Los Angeles spans beaches,
deserts, mountains, and
islands and rises to 10,068 feet
from sea level. Here’s your
guide to the vast geography,
famous landmarks, and
distinctive towns that make
up the land of endless summer.

L.A. FRONTS THE PACIFIC OCEAN
and has a strand and a burg for
every beach visitor. Venice Beach has
a counterculture vibe and a perpetual
carnival of dancers, drummers, and street
performers, while bikers on beach cruisers
weave through all the fun. Just inland,
Venice turns trendy—even edgy—along
Abbot Kinney Boulevard, lined with cafes
and unique boutiques. Up the coast is
Malibu, rural and laid-back, where surf
central is Surfside Beach at the Malibu Pier.
Down the coast is Marina del Rey, L.A.’s
upscale small-boat harbor, where you can
take a stroll, enjoy a sunset sail, or paddle
around by kayak or paddleboard. Continuing
south, below LAX, are the South Bay goodtime towns—Manhattan Beach, Hermosa
Beach, and Redondo Beach—barefoot
hangouts with friendly eateries, good surf,
beach volleyball, and an endless peoplewatching show. L.A.’s southernmost beach
city is the harbor town of San Pedro, home
of the battleship USS IOWA and Harbor
Breeze Cruises. San Pedro is full of smalltown charm, walkable and family friendly.
Take the ferry from here to Catalina Island for
a Mediterranean-style seaside village vibe.

Beverly Hills
No charge for looking
[ 13 MILES NORTHWEST OF DOWNTOWN ]
IT’S A FACT THAT L.A.’S VENERABLE
seat of luxury—the place the world
equates with all things sumptuous, exquisite,
tasteful—does not charge an admission fee.
There are no gates around Beverly Hills.
This show is free. Of course the 90210 offers
every opportunity to live the life of luxury.
That might be at one of its hotels like the
Beverly Wilshire or The Beverly Hills Hotel, aka
Pink Palace, with its refurbished bungalows
and classic rendezvous spot, The Polo Lounge.
Take a suite, or simply
Beverly
Hills
take a cup of coffee and
City Hall
enjoy the elite ambience.
You can shop Rodeo Drive
for Chanel, Cartier, Fendi,
Armani, et al., or simply window shop as you
let everyone wonder who you are. Naturally,
you can splurge for dinner—at Bouchon, CUT,
or Urasawa—but there’s always lunch, or you
can choose from plenty of casual eateries.
More interested in real estate? Whether
you’re lookie-looing or ready to shell out eight
figures, the grand estates are mainly out in
the open, and it’s a visual treat to drive by
and revel in their beauty.

DOWNTOWN KNOWS IT’S HOT, AND DOESN’T MERELY PEG
its pride on the Walt Disney Concert Hall’s shimmering
undulations—though how many buildings anywhere do you actually
want to touch? Thanks to a flurry of redevelopment, Downtown is now
practically giddy with music, art, sports, and actual residents. It’s a
living place, and at all hours. Enjoy dozens of small galleries, eclectic
bistros for a bite or brew, or rooftop cocktails.
Downtown skyline
Buildings command respect, even awe, such as
the Central Library and Union Station. Downtown
at times feels happily nostalgic, like when
you queue up for a French dip sandwich or a
wee-hours breakfast, or stumble on crazy bargains in the Fashion
District or Jewelry District. There’s ample glitz, too—like the GRAMMY
Museum® at L.A. LIVE, as well as the STAPLES Center, L.A.’s eminent
big-concert venue that also hosts Lakers and Clippers basketball and
Kings hockey. Beyond the skyscrapers is the L.A. Metro area, where
the Space Shuttle Endeavour has landed in Exposition Park and
where neighborhoods on the rise like Silver Lake and Echo Park blend
trendy with rich architectural heritage.

