Escape to a world of glamorous Nirvana with a distinct French verve next to such idyllic spots as the Rodeo Drive, Sunset Boulevard, and Melrose Avenue. Plus, there are heaps of places to visit in this recreational/cultural mecca. The arty crowd loves to flock to places like the Getty Center with its riveting architecture and serene gardens. The more playful populace, on the other hand, prefers the joy rides and frolic of the Los Angeles Disneyland. The moment you walk into Sofitel Los Angeles you will be engulfed by the slight asymmetry characteristic of Rococo art and the bold designs symbolic of the Art Deco style. Check into any guest room of this five star luxury hotel and the pleasing functionality combined with deep-felt aesthetics cannot fail to impress you. The Superior Double guestroom, for instance, radiates artistic chic even as it houses all the up-to-the-minute trappings including high speed internet, an MP3 radio alarm clock, a 32-inch LCD flat panel television set etc. Attached to your room is a luxury bathroom complete with a glass-enclosed shower and bath tub. There is also a hair-dryer in your bathroom as well as a magnifying mirror. A sense of easy cordiality pervades throughout the hotel. Walk into the glossy yet dimly-lit interiors of the luxury bar Stone Rose Lounge. Sip your cocktail in a delightful Franco-American setting next to candle-light simulated lamps with soft music playing in the background. Sample what are called ‘fusion delicacies’ at the Lounge or step into the famed Simon LA restaurant offering a range of mouth-watering fare under the expert guidance of its talented chef, Kerry Simon. Heavenly! Do not forget to check out the luxury resort spa of the Sofitel Los Angeles for an experience of real ecstatic bliss. Not only does it house a state-of-the-art fitness center but also a luxurious hammam in which you can soak and lose yourself to paradisiacal bliss. If you like swimming you would love the Sofitel outdoor heated swimming pool. The various body treatments, massages and sauna will have you coming back for more. If you feel like giving vent to your exploratory instinct walk up to the Rodeo Drive, the favorite haunt of film stars. A plethora of Christian Dior, Chanel, Armani and Gucci makes these labels appear common place and every day. Shopping at stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Pierre Deux could burn a huge hole in your pocket so you should be content with window shopping, not a bad enough activity in itself. Or, from your hotel turn into Melrose Avenue, another star shopping haven. Slightly cheaper than its statelier cousin it has great night clubs and unique stores selling old books and records, even Disney memorabilia, antiques and the like. You can sample tasty North American fare here in funky yet high-grade restaurants like Patina, Have A Nice Day, or Ago. The best way to explore Melrose Avenue is on foot so that you can get to savor and soak in its delicious ambience. There’s a lot more to do, of course, in LA. Why not discover for yourself?
