the general Hollywood or Beverly Hills areas. When one sees the news, it can look like the whole state is up in flames. This time of year is typically fire season in California. It’s when the brush in the hills and mountains are at their driest, and when the Santa Ana winds can kick up. In fact, last year at about this same time (and into December) California had the Skirball Fire,

CELEBRITY HOMES TOURS AND SIGHTINGS IN BEVERLY HILLS AND HOLLYWOOD _______________________________________ When traveling to different cities and countries, everyone has their own personal bucket list to check off. In Italy, it may be the canals of Venice, that leaning tower in Pisa, the statue of David, the Coliseum, or dining on great pizza and wine…among 1000’s of other amazing experiences and venues throughout the country. We’re in Los Angeles, and so much of what we do focuses around the celebrity history that helped build our city. It could be the legendary studios where they worked, the homes where they lived, the places they frequent for partying and dining, the locations they died, and ultimately—the places where they are laid to rest.
Healthy Hollywood Summer Treats
July 10, 2018
We live in the age of dietary restrictions. Whether you are battling an intolerance, trying to fix your “leaky gut,” or just trying to step up your health game, it can be hard to find a dessert that is cool, sweet, and good for the entire family. Luckily for Angelenos, our city is filled with innovative foodies that are finding ways to make cool treats and healthy eats that actually taste good! This past week I had a few friends in town who have some pretty crazy dietary restrictions. Between my Celiac, her lactose intolerance / FODMAP, and his SIBO diet, it was hard to find something we could all enjoy together. Cut to an unexpected find as we were