Hollywood
Sidewalks paved with stars
[ JUST NORTHWEST OF DOWNTOWN ]
IT’S NO SURPRISE THAT IN HOLLYWOOD, SHOW BUSINESS
hangs in the air. It also stocks the boutiques (you just might
find some memorabilia here) and even paves the sidewalks.
Reading the names embedded in the Walk of Fame’s star-studded
walkways along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street is a
nostalgic treat—and a bit of a trivia game, since no one is likely to
be familiar with all 2,500 celebs. The heart of it
Pantages
Theatre
all is the TCL Chinese Theatre, where on the
famous forecourt you can match handprints,
footprints, and hoofprints with the likes of Frank
Sinatra, Carmen Miranda, and Trigger, Roy
Rogers’ palomino. You can also take your star search inside at the
Hollywood Museum, or sit beneath the kind of stars that shimmer
in the sky by taking in a concert at the beloved Hollywood Bowl. If
you’re keen to glean the workings of star-making machinery, visit
Universal Studios Hollywood. It’s more than a theme park filled
with thrills; it is also a working movie studio where chance celeb
encounters happen. Universal Studios Hollywood is also home to
CityWalk®, where to walk is to be entertained (the massive signs
are a show unto themselves), to dine is to be entertained, and
where a night at the movies is, appropriately, an event.
Westside
Sophistication within reach
5
THE WESTSIDE IS BRIGHT AND SHINY L.A.,
affluent and sophisticated, but not in a noseup-in-the-air way. We’re talking upscale walkable
clusters where artsy enclaves and museums give
culture an accessible spin, often within strolling
reach of some of the city’s best hotels. Walk around.
LACMA Window shop. Lose yourself in
the Los Angeles County Museum
of Art or The Getty museum,
two of the world’s great cultural
institutions. In Brentwood, enjoy
a neighborhood where locals spill from hillside
mansions into streets lined with boutiques and
eateries that sport three or four dollar signs apiece.
Culver City is emerging and always changing. Walk
its hip downtown or gallery district, then return
tomorrow to find galleries and sidewalk cafes that
weren’t there yesterday. But don’t neglect Westside
standbys like L.A.’s original Farmers Market, with its
100-plus purveyors of goodies. Finally, salute the
Westside for having shopping malls that are walkable
attractions in themselves. The Grove, the Beverly
Center, and the Westfield Century City—airy and
entertaining—confirm that L.A. is the place to shop.

Pasadena
Timeless and timely
[ 12 MILES NORTHEAST OF DOWNTOWN ]

IMAGINE A TIMELESS SOCIETY MATRON
(or patron) finding a happy marriage with a
supercool young hipster, and you start to get a picture
of Pasadena. Grand, elegant, traditional. Lively,
happening, youthful. Nowhere is that blessed union
more apparent than in Old Pasadena, where scores
of historic brick buildings have been thoroughly
restored and where even the alleyways are gussied up.
The whole district is listed on the National Register
of Historic Places. The old
buildings house scads of up-todate shops and more than 100
bistros, cafes, bars, nightclubs, and
restaurants. Thousands come to
stroll the streets on any given weekend evening, a
parade nearly as entertaining as the world-famous
annual Tournament of Roses Parade on January 1. But
don’t limit yourself just to Old Town. Get out to ogle
elegant neighborhoods like Oak Knoll or the Lower
Arroyo Seco, with its many Craftsman homes. Take in
art and the arts (e.g., The Huntington Library, Art
Collections and Botanical Gardens; the Norton Simon
Museum; and The Gamble House), tour the historic
Rose Bowl Stadium, or comb for treasures there at the
monthly (second Sunday) Rose Bowl Flea Market.
SEASIDE SANTA MONICA IS A CITY OF SCENES, VISTAS
that you can plug into to suit your mood. Ideally, your
mood has to do with a taste for fun, because you just can’t do
Santa Monica without having a good time. Maybe start with a
stroll of Palisades Park, a scene of strollers and joggers, yogis
and gawkers, and also a bluffside overlook for killer views—ocean,
mountain, miles of beach—long, sandy, perfect. You’ll have a
great view of Santa Monica Pier, too, but the pier wants your
presence, not just your admiration. Make your way down to its
Pacific Park for a brightly colored spin on timeless carnival fun.
A few blocks inland is Third Street Promenade
and Santa Monica Place, equal parts
pedestrian shopping zone and stretched-out
stage for some of the West Coast’s best street
performers. Even minus street entertainers,
the sidewalks of Montana Avenue—Santa Monica’s upscale
shopping scene—are pretty entertaining, lined as they are with
one-of-a-kind boutiques and cafes. Be sure to give equal time
to Main Street, a place for bargains and finds and friendly
coffeehouses tucked into historic buildings, where time slows just
a bit in on-the-go Santa Monica.

