The Hotel Wilshire Starry Stays
Adding a contemporary edge to the historic Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, is the spanking new boutique property, Hotel Wilshire. While the plush, modern interiors would entice any guest, the most tempting part is its proximity to the best of L.A.'s shopping and entertainment hubs. The location - within walking distance of Beverly Hills and a short drive from Santa Monica promenade - makes it ideal for tourists in a city where taxis can burn a big hole in the pocket!
