Arts on the Avenue, Plum Guide home in Los Angeles
Click to book Arts on the Avenue now: from £169 per night Living the high life in Downtown LA is easy in the heights of this incredible apartment block. Just a five-minute drive from the bright lights of Chinatown, this home is a spot of luxury in the city. In contrast to the colourful red buildings you might pass en route, enter into your modern white, open-plan apartment. With a huge lounge window and ghost dining chairs, this glassy, minimalist vibe is perfect for relaxation after a busy day in this bustling metropolis. Guests here are truly pampered – wellness facilities include a swimming pool, spa, fitness centre, and yoga studio. Or for leisure, you’ve got a roof terrace with barbecues, a library, and a billiards table. If you manage to make it out of this fabulous residence, you won’t need to go far for more entertainment – this avenue will keep you busy the entire time. For cultured days out, your neighbours include some of the city’s most celebrated galleries. A two-minute walk away, find contemporary art at the MOCA, or at The Broad museum less than a minute away on foot. And in the evening, catch the Los Angeles Philharmonic at home at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, a swift three-minute walk from home. Sleeps up to 3 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom
Charlie Was Here
Charlie Was Here, Plum Guide home in Los Angeles
Click to book Charlie Was Here now: from £170 per night Part of a complex once owned by Charlie Chaplin, this home is a combination of rustic, Spanish style and modern Boho chic. In a prime location, it's tucked away on the border between Hollywood and West Hollywood and we bet it could tell some stories about the golden age of cinema. Recently updated, plenty of period features have been left intact, while all the mod cons have also been added. Painted all white and with wooden floors, you'll find some of the arched doors and windows this era home is known for, along with stylish furnishings and quirky decorative pieces. The kitchen and bathroom are of an older style but have plenty of character, and we particularly love the feature wallpaper in the master bedroom. Our favourite thing about this home is the private garden – a tranquil oasis where you can sit outside, surrounded by tropical planting. Just a five-minute drive from Hollywood, whether you're here for work or leisure, it's a great LA location just off Santa Monica Boulevard. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom
Beachwood Serai
Beachwood Serai, Plum Guide home in Los Angeles
Click to book Beachwood Serai now: from £264 per night This is a modern house but one with a distinctly classic Hollywood style - tucked away in the oasis of the hills of Beachwood Canyon. The home mixes contemporary comforts with a collection of antiques, art and vintage treasures that makes the living space and cute-as-a-button bedrooms feel cosy yet grand at the same time. Stepping in to look around, you'll notice the high vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and stone-hearth fireplace that exudes heaps of rustic charm, while the grand piano takes you back to the bygone Golden Age of Hollywood. Wandering through the living room, you'll feel like you're walking along the walls of a castle with the iron chandelier and long dark wood dining table fit for a king or queen. Speaking of, the views from just about every room look out onto the dramatic rolling hills, with one of the bedrooms overlooking a genuine Hollywood-style castle – complete with a drawbridge and moat. Outside, stretch out on your sun-soaked wraparound balcony and enjoy breakfast on the elegant outdoor dining area surrounded by tall trees and lush greenery. Beyond this characterful home, you'll find scenic Griffith Park a ten-minute drive away, that's perfect for morning runs or longer afternoon hikes. And if you're looking for the glitz and glam of tinsel town, then take the nine-minute drive to the star-studded Hollywood Boulevard and its prestigious Walk of Fame. Sleeps up to 10 | 5 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms
Spanish Revival Mansion

Built in 1929, this three-bedroom home combines characterful design elements such as wooden ceiling beams and moorish tiling with luxurious touches: think a private hot tub, a restaurant-quality ‘La Canche’ French stove and an enchanting bedroom set in its very own tower – Rapunzel, eat your heart out. Nestled within a gated community in the tranquil San Rafael Hills, this home is a fifteen-minute drive from charming Pasadena and closer still to the iconic Rose Bowl Stadium, making it the perfect choice for fans of American football. After a day exploring all that Los Angeles has to offer, cook up a feast on the state-of-the-art grill and savour your handiwork alfresco on the terrace, before finishing the day with a soak in the clawfoot bathtub or sipping a beer in the hot tub.
