Mr. C in the same area. Your best bet is to stay in pico. Tons of restaurants with adas Torah and merkaz hatorah kollel smack in the middle.

Residence Inn is a dump. The Sofitel hotel is a bit of a walk, but very nice.

PM me for an incredible Airbnb that is literally in the backyard of a rabbi! Kosher kitchen, close to all the kosher restaurants along Pico.

6 twin beds + a couch

Isn't Sofitel near the Beverly Center. What shul is walking distance?

Does the Sofitel have full kitchen and separate bedrooms the way the Residence Inn does? Are they as Shabbos aware and Shabbos friendly? do they have a free breakfast too?

Beverly Hills Marriott is in the Pico Robertson District. I am sure there is a minyan within close proximity if that is the issue.

Thanks for all replies. The airbnb would be perfect but is not available for when I want to go. The hotels were either not available or too expensive since I would need 2 rooms.

Any other suggestions?

Does anyone know the mask situation in Los Angeles and surrounding areas?

Can anyone recommend places to eat and attractions?

Thanks you.

Los Angeles has so many potential attractions so it would be helpful if you posted what your interests are - whether you are traveling with children - how old they are etc.

You theoretically have all of the cultural attractions of a large city like museums of all kinds; the beach and hiking trails; touristy type of sight seeing stuff; Universal and Disneyland;

There are so excellent and unique restaurants. I think the Kosher Thai restaurant in Beverly Hills is probably the one that is one of a kind in the US but there are also delicious restaurants from casual cafes, Mexican, gourmet sausage place plus fancy fleishig type of places.

You might check out Lenny's Casita which is a relatively new addition

Welcome to Lenny's Casita

Mexicali street food concept by culinary creator Chef Lenny (Charcoal, Doma Land + Sea, Alenbi, Mike’s Bistro). Sister to Lenny’s Bazaar, the Casita blends authentic Mexican street food with Chef Lenny’s California roots and fine-dining experience to create a unique taqueria that can only be described as MexiCali. Glatt Kosher under the OK supervision.

They have tacos (a family style DIY taco kit) as well as other very interesting choices.

ETA - Got Kosher in the Pico district has absolutely delicious pretzel challah and also very good Moroccan/Tunisian cuisine

Ginsberg’s shul. It’s a lot of short blocks and it’s about a 20 minute walk. Not too bad.

OP maybe find a cheap hotel further away and splurge for shabbos.

If you can fly into Burbank airport, that is closer and easier to navigate since it is smaller. Otherwise it would be LAX which is on the other side of the Santa Monica mountains.

If you have been vaccinated, you would be reasonably safe. My family and friends wear masks when inside public spaces. I don’t feel comfortable inside eating in a restaurant but weather is fine for eating outside if you are in the shade. I don’t wear a mask if I am walking outside in a non crowded situation.

Frankly if I weren’t vaccinated I would nit want to travel at this point but at least the number of cases in California is lower than some of the states like Missouri which have low vaccination rates.

I don’t have specific recommendations for Encino hotels but if you book a room in a chain located on Ventura Boulevard you would be fine.
