By all accounts, Los Angeles is the preferred getaway destination for those in search of perpetual sunshine and the ultimate urban experience. LA has long been admired for its alluring beaches, sunshine and shopping. It offers a direct route to Hollywood, undiluted fun in the sun — and all that is aesthetically pleasing.

As you head west in search of that year-round summer sun, do yourself a favor and check out (and into) the new Hotel Wilshire, which epitomizes California cool.

A stunning, contemporary, green boutique hotel, the Hotel Wilshire is an eco-friendly LEED Certified hotel located in the epicenter of Los Angeles.  It features 74 beautiful boutique hotel rooms with spa-style bathrooms, flat screen HD LCD TVs, iPod docking stations, luxurious bedding, complimentary Wi-Fi and breathtaking views. The smoke-free environment, modern design and relaxing California vibe of this eco-friendly hotel make even the most sinful trip to LA a little less guilt-inducing.

If you’re in LA simply for the pleasure of it all, here are some hints of what and where to go: for shopping adventures, head to Beverly Hills, Melrose and Robertson Boulevard, where you will find one-of-a-kind designs in fashion and in collectibles.  If it is art and culture you are seeking, just know that you have arrived in the “Creative Capital of the World,” where the abundance of museums and galleries rival some of the world’s renowned art centers. As an example, it is only a short walk from the hotel to the famed Los Angeles Contemporary Museum of Art.  Or go on a star search on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, take in Chinatown, catch a show at the Kodak Theatre or grab a picnic and head to the Hollywood Bowl for a live concert.

When you need to recoup from the day’s adventures, drop your shopping bags off in your room and find your way to your own personal cabana where you can relax your feet and lazily sip a tropical cocktail by the stunning rooftop pool.

If business brings you to LA, the hotel is conveniently located next to the Downtown Financial District and offers a fully equipped business center with laptop stations. Let’s just say your business acquaintances won’t be refusing any ‘required’ brainstorming meetings in one of the hotel’s conference rooms or some “diplomatic” invites to the rooftop bar.

When night falls, enjoy the delectable American cuisine at The Roof on Wilshire restaurant, featuring the savory creations of celebrity chef Eric Greenspan. Take in the incomparable rooftop views of the Hollywood Hills and the Los Angeles cityscape while enjoying a cocktail by the outdoor fire-pit. Cozy up to your sweetheart, your newly wooed business client, or 50 of your closest friends—LA’s beautiful crowd.

If you need a ready excuse to buy your ticket and book your room, consider this: the Hotel Wilshire grand opening special features rooms starting at only $189!  It’s impossible to resist the pull of this magnetic city…The City of Angels is calling.
