A City Guide by CEREAL

Watch something on screen, be it at the movies, on TV or even on your smartphone, and the chances are that the content was made in Los Angeles. Show business is big business; the city turns over more than 800 billion US dollars a year, dwarfing the output of many nation states. Out on the palm-fringed western edge of the American dream, the City of Angels is everything you imagine it to be; glamorous, glitzy, and hungry for fame. It might be expressways, beaches, and beautiful people you notice first, but its the citys energy youll remember.

In a Spanish Colonial Revival building on Wilshire Boulevard, Kelly Wearstlers design for Santa Monica Proper Hotel recalls the golden tones and textures of the California coast, from sand-engrained paintings to sun-shaped headboards. The hotel stands out for its generously proportioned rooms, Ayurvedic Surya spa, and complimentary yoga classes for guests.
