A grand hotel, an important university and exciting performing arts make these two neighbourhoods popular destinations on a Los Angeles travel itinerary.

The adjacent neighbourhoods of Bel Air and Westwood contain some of the most prestigious residences in the entire Los Angeles metropolis. Visit the UCLA campus and walk along Bel Air’s residential streets to peek through tall hedges at impressive mansions.

One of the area’s most popular spots is the Hotel Bel-Air, a luxury hotel that has hosted celebrities and other prominent figures since 1922. Pamper yourself with a stay in the lovely hotel with spa treatments and strolls through the landscaped gardens. If you’re staying elsewhere, enjoy a meal at the hotel’s gourmet restaurant or terrace café or cocktails and live entertainment in the bar and lounge. Stop in for afternoon tea between shopping trips to nearby Rodeo DriveOpens in a new window in Beverly HillsOpens in a new window.

Outside the city are less glitzy experiences. Photograph Stone Canyon Reservoir’s blue waters. Follow twisting roads to Getty View Park in the Santa Monica Mountains. At the Getty CentreOpens in a new window appreciate Richard Meier architecture and art from medieval to modern. The Central Garden is a piece of art itself.

Travel from Bel Air toward Westwood across Sunset Boulevard to the campus of University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in Westwood. Attend a play at the Geffen Playhouse, which frequently features well-known film and television stars and newly developed plays in their world premiere presentation. Find great entertainment options at the Centre for the Art of Performance at UCLA (CAP) ranging from Shakespeare’s plays to David Sedaris comedy, with jazz, dance and storytelling events throughout the year. See the UCLA Bruins play football at the Rose Bowl in nearby PasadenaOpens in a new window.

Shop in Westwood Village’s boutiques and larger chains stores. Dine at American favourites and varied international restaurants. The inspiring Hammer Museum’s art and performances are free.

From Westwood, drive less than 20 minutes to reach the beauty of the Pacific Ocean at the beaches of Santa MonicaOpens in a new window. Los Angeles International Airport is about 7 miles (18 kilometres) south of Westwood and 15 miles (24 kilometres) from Bel Air.

Great bed
"It was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. I had a great nights sleep, despite the noise outside. The second night I was more aware of the noise, although I’m not sure what it was. Seemed like there was all night construction but maybe it was just the freeway. Still, great bed!"