WEST HOLLYWOOD IS NOT ONLY A CITY UNTO ITSELF, IT’S
a 1.9-square-mile universe. It’s where L.A. gets very hip—think
Whisky A Go Go, launching rock careers on the Sunset Strip for
five decades now (The Doors were once the house band). And it’s
where L.A.’s LGBT dance clubs, bars, and drag revues are generously
sprinkled along main drags like Santa Monica
Boulevard, so bar crawls and scene shifting are an
easy and festive matter. Nearly as numerous are
gay-wedding sites, ranging from romantic gardens
to groovy hotels to nontraditional settings like the
Pacific Design Center or the House of Blues. Speaking of which—
the House of Blues remains L.A.’s classic midsize club for live music,
ranging from metal meltdowns to blues (of course) to gospel. Gospel?
Yep, Gospel Brunch is every other Sunday, and it rocks. As for the
Pacific Design Center, the massive showcase for all things tasteful is
open to the public, and a great way to kick off an exploration of
Melrose Avenue and the West Hollywood Design District. It all adds
up to a dazzling concentration of fashion, fine art, and food.

L.A. DOESN’T MIND BEING
judged by the company it keeps.
Its neighboring cities and towns, nearby
mountains and deserts all help define a
region of dazzling variety. You can ski in
the morning near Big Bear Lake and surf
in the afternoon in the Beach Cities.
Take a winding escape on the Angeles
Crest Highway through the San Gabriel
Mountains—those high-rises that form
Downtown’s dramatic natural backdrop.
Or head east toward the low desert, and
hit Desert Hills Premium Outlets on the
way to Palm Springs. Escape the heat on
the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, where
a rotating tramcar delivers you to the
cool slopes of Mount San Jacinto in just
10 minutes. You’ve probably heard of
Disneyland Resort; the Magic Kingdom
is just 45 minutes south of Downtown. +

Industry,” locals know exactly what they mean:
Show biz. Movies. Television. Much of the Industry
is ensconced in the Valley, where you can scarcely go
for sushi without passing by a movie studio. There’s
Disney, NBC, and Warner Brothers—the last has one
of the best and most intimate studio tours in L.A.
Show biz goes live in the Valley, too, in the NoHo Arts
District, where a couple dozen live theaters have
energized a boho scene. Speaking of sushi, Ventura
Boulevard seems to have more
raw fish than anywhere east
of Tokyo. The 18-mile boulevard
is also the heart and spine of
the Valley. It epitomizes Valley
geography—mostly flat and stretched out—and variety,
as in a gazillion great places to eat and shop. The
Valley extends west, to a shrine honoring a man from
the Industry who went on to be president of the United
States—Ronald Reagan, whose legacy lives in the
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum.
The Valley stretches east, too, to the Los Angeles Zoo
& Botanical Gardens and Griffith Park, where parklands
spread across an area nearly five times the size of
New York’s Central Park.

A little restaurant known for
their turkey burger—at least I
know them for their turkey
burger. It’s delicious, really
fresh and juicy. And they put
some sort of arugula or special
sauce on it. Seriously, it’s
mouthwatering. Aside from
that, Hal’s is also a good place
to go with your friends to have
a drink.

