Where the stars actually go in LA during awards season.
The light of Los Angeles glows brighter every winter when the Hollywood elite descend on the California city for the Oscars. The awards ceremony, held this year on 9 February at the Dolby Theater, draws A-list celebrities and industry insiders from around the globe, making the already buzzing city even more exciting.
Los Angeles is already tailored to the super rich, with high-end spas and hotels at the ready, but during awards season there’s even more luxury to be found, particularly if you avoid the tourist traps.
Los Angeles, a potential new home for Harry and Meghan, takes its indulgence with a dose of wellness, opting for vegan eateries and boutique workouts to accompany the late-night cocktails and sunbathing (if you’re not near a swimming pool, you’re doing it wrong).
For the best vacation in LA, take a cue from the A-listers: work hard and relax even harder.
