Los Angeles

Creating an itinerary is a must when visiting Los Angeles because there’s so much distance to cover (and traffic). We know and help plan LA well because many people visiting Southern California road trip from there to San Diego.  What you want to do can determine where you’ll want to stay. Downtown Los Angeles, for instance, is the hub of sports in LA (you’ll find Dodger Stadium and the Crypto.com Center here), along with restaurants, performance venues, Little Tokyo, Chinatown, and great shopping. Hollywood is where you’ll find the Walk of Fame, the famous footprints at Grauman’s Chinese Theater, and lots of movie museums. Universal Studios Hollywood is nearby. Shoppers and families like the luxury hotels in Beverly Hills. But if you’re here for the beaches, make Santa Monica or Malibu your base. We have VIP benefits at hotels across Los Angeles County and plenty of advice for saving money on sightseeing.
