Los Angeles has always been a crucible for new ideas in the arts, design and lifestyle, and with one third of California’s population living in the metropolitan area’s 4,850 square miles (and speaking 220 languages, from Khmer to Russian), this sprawling, glamorous, change-obsessed place is something to behold.
Work with Indagare to design the perfect itinerary for an immersive journey. Our travel experts know the destination inside and out, and they can make recommendations based on your travel needs and preferences.
Indagare experts can pair you with the perfect L.A. hotels and dining options to best experience the food scene. Here is just one example of what our destination specialists can create for you.
In the morning, those looking for cultural immersion will love the modern art collections at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the UCLA Armand Hammer Museum in Westwood. Later, head to Hollywood. It’s certainly touristy, but it’s still fun to check out the famous Chinese Mann theater and the Avenue of the Stars. Be sure to visit the gorgeous Walt Disney Concert Hall before enjoying dinner at a chic L.A. establishment.
Start your day with a visit to the Getty Center, a stunning hilltop complex featuring a sublime art collection, where Indagare can arrange a guided tour with an art curator. Then, spend a leisurely afternoon in Santa Monica, strolling along the iconic pier and sipping cocktails at a waterfront hot spot. Sun-worshipers looking to relax should head to the beaches in Malibu.
For a taste of Beverly Hills, walk down Rodeo Drive or other shopping streets like West Third and Melrose. Then, visit the Brentwood Country Mart, home to a curated selection of boutiques. In the afternoon, families with children can visit an actual film set on a backlot tour of Universal Studios or Warner Brothers. For active travelers, Indagare can arrange a guided hike through iconic destinations such as the Hollywood Hills, Griffith Park and Temescal Canyon.
We only feature hotels that we can vouch for first-hand. At many of them, Indagare members receive special amenities, including upgrades, early check-in, breakfast, spa credits and more. Look for the Indagare Plus logo in the reviews.
