Hollywood and Highland

Hollywood and  Highland

One of the most visited spots by tourists in L.A. is probably Hollywood and Highland. Every time I visit there are huge crows walking around taking in all the sites and attractions that represent Hollywood. This is the street where the walk of fame begins. All the famous actor, actresses and entertainers in radio, music or tv have earned a star to represent the hard work they have put in, You can walk for blocks and blocks and see people from Dick van Dyke to Keifer Sutherland. It is truly an experience to see the generations mixed and what they represented.

The main attraction here is the Grauman's Chinese Theater. It is a huge theater that host movie premieres and events and right out in front are the famous hand and footprints in the concrete. This where many well know entertainers have made there mark in history. You can see people placing there hands and feet int he mold seeing how there hands and feet compare to some of Hollywood's finest.

Situated right next to Grauman's is another notable building, it is the Hollywood and Highland mall and also the Kodak Theater. The Kodak Theater is home to the Academy Awards Show, also know as the Oscars. When you enter the grand stair case where all the celebrities enter there is a marble floor and staircase, the stairway up to the ball room displays all the best picture movies since the Oscars began. It was absolutely gorgeous. You can feel the sense of the prestigious ness of the Academy Awards just standing on the marble stairway.

The Hollywood and Highland mall is just about like any other mall, typical stores and food establishments. There are a few out of the ordinary places like a Wolf Gang Puck restaurant but other than that a very nice mall with lots to see and do while still experinceing the Hollywood scene.

Across the street is the El Capiton Theater which is also a popular location for movies premiers and films. In this area you will also see the Roosevelt Hotel, tour buses and other museums that attract the tourist eye.

This area has so much that it will keep tourist busy for hours. You can spot the Hollywood sign from here and find lots of gift shops to pick up something to remind you of your experience.

Can't Wait for This Spa

I love Hollywood and Highland. I have spent many days and nights there shopping and partying. I never really have time to relax after a day of shopping there but now I will have a chance to, yes!!! I've been hearing about Spa Luce which is supposed to be the flagship spa of Hollywood and Highland. Apparently if you sign up for the mailing list at spaluce.com, you get discounts and perks. I would love to relax after some shopping, thank you H&H for your new addition. I can't wait!

We ''did'' this area in about 45 minutes. It is a must-see but doesn't take long, unless you actually stop to see a movie or go to Jimmy Kimmel Live.

This is the new Hollywood & Highland Entertainment Center, which features the Kodak Theatre, the new home for the Academy Awards.

Typical higher-end shops like MAC, Tommy Hilfiger, DeJaun Jewelers and such. Quirky shops like Attack of the Killer B's is a must see.
