West Hollywood, California

West Hollywood is home to the legendary Sunset Strip, European-style alfresco dining, world-class boutiques and intimate hideaways. West Hollywood's 1.9 square miles encapsulate the best of all Los Angeles has to offer. Nestled between Beverly Hills, downtown Los Angeles and tile Santa Monica Mountains, the "Creative City" is at the heart of Southern California glamour.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
Equidistant from both the beaches and downtown LA, West Hollywood is a paradise. Whether your plans include a trip to Universal Studios, a Dodgers game, or a waterfront stroll. WeHo (as the locals say) is ideally situated for both exploring by car and meandering on foot, West Hollywood's most famous thoroughfares, the glittering Sunset Strip, trendy Melrose Avenue, and the always-happening Santa Monica Boulevard are all uniquely pedestrian-friendly. Have a cappuccino at star-studded Sunset Plaza, home of exclusive boutiques and prime people-watching cafes and bistros. Don't forget your sunglasses.

Once the sun sets, the Strip is transformed into a night owl's nirvana, with some of the nation's hottest clubs featuring live performances by both emerging and established acts. "The Creative City" is ground-zero for those with an appreciation for art, design and architecture. On the Avenues of Art & Design, visitors and locals alike browse world-class shops for the finest in fabrics, flooring and both traditional and contemporary home furnishings.

Not to be missed is the 1.2 million square-foot Pacific Design Center, which includes the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) West. West Hollywood's design district, concentrated on Melrose, Beverly and Robertson, also boasts more than 30 art galleries catering to an international clientele with a passion for original art and sculpture. Just east on Melrose, on Kings Road is the architectural landmark Schindler House designed by architect R.M. Schindler and now home to the MAK Center where exhibitions of art and architecture are displayed in this model of Modernist design.