There’s a rock face there that
you can climb, or you can go sit
on the beach and hang out. It’s
more private and more
secluded than going to Santa
Monica or Venice. I met one of
my best friends on the rock
face there, right when
I first arrived in L.A. She’s from
Australia and we have done
some traveling together since
then. She’s the absolute best.
I tried the whole vegan Venicearea thing for half a second,
but it didn’t work for me. That
said, I still enjoy eating healthy.
The food at Café Gratitude
is so fresh and clean. They
have salads and imitation
meat and coconut smoothies.
You feel healthier just from
standing in the room even if
you don’t eat anything. The
restaurant itself is beautiful,
The charming star of the CW series
The Vampire Diaries shares where to find
a great blowout, a near-private beach,
fresh clean food, and a green yoga space.

Riawna Capri is my hairstylist
and one of my best friends. I
started working with her before
she went off and started her
own salon. It’s beautiful, warm,
and welcoming, and the whole
team that works there is smiling,
friendly, and happy. You go to
get your hair done, but it’s more
like going to hang out with your
friends. They do a great job and
they’re so talented. Riawna also

too. It feels kind of New York—
clean, vibrant, and everyone
is enjoying themselves.
5. Moksha
Yoga L.A.
Moksha yoga classes are
Canadian, and I’m Canadian,
so I started doing classes
there when I was 16. I was
really happy when they moved
down to the States. I go to
yoga to unwind and relax. No
one can reach me; I can’t talk
to anyone. It’s my “me time.”
It’s also fully sustainable—
the flooring, the walls in
bathrooms—it’s all green,
which is the Moksha practice.
They do hot yoga there, too.
It’s such an intense workout,
so cleansing and rejuvenating.
Inside is another place called
Clover Juice, so right after
you work your body out you
can put good things in it. +

Check into the stately
Millennium Biltmore Hotel
Los Angeles, which recently
celebrated its 90th anniversary.
Luminaries who’ve graced its
doorstep include President John
F. Kennedy, Cecil B. DeMille,
Clark Gable, and Bette Davis. The
hotel is ideally located for taking
in vintage sites downtown (see
“Downtown Treasures,” right)
and as a centralized jumpingoff spot for an excursion to the
city’s historic port at San Pedro
(sanpedrobid.com).
Upon arriving in San Pedro,
stop first at Fort MacArthur
Museum (ftmac.org), a former
U.S. Army post that guarded Los
Angeles Harbor from 1914 to
1974. Visit the Pacific Battleship
Center to see the USS IOWA.
Commissioned Feb. 22, 1943,
the vessel earned the moniker
“World’s Greatest Naval Ship”
and nine battle stars for its World
War II and Korean War service.
Next, stop at Angel’s Gate

Q&A
with
Brian Wilson
The Dodgers’ wildly popular,
hard-throwing relief pitcher, aka
“The Beard,” talks about his morning
commute, outdoor workouts,
and looking good in Dodger blue.
thousands of fans—and even one
Airbus A320. Brian Wilson and
his infamous lush black beard made their
debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers just last
summer, and Chavez Ravine, site of the team’s
namesake stadium, hasn’t been the same
since. Even though the hard-throwing,
right-handed relief pitcher came to Southern
Cal from the rival Giants in NoCal, the
forgiving L.A. fans took to him immediately.
“I was used to getting booed here,” said the
former San Francisco Giant when he arrived
at Dodger Stadium last August. “Now that I’m
double zero, maybe I’ll get oooed.”
Maybe? Fans now sport their own beards,
Mohawk hairdos (yes, Wilson has a Mohawk,
too), and 00 Dodger jerseys whenever Wilson
pitches. They have so much love for number
00 that they even voted for a Brian Wilson
bobblehead night. (June 26 against the
St. Louis Cardinals is Fan Vote Bobblehead
night. Better get your tickets now!)
We caught up with Wilson on the fly as he
was heading out to sign autographs at Dodger
Fan Fest day. We wanted to ask him how he
felt about his new life in Los Angeles. True to
his atypical character, outsized personality, and
offbeat sense of humor, “The Beard” did not
give us any of the usual sports cliché responses!
(Oh, and about that Airbus: In 2011, Virgin
America unveiled an A320 emblazoned with
the Giants logo and Brian Wilson’s iconic facial
hair surrounding the cockpit. We imagine
they’ve had to do some major repainting.)
L.A. VISITORS GUIDE What do you like
best about L.A.?
there’s a lot of outdoor space. When I come
here early, I like to work out outdoors. And I
have all this room to myself. I really enjoy that.
L.A. VISITORS GUIDE What’s your favorite
route to the stadium?
WILSON I live in West L.A. I like taking my
time. I take Sunset. Sometimes I take the 101 to
maybe Alvarado. Maybe Silverlake Boulevard.
Just depends on how frisky I wanna get and
how I’m feeling that morning. I come extremely
early on game days so it’s a breeze getting here.

