General information

Known as the "City of Angels," Los Angeles was a sleepy little town that grew slowly until the discovery of oil at the close of the 1800s. But it was the silver-screen era that turned Los Angeles into a boomtown. The idyllic climate allows filming to take place outdoors, all year round.

Beverly Hills is simultaneously a small town and a highly sophisticated city, the capital of the entertainment industry and a trendsetter in the world of fashion and beauty. Visitors coming to Beverly Hills have a chance to rub elbows with celebrities as they dine and shop with the stars.

Adjacent to Beverly Hills, lies the unique and elegantly fashionable shopping district of Robertson Blvd, Melrose Avenue and Third Street. Visitors have the opportunity to discover a combination of well known designers and upscale boutiques, whilst also enjoying a number of small cafes and local restaurants.
