The Radisson Wilshire Plaza Hotel between Beverly Hills and downtown L.A. is close to anywhere guests want to go Hollywood, the Staples Center, Museum Row and Rodeo Drive's swank, high end shops. Speedy subways whisk guests even closer to downtown, the Hollywood and Highland Entertainment Complex, Universal Studios and City Walk, and Long Beach. The 12 story Radisson also is 12 miles from Monsoon Lagoon Waterpark, 16 miles from Los Angeles International Airport and 28 miles from Disneyland.
For a side trip close to the Radisson, guests should check out the Ambassador Hotel, where Rudolph Valentino, Joan Crawford and Howard Hughes stayed and the famous Coconut Grove nightclub ruled. Although the hotel is no longer open to the public, the historic building serves as one of the most popular movie locations in L.A.
Meanwhile, with so many dining options in the City of Angels, guests definitely won't starve. The Radisson's own award winning restaurants include Tulips Garden, which offers California and continental cuisine, and Saka e, which specializes in authentic Japanese cuisine and a Teppan yaki bar. The lobby's Boulevard Cafe offers made to order sandwiches, salads, doughnuts and the ubiquitous Starbucks coffee. Other hotel accommodations include such amenities as a business center, dial up Internet access, splash pool, sundeck and fitness center. This Los Angeles hotel's 375 guestrooms feature contemporary decors and wide floor to ceiling windows offering views of the sprawling City of Angels. The rooms include dial up Internet access, minibars, comp newspapers and coffeemakers.
Since this Radisson is located in the mid Wilshire business district, guests will find business travelers conducting meetings and banging away on laptop computers in the lobby and sun worshipping tourists, including families and kids and couples, frolicking around the outdoor pool area and sundeck.