like I look good in blue.

L.A. VISITORS GUIDE Best seat in the house?

they can’t get tickets there all the time. +

RENDSETTING CUISINE
lots of restaurants offering house-made meat products
(aka charcuterie), like sausage, ham, and bacon (Bestia
downtown and Chi Spacca in Hollywood are just two).
For the most part, however, “we’ve found a happy
medium now,” Mahin says, “approachable food that
has fun elements to it.” Walter Manzke, chef-owner of
two L.A. eateries—République, a new mid-city French
bistro set in a building where Charlie Chaplin once had
offices; and Petty Cash, a bustling taqueria nearby—
agrees: “I feel we’re going back to well-paired simple
ingredients, not over-garnished, not overworked.” At République, for
example, Manzke offers classic French dishes such as escargot, steak
frites, and his take on the traditional frisée lardon salad, served with
wood oven–roasted Brussels sprouts.
From Cobb salads to the French dip, and pop-up
eateries to farm-to-table cuisine, Los Angeles
is the birthplace of countless culinary trends.
We talked to some of the city’s leading chefs
on what’s new when it comes to dining in this
spectacularly diverse and inventive city.
FOOD PHYSICS ADVENTURES TO RUSTIC CLASSICS
FOR A WHILE, MOLECULAR GASTRONOMY was the trend, as food sci-
ence transformations like beef foam, liquefied olives, and anchovy
bubbles popped up in dishes all over town. After that, the pendulum
swung back toward rustic. “Suddenly every restaurant in Los Angeles
was serving offal [organ meats] and making their own charcuterie,”
says Jeff Mahin, chef-partner of the wildly popular Stella Rossa Pizzeria in Santa Monica, and its sister establishment, Hollywood’s Stella
Barra Pizzeria. You can still find organ meats in L.A. (b.o.s. in Little Tokyo, for instance, serves up tongue carpaccio and sweetbread tacos) and
VEGGIES RULE!
CARNIVORE, OMNIVORE, VEGETARIAN, VEGAN. These categories barely

