We've just got back from LA (or Ian, our Commercial Director did) - and boy what a trip it was! It just so happened to be the same night as the Grammies - we didn't get all glammed up like Pink or Lady Gaga though - we went straight to Santa Monica to hang out at the Shangri-La hotel - far far cooler. We only had 2 nights but we'd recommend going for at least a week - there is so much to do and see and we are just going to have to go back there! We hung out in Santa Monica and a bit of West Hollywood (or WeHo). We fell in love with Santa Monica totally - you may not get the people of Rodeo Drive but you do get to see the ocean and in our opinion that's far prettier!
Ian stayed at the very brilliant Shangri-La Hotel. From the moment Eric welcomed us at the desk we knew this was our sort of place! The 30's art-deco, the amazing ocean views and the penthouse bar right at the top are all fabulous . Look out for the shiny silver balls floating in the pool, the open fireplace in the open-air bar, and if you're a fan of US TV, the venue where they recently shot an episode of The Bachelor! One tip - the kitchens in the rooms are brand new and excellent, but make sure you order crockery from reception - we got confused on that one!
We can't wait to go back!
