Los Angeles is everything you’ve seen in the movies, but then magnified, stretched and glitzified many times over. Everyone has their own tick list of essential LA viewings. Take your pick from Hollywood, funky Venice Beach, the exclusive boutiques on Rodeo Drive, the homes of the movie stars in Beverly Hills and their beach retreats in Malibu, the museums on Miracle Mile, the one-of-a-kind boutiques in Melrose, the classical antiquities housed in J Paul Getty’s old villa as well as his collection of art in the Getty Museum, the nightlife on Sunset Strip, Universal Studios and Disneyland.

For a quick stopover enroute to Australia, New Zealand or Canada we’d suggest a couple of nights in Santa Monica where we offer a number of hotels so please do ask our consultants for a price if you have one in mind. For this package we have suggested the Viceroy in Santa Monica which is a luxury beach hotel that combines classic sophistication and contemporary chic and brings cosmopolitan approach to a relaxed coastal atmosphere.

Viceroy offers 162 meticulously appointed guestrooms and suites, each with either ocean, city or pool views, two full size beds or one king size bed, fine linen, sitting area and marble bathrooms.

Enjoy a unique meal in a formal dining room - famous for its stunning vintage and modern furnishings, or at a poolside table or private cabana.
