I was in LA on business for less than 24 hours. All I really saw was my hotel. But it was so amazing I had to write about it!

Walk along the beach at the end of the day as the sun is setting. Most of the families and tourists have gone home from their day at the beach and it will be peaceful.

Quick Tips:

Rent a convertible!!!!!

Best Way To Get Around:

Definitely rent a car - although the traffic is crazy. I was lucky enough to travel with associates who had lived there and knew the area. Make sure you have a map in the car.

Hotel

Poolside
This hotel was amazing! It''s right on the beach and near a park so it''s hard to stay inside but as you enter and see the elegant interior you won''t want to leave.

Comfortable sofas, a great bar/restaurant and amazing pool are just the beginning. There''s also a great spa that offers everything from a Paraffin Therapy Facial to a Self Tanning Treatment for those who want a healthy glow without the wrinkles from the sun.

Not having much time, we opted for a quick bite poolside before heading off to our meetings. I had a delicious lobster salad sandwich while enjoying a view of the ocean and the ferris wheel on the pier.

My favorite feature of the hotel was the incredible jacuzzi bathtub in the rooms. For those of you who love bubble baths, Casa Del Mar will is the place for you! I''m not talking about those huge jets that pummel just a few areas of your body. These jets are incredibly tiny and you''ll find yourself amoung a hundred soothing bubbles. There''s even a digital touch pad with various levels for your maximum comfort. And to spoil you even more, you''ll find wonderful bathsalts and even a rubber ducky next to your tub to make for the perfect bath.

At the end of the night you won''t find chocolates on your pillow. Instead there''s a darling tiny terry cloth teddy bear smiling at you. It was enough to make the most exhausted business traveler happy they made the trip.
