Whether you’re visiting Alhambra for business or pleasure, this snazzy, modern apartment gives you a perfect relaxing stay. Cool splashes of blue make a bold statement against the living room’s sand-coloured walls, while the contemporary furnishings create a sleek yet comfortable impression. If you need to work from home, you’re all set to get down to business with a desk, super-fast wi-fi, a dry-erase board and USB sockets in every room. If relaxing is the name of the game, you’ll love kicking back on the plump sofa with a glass of Californian wine, enjoying your favourite Netflix shows on the large TV or gathering around the dining table for a celebratory feast. Our favourite room, however, has to be the bedroom. With a sumptuous California king-size bed to snuggle up in each night, you’ll be on cloud nine each morning after a dreamy night’s sleep. When you’re not hanging out in your plush pad, go out and explore the sights. You’re just a five-minute walk from Alhambra’s downtown where boutiques, restaurants and cosy brunch spots wait to be discovered, while Pasadena is just a twelve-minute drive away. Downtown Los Angeles is also reachable by car in twenty minutes and the bright lights of Hollywood beckon, a thirty-minute drive from your door.

Local guide
About Alhambra
To the east of LA, the city of Alhambra sits at one end of the San Gabriel Valley. It’s a lovely area – slightly less intense than places like Hollywood, and while it doesn’t have the big-hitting attractions, the laidback vibe attracts lots of young families and small businesses. No trip to the city would be complete without a milkshake from Fosselman’s, and there’s also an abundance of good Chinese...
