Itinerary

Day 1 Los Angeles

The city of Los Angeles, also known as the "City of Angels" or simply L.A., is the largest city in California. Located on a broad basin in Southern California, it's surrounded by vast mountain ranges, deep valleys, forests, desert and miles of coastline on the Pacific Ocean. Los Angeles is an important center of culture, business, media, and international trade, but is most famous for being the center of the world's entertainment industry, which forms the base of its global status. Historically, the downtown fell into disrepair, however, in recent years, the area has seen a booming revival, with trendy hotels, bars, shops and restaurants opening to make it a place to be again. Hollywood is home to the film studios and entertainment theme parks.

Take a private airport transfer in Los Angeles with a private vehicle and driver.

You will be provided with a pre-departure package which will include all necessary information that you will need for your trip including materials such as vouchers, maps, train tickets (if relevant) etc.

You will have the freedom to explore the best LA has to offer with your private car and driver at your disposal.

Start with a 60 minutes flight in the amazing AStar Eurocopter from where you’ll see it all! Downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, the coastlines of Santa Monica, and so much more -- even a comprehensive and breathtaking tour of their quintessential beach town, Malibu! You’ll see the hillside mansions and oceanfront estates of the stars in a way that few others ever will! Continue with a ride in their luxury conversion van, exploring and visiting many of the same locations you viewed from the air! You`ll see world famous Hollywood sign (up close and personal of course!), the movie stars’ hand and footprints in cement at the historic and legendary Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, the beautifully landscaped, spectacular homes of your favorite celebrities in Beverly Hills and Bel-Air, the breathtaking southern California beaches and coastline…and so much more!

Experience a bold new Mondrian in the heart of West Hollywood, rejuvenated by Benjamin Noriega Ortiz. This new incarnation of one of the original luxury boutique hotels draws its inspiration from the serene coastal landscapes of Southern California and captures everything the Sunset Strip stands for – excitement, invincibility and glamour. Entering Mondrian through its signature, thirty-foot mahogany doors, guests are bathed in a sensuous daylight that highlights the creamy whites and warm marigold palette of the entryway. Progressing into the lobby, the sun sets. Day becomes night and reality becomes fantasy as Noriega-Ortiz invites the imagination down the proverbial rabbit hole. Deep blues and purples surround the space, complimented by custom-designed furniture, including a Lucite indoor swing and a mushroom-inspired concierge center.

Overnight at Mondrian Los Angeles.

Day 2 Los Angeles

You will have the freedom to explore the best LA has to offer with your private car and driver at your disposal.

Hollywood Boulevard is the stuff of legends, but it may not be what you expect. You won't find movie stars walking the streets, and most of the movie studios moved out years ago, and frankly, this part of Hollywood is one of the most touristy spots in all of Los Angeles. It's also the home of the Walk of Fame, footprints at Grauman's Chinese Theatre and Hollywood at Highland shopping/dining complex. Spend the afternoon shopping for souvenirs, then have dinner at one of the many restaurants at the Hollywood and HIghland complex.

When the sun sets in the City of Angels, the stars come out to play! After meeting your personal guide in the lobby of your hotel, a night ride will take you through West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip and glittering Beverly Hills to experience the exciting Los Angeles nightlife!

Enjoy exclusive access to Elton John’s Oscar Viewing Dinner & Party. This is a true A-List event and one of the hottest tickets in Hollywood. Sean Penn, Evangeline Lily, Sharon Stone, Mary J. Blige, Simon Cowell, Josh Groban and many more made appearances at the 2011 event. Come dressed to the nines, and mingle with the stars. Don’t miss out!

Sleep in this morning and relax at your hotel.

Explore L.A. on any of these optional tours: Discover the Farmer's Market and West Third Street on the L.A. Food Tasting Walking Tour where you will enjoy food tastings from a diverse array of cuisines. The Car may be King in L.A., but the best way to discover the city like a local is by foot. There are a number of walking tours available, whether it's the Behind The Scenes Hollywood Tour, Historic Downtown L.A., Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, or the Contemporary Downtown L.A., you will feel like you've really seen L.A.! Love architecture? Try the Architecture Tour of Hollywood or Architecture Tour of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. Private tours are also available: the Getty Center and Rodeo Drive blends culture and glamour with a private tour of the Getty Center Museum and then shopping on Rodeo Drive, or try the Studio Tour and Santa Monica Shopping Tour, which includes a private movie studio tour and a shopping tour of Santa Monica! Please let your Sales Advisor know if you are interested in any of these options.
