A must-see destination for any visitor to Los Angeles is the small suburb of Beverly Hills where glamour and opulence abound. Only six-miles square, Beverly Hills features streets lined with grand mansions, towering trees, and sweeping green lawns and is home to countless movie stars and wealthy businesspeople. The immaculate surroundings offer a great escape from the gritty center of L.A., and no place illustrates that better than the Golden Triangle, the picture-perfect commercial district that centers around Rodeo Drive where visitors will find plenty of sophisticated shopping and dining.
Other sights in the area include luxury hotels like the Beverly Wilshire, where Pretty Woman was filmed, and the gorgeous mission-style Civic Center. A pleasant drive along the residential streets offers a glimpse of celebrity homes, while the celebrities themselves can often be spotted at the numerous exclusive restaurants like Chasen's and Spago.
