Central Los Angeles Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

At the rooftop of the observatory, one can have a great view of the Los Angeles skyline including the iconic Hollywood sign.
The Bradbury Building, built in 1893 in downtown Los Angeles, is my favorite building in California--at least my favorite interior. It's been a location for a number of movies, such as Blade Runner, Double Indemnity, and (500) Days of Summer.
Griffith Observatory in the early morning, just as Los Angeles awakes. As seen in the movie La La Land.

Had a wonderful week stay. All the staff was very friendly and helpful and knowledgeable of the area. The location was central to a lot of the touristy stuff which for our trip was great and was a very short ride to Universal. I would 1000% stay here again without any hesitation.
