A Guide To LA

Whilst on location in Los Angeles for our latest campaign shoot, our team picked up some tips on what to see, where to eat and where to shop.

WHERE TO STAY

01. CHAMBERLAIN, WEST HOLLYWOOD
In the heart of West Hollywood, this hotel is close to all the shopping, eating and drinking hotspots along Sunset Boulevard and Melrose Avenue. And when you're looking for some downtime, the rooftop terrace and pool will be your lounging go-to.

02. SHUTTERS ON THE BEACH, SANTA MONICA
Looking for somewhere by the ocean? Stay at this divine retreat and embrace all that the seaside lifestyle has to offer. Right on the sand and water, this hotel is minutes from the famous Santa Monica pier.

03. PETIT ERMITAGE, WEST HOLLYWOOD
This boutique hotel is equal parts enchanting, quirky and unique with quite possibly the best rooftop pool in Weho. For somewhere a bit more laidback in the ideal LA location, Petit won't disappoint.

04. THE MAYBOURNE, BEVERLY HILLS
If you're travelling for an extra special occasion, treat yourself to a few nights here, just steps away from Rodeo Drive. This five-star hotel is divine from head to toe with its old school charm and meticulous luxury. It is also home to Dante – the legendary NYC restaurant.

WHAT TO DO

01. A VISIT TO STAHL HOUSE
For the most breathtaking views of Los Angeles, book in a tour at Stahl House. Designed by architect Pierre Koenig and built in 1959, the iconic Stahl House sits at the top of the Hollywood Hills. A once in a lifetime visit, you'll be pretending even just for a moment that you live in this extraordinary house.

02. SHOPPING ABBOTT KINNEY IN VENICE
Spend a day walking Abbott Kinney. It's a mile long strip of boutiques, galleries, bars and restaurants parallel to Venice Beach. Start on the east end at Erewhon for a smoothie, treat yourself to some of the best shopping LA has to offer, and finish the day at Atla for some margaritas and quesadillas.

03. GO TO A COMEDY SHOW ON SUNSET STRIP
Laugh Factory is one of the most renowned comedy clubs in the world and we couldn’t agree more. An intimate venue that delivers laugh out loud stand-ups. Hot tip: Try to go to a weeknight show as weekends tend to get overbooked.

WHERE TO DINE

01. EREWHON
A haven of all things health and wellness, you can't go to LA without trying a smoothie from here. Hot tip: The Hailey Bieber Strawberry Glaze Smoothie is 10/10 and 100% worth the craze.

02. SUGARFISH, BEVERLY HILLS
Possibly the most deliciously fresh sushi we've ever tasted. Hot tip: It's a busy spot so pop your name down and enjoy a stroll towards Rodeo Drive whilst waiting for your table.

03. CECCONI'S, WEST HOLLYWOOD
If you're looking for somewhere charming with a fun ambiance and handmade pasta, this spot's for you. Hot tip: Book a table outdoors and dine alfresco in their beautiful courtyard.

04. FUNKE, BEVERLY HILLS
Another Italian must is Funke. Book here for a divine culinary experience, or you can head straight up to the rooftop bar to enjoy an aperitivo. You may also be lucky enough to spot a celebrity!

05. IN N OUT
We couldn’t forget about In-N-Out. An absolute must whilst you're in LA. We made a detour on the way to the airport because we just needed our last fix. Hot Tip: Order the animal fries alongside your burger of choice -french fries loaded with melted cheese, caramelised onions and the secret In-N-Out sauce.

Laugh Factory is one of the most renowned comedy clubs in the world and we couldn't agree more. An intimate venue that deserves laugh out loud stand ups.

WHERE TO ENJOY A COCKTAIL

01. EP & LP, WEST HOLLYWOOD
Come here for the most iconic view of the hills, delicious cocktails and even better vibes.

02. BELLE'S BEACH HOUSE, VENICE
Belle's is a must if you're heading for a night out. Located just by the beach and close to the Venice Sign, this bar feels like you've just stepped in Hawaii for the night.

03. CARA CARA, DOWNTOWN
For a view of the LA skyline, stop off at The Proper Hotel's rooftop bar Cara Cara. Upscale but still casual, this is the perfect place for a sunset session.
