Los Angeles began changing quite quickly after California was transferred to the United States from Mexico in 1848. The changes became even more prevalent when the Transcontinental Railroad was completed in 1876 and the history and identity of the area has evolved and expanded in many different ways. Today, about 24 million people visit LA on vacation every year. The city is home to over 80 different stage theaters and 300 museums, more than any other city in the country. The port is one of the busiest in the world and definitely the busiest in the country. Even though the city looks like a tropical oasis, with palm trees and ocean waters everywhere, the climate is more like a desert with very little rainfall each year. Los Angeles is definitely a city of luxury and elegance and when you stay in the area, five star Los Angeles hotels bring some of that atmosphere into the guest rooms for travelers to enjoy.

With over 300 museums from which to choose, it is hard to know where to start if you want to enjoy the culture of the city. The Getty Center is one of the museums you will not want to miss. It is considered one of the best museums in the city with its original architecture and high, bright skylights. There is a wide variety of art, photographs and sculptures from Europe and America in the museum. It also holds decorative arts and even old manuscripts. The museum can take an entire day to explore and make sure you do not miss the Central Gardens.

The Griffith Observatory is another architectural highlight that was completed in the 1930s. It has undergone major renovations over the years, but it remains one of the most popular landmarks in the city. The observatory has many fascinating attractions and events such as the amazing laser light shows. The area around the building has outstanding views of the city in the daytime hours as well as at night. The exhibits in the planetarium are astounding to those with any interest in astronomy. Movie fans may recognize the observatory from the climax of the famous James Dean movie, "Rebel Without a Cause".

Olvera Street is a great place to get a taste of the LA culture. The children within the city used to canvas the street in the summer searching for shoes, Mexican jumping beans and other necessities and fun items. The cobblestone street has a block long assortment of clothes and accessories as well as novelties, gifts, leather goods and restaurants. The visitor center at the beginning of the street shows complimentary films that show what early life was like in the city. Olvera Street was created in the 1930s and you can take public tours of the area to learn more about the history of the historic street.

Los Angeles has a huge amount of diversity, so it is the perfect location for the Museum of Tolerance. This world-renowned museum takes a look at the world of racism and highlights events such as the Holocaust as an extreme example of inhumanity between two diverse groups. The museum has interactive exhibits, theaters, a special exhibition gallery and even a research floor. Visitors can take self-guided tours in a few hours, though some exhibits are recommended for only those aged 12 years and above due to their graphic nature and subject matter.

Echo Park is a beautiful, more natural area of the city. The park has 26 acres of green space surrounding a lovely lake. Visitors can take tours of the park and other landmarks in the neighborhood and there are often festivals and cultural activities held in the park for further entertainment.

For those who enjoy the finest services and amenities, five star Los Angeles hotels offer the best accommodations in the city. These hotels have outdoor pools and convenient locations to area attractions including the beach. When you visit a city that houses many famous celebrities and stars, you may very well want to pamper yourself and get a taste of "the good life". Staying in one of the five star Los Angeles hotels is a good way to feel the luxury and elegance of the city in your very own room.
