Los Angeles is a huge city, and it's hard to find a hotel that's close to everything. The most important thing when looking for accommodation in the city is that it be a safe area, since there are quite dangerous neighborhoods.
In this post I tell you about the best areas and hotels to stay in Los Angeles.
TRAVEL TIPS |
Before I start talking about the best areas to stay in Los Angeles and various accommodation options, I want to talk to you about the importance of traveling to the United States with travel insurance.
It is essential that if you travel to the United States you do so with additional medical travel insurance. Even if you have private insurance in your country of origin, many of them only cover a certain percentage and sometimes they only cover basic care. Accidents happen, we get sick, we lose luggage or our documentation is stolen... The subject of healthcare in the United States is very expensive, to give you an idea;
An x-ray approx: 300 euros. An operation approx: 12,000 euros One day hospitalized approx: 4,000 euros A basic consultation with prescription approx: 150 euros |
In this article I am going to talk about 4 great areas to stay in Los Angeles and some areas that you should avoid, not only to stay, but also to visit them.
WHERE TO STAY IN LOS ANGELES; Best areas and hotels
Stay in Hollywood
Without a doubt, one of the best areas to stay in Los Angeles is Hollywood. It is an area perfectly connected with the bus and metro service. Also, Hollywood is one of the safest areas. That does not mean that things can happen, however, being an area very popular with tourists, it is more vigilant.

Staying in Beverly Hills
Another of the best areas to look for accommodation is Beverly Hills. Although also one of the most expensive, although you can find good deals. It is home to many celebrities. In Beverly Hills you will find Rodeo Drive, where the most expensive stores in the city are.
It is a quiet, safe area with many options for hotels, apartments...

Staying in Downtown Los Angeles
The Downtown offers many accommodation options for all budgets. It is a fairly safe area, with a lot of atmosphere and places to go for a walk, eat...
We were the area we chose. We stayed at The Hoxton Hotel, Downtown LA. The hotel is great; comfortable, clean… We would repeat the experience!

Staying in Santa Monica, one of my favorite areas
Santa Monica is the best option if you are looking for a beach. It is a quiet area, but at the same time there is always an atmosphere, places to go out for a drink or eat… It is not usually an economic area, but in reality no area of Los Angeles is.
Santa Monica is quite far from the sights, but there are still good bus connections.
