STAY

Tucked above Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood, this iconic hotel, Chateau Marmont, has a rich history tied to the Hollywood scene. As a temporary home to many in entertainment over the years, it's filled with stories that make it worth a visit. If you're looking to stay on the Westside, Santa Monica Proper and Surfrider Hotel Malibu are also at the top of our list.

BREAKFAST

Though it's hard to pick one favorite cafe in LA, Maru Coffee has some of the best quality coffee around. Visit one of their 3 locations (Los Feliz, Downtown, and Beverly Hills) to kick off your day. When you're ready for food, head to Courage Bagels in East Hollywood. It's worth the wait. We promise.

DINNER / DRINKS

Stop by Dudley Market in Venice for incredible fish accompanied by a large selection of European and natural wines. This fresh seafood market-style restaurant also has one of the sneaky best burgers in LA.

Post-dinner, Bar Stella in Silverlake is a great spot with cozy, intimate seating. If you're not feeling a cocktail, this also operates as Cafe Stella during the day so can easily swap the drink out for a morning coffee.
