Cape Destinations: Los Angeles, USA
Where to Stay, What to Experience – All with Cape by Your Side
Los Angeles is a mosaic of neighbourhoods, each with its own pulse. If you're planning a trip to Los Angeles, whether for business, leisure, or during a high-profile global event like the 2026 FIFA World Cup or the 2028 Olympics—there’s one key question to start with: Where should you stay to experience the best of LA with style, ease, and access? To help you navigate the sprawl in style, we’ve plotted a north‑to‑south route through three hotels that place you exactly where you want to be. From West Hollywood nightlife to marina sunsets and Long Beach sands.
Here are our top three recommendations for accommodation, each with a unique edge—and all perfect bases for a Cape-curated Los Angeles itinerary.
La Peer Hotel, West Hollywood – Design‑forward boutique, steps from the Sunset Strip
Tucked into WeHo’s Design District, La Peer feels like a private gallery with guestrooms wrapped around a leafy courtyard pool and a rooftop that swaps the usual bar scene for pickleball courts overlooking the skyline. A six‑minute walk drops you at the Troubadour and a ten‑minute stroll reaches Melrose boutiques, so you can hit the “must‑see” spots on foot and retreat to boutique calm between outings.
Why we like it: Prime tourist radius without the tourist vibe; boutique glamour that still lets you play (quite literally) on the roof.
The Ritz‑Carlton, Marina del Rey – Waterfront icon where LA unwinds
Perched on the marina and fifteen minutes from LAX, this Ritz‑Carlton turns coastal leisure into its own itinerary: salt‑water pool framed by yachts, Club Lounge sunsets, and the hotel’s 42‑foot Silver Eagle yacht ready for charter. Step off property and you’re on The Strand cycle path or paddle‑boarding past sea lions before breakfast.
Why we like it: Waterfront playground where every classic SoCal pursuit—sailing, cycling, Porsche hot‑laps, is launched from the lobby.
Fairmont Breakers, Long Beach – Heritage reborn on LA’s southern shore
A 1920s landmark reborn, the Breakers brings Fairmont polish to Long Beach’s walkable waterfront. Expect Art‑Deco columns in the lobby, ocean‑view suites above Alamitos Beach, and a rooftop bar that stares straight at the Queen Mary. Outside, the city mixes kite‑surf culture with a rising food scene and quick access to Catalina Island ferries.
Why we like it: Heritage charm at LA’s relaxed southern edge, ideal for travellers who want sand, sailing, and a slower pulse without losing the luxe.
