Los Angeles is one of the world's premiere cities. It cultural diversity is a broad as its accomodation options.

As Los angeles is a large and flat city, you should research your trip prior to departure, so you can select accomodation within your price range and that is close to everything you want to see. We thought that a good place to start would be West Hollywood, the "known" gay area, but unlike Sydney in Australia, it is not such a "defined" golden mile... rather gay Los Angeles is spread throughout all its districts.

Los Angeles has many wonderful establishments, and if your keen on seeing the movie industry whilst living in the lap of luxury, then you cant go past the Park Hyatt Los Angeles in Century City - right next to Fox and 20th Century sound stages, you can see movies being made from your balcony, or from their lucious and very relaxing day spa "Kara". You can see a write up about Kara in our health and beauty section!

The Park Hyatt is vip treatment and five star fantasy at its best, from the luscious suites, to the Mercedes Benz Town Car and driver... you can be dropped to Rodeo drive anytime for that much need dose of shopping! Facilities galore fill this establishment, including top restaurants and a killer room service team. The suites range in size, but all are quite economical for an establishment so grand... check out the listing for the Park Hyatt below to see your options for getting a pad during your trip to LA.

If you want to be in the heart of West Hollywood then there are numerous gay establishments for all budgets, we will be nringing reviews and listings for these over the coming months... but if you want to experience real LA, then head on down to Venice Beach and Santa Monica for a taste of life in the sunny side of America...

Marina Del Ray is only a $15 cab ride from LAX, 20 mins from the centre of LA (depending on traffic) and right on the water front - a stones throw from Venice Beach (yes, all those muscle bodies) and Santa Monica (all that great shopping!) and a great place to stay in Marina Del Ray is the Best Western Jamaica Bay Inn, a quaint establishment that has beautiful grounds with rooms over looking the bay filled with yachts and white sails... its picturesque to say the least, the staff there are incedibly friendly and it has all the mod cons you would come to expect without the price tag - very affordable and a must do for this area of LA.
