TRAVEL PROMOTIONAL SERIES Southern California’s most populated city, Los Angeles is a multicultural metropolis that weaves sun, sand, surf, stars and society with seamless aplomb. The City of Angels is known as the entertainment capital of the world for Hollywood’s storied history of film, TV, music and literature, but its significant arts and cultural scene, marvelous shopping and dining choices, and thriving beach society mark it as one of those “it” destinations that shouldn’t be missed.

Carnivore’s delights such as Buffalo-style pig tails and poutine with oxtail gravy brand Animal as an essential L.A. eatery. Sip Head to The Rooftop at The Standard, Downtown L.A. for stunning panoramic views of the city, a heated swimming pool with waterbed cabanas and the recently added Biergarten, set among the hotel’s famous sculptured garden.
