As an L.A. native and lifelong resident, I've always known this vibrant city beyond its superficial allure. It's much more than just a hub for the Hollywood glitterati; it's a melting pot of cultures, incredible landscapes, top-notch dining scenes, world-class museums, iconic hotels, and so much more.

Los Angeles is the global capital of entertnment, home to Academy Award ceremonies, the iconic Hollywood sign, and those parts of town where you're likely to spot celebrities at any given moment. Yet there's far more depth to our city than just that glittery facade.

The natural wonders here are stunning yet accessible-stretching from sandy beaches wider than anywhere else on Earth to dense woodlands that feel worlds away from the bustling urban heart, like Solstice Canyon or urban gems like Runyon Canyon where you might bump into celebrities doing their morning yoga routines.

Los Angeles is a melting pot of cultures from around 140 countries speaking over 224 languages. This diversity has enriched our local culinary scene with an array of cuisines ranging from street food delicacies to Michelin-starred fine dining establishments and the best Mexican food you can find.

From cutting-edge museums like the brand new Academy Museum, LACMA, La Brea Tar Pits in the Miracle Mile area, to exceptional hotels that pamper their guests or budget-frily options throughout this vast metropolitan area, LA offers something for everyone.