restaurants offer hearty, gooey dishes bursting with the meat-associated
taste sensation known as umami.
Sure, Chef Tal Ronnen became famous for preparing Oprah’s meals
when she did a 21-day vegan cleanse, and for catering the vegan wedding
of Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. Still, he says, he thinks of the food
at Crossroads, his sexy West Hollywood restaurant, “as Mediterranean
first, plant-based second.” With dishes like truffle leek flatbread, rootvegetable potpie, and a cheese plate showcasing nut-milk cheese, this is
a place even diehard meat-eaters are sure to love. And the same is true
at Gracias Madre, a new plant-based Mexican restaurant in West Hollywood. Here, a dish like flautas de camote—rolled tacos filled with sweet
potatoes and caramelized onions—is as rich and flavorful as carne asada.
Chefs are inspired by the bounty of the farmers’ markets here. “The
availability and the quality of produce in Los Angeles keeps getting better,” says Manzke. “Vegetables and salads change every day at our restaurants, and we love to take those vegetables that you remember hating as a
kid and turn them into something remarkable.” One example: the roasted
cauliflower nachos and crispy Brussels sprouts popularized at Petty Cash.
“We’re very farmers’ market–driven,” says Suzanne Goin, chef and
co-owner of some of L.A.’s most acclaimed restaurants, including
Lucques in West Hollywood, A.O.C. in nearby Mid-City, and Tavern in
Brentwood. And she’s not just talking about the likes of kale and kumquats (though both show up on her menus). “We’re looking for wild
greens and unusual ingredients that we can play around with,” she says.
“We do some pickling and fermenting.”
DO-IT-YOUR-WAY DINING
AT A.O.C., THE EATERY THAT HELPED LAUNCH the small-plates craze,
Goin has added a few big platters to the menu, like roasted chicken. When
she opened A.O.C. a dozen years ago, “we created two- or three-note dishes
that didn’t have to be developed into a full course,” she says. “Small plates
were a nice break from the traditional format.” Now, she says, “we wanted
to go in the other direction with plates that are put in the middle of the
table and four people can dig in.” With both small plates and big platters
on the menu, A.O.C. lets guests choose the way they want to dine. You can
make a meal out of three small plates, opt to share a platter and a farmer’s
plate with dining companions, or anything in between.
That kind of flexibility abounds throughout Los Angeles. With communal tables, a long bar, a bakery, and an oyster bar, République welcomes walk-ins. You can enjoy escargot and a mushroom tart with a glass
of wine from the extensive wine list, or settle in for three courses. Even at
Spago, newly reopened with a small plates menu, you can make a meal of
small bites at the bar. Among the choices: the revered pizza with housesmoked salmon, pork and leek chili dumplings, a soft-shell crab po’boy,
and for dessert, doughnuts with black-sesame custard.
THE REIGN OF CHILI PEPPERS
BEING “THE GATEWAY TO MEXICAN COOKING for the rest of the country,” as restaurateur Jimmy Shaw puts it, L.A. has long offered some of the
best, most creative Mexican-inspired cuisine in the world. Shaw, a Mexico
City native, owns five Loteria Grills in Los Angeles and a new Mexicanstyle sandwich shop, Torta Company, in Downtown. But, as he points out,
you don’t need to go to a Mexican restaurant to enjoy Mexican-influenced
bites. “You’re seeing the interesting use of Mexican chiles everywhere in
Los Angeles,” he says, “including at high-end restaurants and hotel bars.”
At the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, for example,
you’ll find achiote-grilled pork quesadillas and crab tostadas at the Windows Lounge. A couple of miles east, at the Los Angeles County Museum
of Art, Ray’s & Stark Bar Chef Kris Morningstar is “toasting dried chiles
and using them with respect,” Shaw says, in his Mediterranean menu.

I know it’s
going to be
great here.”
LOS ANGELES HAS NEVER BEEN STUFFY when it comes to restaurants,
but more than ever, the line between casual and fine dining is blurring.
A Michelin-starred chef is serving lobster rolls and chowder in a West
Hollywood seafood shack (Michael Cimarusti at Connie and Ted’s). At
ink on Melrose Avenue, Top Chef champion Michael Voltaggio is dishing out what he calls “modern Los Angeles cuisine,” beautifully plated,
elegant dishes like cuttlefish with hazelnuts and pike caviar. “This is
highly orchestrated [food] in a hip-hop atmosphere,” says Jeff Mahin.
In a hurry? Next door at ink.sack, you can grab a sandwich to go: banh
mi, pastrami with horseradish cream sauce, or a tuna with spicy mayo.
Another Top Chef contender, Brooke Williamson, co-owns both The
Tripel in Playa del Rey and Hudson House in Redondo Beach with her
husband, Nick Roberts. The two restaurants offer what Williamson describes as “upscale comfort food with a twist, in a pub environment.”
That includes things like a pulled-pork and pretzel-croissant sandwich
at Hudson House and squid-ink spaghetti at Tripel. Innovative as this
food is, “we don’t want to be a high-end destination,” Williamson says.
“We want to be a neighborhood spot where people can come in a couple
of times or more a week and be happy to be there in an atmosphere that’s
relaxed but booming.”
Suzanne Tracht, chef-owner of Jar Restaurant, a longstanding chophouse in West Hollywood, aims for the same cozy feeling. “A lot of our
customers come in three times a week,” she says. “They’ll have something
indulgent like creamed spinach and pot roast one night and steamed veggies and filet the next.” +

