Sunset Boulevard is one of the most the most famous spots in Los Angeles. At 22 miles long, it begins in Downtown LA and finishes at the Pacific Coast Highway, snaking through Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Brentwood and UCLA. If you are looking to explore every inch of the Boulevard, it’s best that you hire a car, so you use your time to explore rather than travelling. The first place to start with is the Sunset Strip, a 1.7 mile section that would easily swallow a whole day of your trip with its vast amount of shops, bars and iconic sites such as The Comedy Store and The Viper Room. The Viper Room can be found a mere 8 minutes from Hotel 850 SVB California and it was once owned by Johnny Depp. It was the haunt for many celebrities at the time, however, it is more known for being the place where talented young actor River Phoenix died of a drug overdose. The Sunset Strip has a fascinating past that mixes gangsters with rock stars and, because it wasn’t under any police jurisdiction, it was known for its debauchery and loose morals. Today the Strip has cleaned up its act and is a firm favourite with visitors and locals alike.

Sunset Junction can be found on the east side of the Boulevard and has been dubbed the site for trendy hipster celebrities.
