The Hyatt on Sunset was once known as the Continental Hyatt House and "the Riot House," because of the number of rock stars who stayed here in the '70's. A great visual of that era was included in Cameron Crowe's poignant movie, Almost Famous. The Standard and The Mondrian Hotel are across the street from the Hyatt. The Hyatt was refurbished in 1998 or so and is a very nice, reasonably priced, centrally located, place to stay.
This is where the bold and beautiful hang out. Check out the places where you can shop till you drop or party all night, the choice is yours!
The Skybar, a simple, tin-roofed, open-air hut supported by logs, offers the finest panoramic views of Los Angeles, which appears to be nestled in the clouds. This is one of the most exclusive, hottest bars in L.A.
Customers at the surprisingly small Viper Room will find themselves treated with the same professionalism and hospitality as those familiar faces of the Hollywood limelight that may be standing next to you at the bar. These character traits have set this club apart from the multitudes of Hollywood night spots, and guests here can be assured that they will leave having had a unique and memorable experience.
On the other end of the Sunset Strip (at 8240) is one of the hottest spots in Hollywood. Dublin's, a multi-level restaurant, pub, and sports bar, is known for the cheapest drink prices on the strip, $1.50 valet, and never having a cover charge or guest list. L.A. Starz has spotted handsome David Boreanaz, among other celebs, at the upstairs bar. (Note: Dublin's may have closed since this page was originally published).
Here are a few select places to visit with the family:
A beautiful place to take in sun, sand and shopping.
Offers a very large and varied menu including the best chicken soup in Los Angeles! Open late on weekends. Very popular with locals and celebs.