The Coveted
Climate
Renowned for its glorious
weather, Los Angeles enjoys
comfortable temperatures
and low humidity year-round.
Average highs in winter and
spring range from 68 to 72
degrees Fahrenheit, warming
up to 82 for summer.
If you’re visiting between
November and April, come
prepared for the region’s few
rainy days. In May, June, and
July, a marine layer often casts
a cloudy haze over the beach
communities in the mornings,
only to burn off midday.
August tends to be the
hottest month of the dry, sunny
summer, but coastal breezes
temper the heat. Evenings are
cool throughout the year. Pack
beachwear, comfortable layers
of lightweight clothing, a light
jacket, and sunscreen to make
the most of L.A.’s mild climate.

installations. Do these sound like elements of a day on
Rodeo Drive? Yes. In this case, though, they describe a
different luxury location, one you’ll find at Los Angeles
International Airport (LAX): It’s the Tom Bradley International
Terminal (or TBIT, pronounced “ti’bit”).
Opened in September 2013, the terminal, designed by Curtis
Fentress, resembles a cresting wave akin to those found just outside
in the Pacific Ocean. Inside, the concourse dazzles with art features,
outstanding dining and shopping venues, and creature comforts most
travelers have only dreamed about—until now. It’s all the result of a
$1.9 billion project so environmentally conscientious that the United
States Green Building Council awarded it a prestigious Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design Silver certification.
Digital
Enhancements
EASING TRAVELERS’ EXPERIENCE
right out of the gate are an
improved ticketing process and
an upgraded inbound and
outbound baggage system. This,
of course, leaves more time for
exploring TBIT’s extraordinary
Great Hall.
Aglow with LED displays,
the Great Hall is an interactive
information wonderland. Colossal
video screens flash welcoming
panoramas and theater-like
productions. A flight information
board projects live data-feed
images of destinations. An
elevator/time tower represents
the 24 world time zones. It all
reacts to travelers’ movements
with changing sound effects and
transforming imagery. On the
horizon: an app for mobile devices
with details about destinations
and concourse vendors.
World-Class
Shopping
TBIT’S 36 RETAIL STORES RANGE
from Bulgari and Emporio Armani
to Hugo Boss and Michael Kors,
as well as some wonderful
surprises never seen before in
any airport. Some are close to
Angelenos’ hearts, such as local
favorites Fred Segal and Kitson.
Duty Free Shopping (DFS)
also gets its due—Hello, Burberry,
Gucci, Hermès…. Even better is
DFS’ Platinum Services Club,
a complimentary concierge/
personalized shopping experience
for high-end, global travelers.
Creature Comforts
IN THE GREAT HALL’S “LIVING
room,” leisure furniture offers
homelike comfort, table bars
supply ample outlets and
charging stations where travelers
can power up, and a special play
area lets kids run off some steam
before and after flights.
Travelers can partake in
L.A.-centric dining experiences
at eateries representing local
establishments. A few standouts:
the Petrossian Caviar and
Champagne Bar, Border Grill’s
modern Mexican food, Larder at
Tavern’s casual eats and baked
goods, Umami Burger’s beefy
taste adventures, and Chaya’s
Asian-French fusion cuisine.
Streamlined
Travel
EVEN THE RESTROOMS ARE
designed for ease of travel.
Extra-large stalls accommodate
travelers and their luggage.
Moving walkways make getting
to gates a snap. Once there, guests
can kick back in cluster and row
seats, 60 percent of which sport
power sockets and USB ports.
As easy as departing from
TBIT is, so too is returning. An
elevated glass bridge leads to a
split-level customs area. En route,
a virtual 90-foot waterfall soothes
the road-weary.
Customs at TBIT features
72 immigration booths. Sixteen
of them are self-serve for Global
Entry program participants;
16 more of these are coming soon.
At the TBIT baggage-claim
area, six carousels unload high
volumes of luggage, like those
carried by A380-size aircraft.
Now this is an airport experience
to look forward to. +
