This weekend, more than during the other days of the year, Los Angeles is the perfect destination to meet our favourite celebs. With the Oscars approaching, in fact, this is the perfect weekend to feel like a star and go to the places where we see our paparazzi celebs all year round. Brunches on the ocean, exclusive clubs and iconic hotels are the spots to spot them. Justin and Hailey Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Kim Kardashian and many others could indeed be your table neighbours at lunch, exciting right? But we at The Blonde Salad have gone even deeper, and we have selected some places where the meeting with the star is guaranteed. Do you want to discover them? Pin these places on your map:
IVY RESTAURANT
Located at 113 N by Robertson Blvd, Ivy has become the favourite lunch spot for some of our celebs, Chiara Ferragni, to name one, was just there a few days ago. Ivy Restaurants is a super cute chain of restaurants, offering American and Italian food, fused with typical local dishes based on where the restaurant is located. In the case of the one in Los Angeles, a colourful patio made of flowers and lights welcomes you; at the entrance, you will be transported to the atmosphere of the old trattorias, with painted plates hanging on the walls and flowers everywhere. But let’s move on to serious things: what can you taste at Ivy? To name a few: crab cake, Pizza, swordfish tacos, fried chicken, enchiladas and much, much more!
SOHO HOUSE
The 9200 W Sunset Blvd Soho House is a super exclusive club where access seems to be reserved only and exclusively for Hollywood stars. Not that it is not an excellent opportunity to do “celebrities watching” but in case you were lucky enough to be able to access it, remember that taking pictures is forbidden inside! But what is Soho House? Founded in London in 1995, Soho is a private club for those who work in the “creative industries”. Only in Los Angeles, there are three, but our favourite is that of West Hollywood consisting of a bar, lounge, garden terrace, Middle Eastern restaurant and a club where you can have exclusive parties. What a dream!
CHATEAU MARMONT
Do you know the song Castle on The Hill by Ed Sheeran? Here is the hotel Chateau Marmont reflects exactly that imaginary: a fabulous castle on the most famous hill in the world. Upon check-in, you will feel like you are in the middle of a party in a European country estate. Terraces with wicker chairs, jazz in the background, huge sofas and a fantastic restaurant. It is a place perfectly associated with the concept of luxury and glam, not surprisingly, Kim Kardashian and family often meet for various business meetings! If you really cannot stay, go there for a happy hour, the unforgettable experience is guaranteed.
BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL
Another Iconic Hotel in Los Angeles, perhaps the most iconic, is the Beverly Hills Hotel. Getting there in front of you catapults you into an 80’s American sitcom, where pink and tall palm trees are the masters. Out there you can see most of the celebs hosted at the Oscars, check-in and show off their unmistakably made in the USA style. But wait to see the rooms! Between tall trees and 12 acres of tropical gardens, the Beverly Hills bungalows are something unique in the world.
MELROSE AVENUE
Melrose Ave is the promenade you cannot give up, among its boutiques, luxurious cars and the very high avenue of palm trees, it is considered the beating heart of Los Angeles. For a quick lunch there and a last-minute shopping session, you can meet Kendall Jenner, Miley Cyrus, Dakota Johnson, Selena Gomez and many many others!
DOG POUND
Dog Pound seems to have become the most popular gym for L.A. celebs So if you are a work out addicted too, the perfect place to train close to stars like Justin Bieber is just that. Ah, and of course followed by some of the best personal trainers in the world!
MALIBU FARM
The Malibu Farm, located on the Malibu Pier, is a spot that has started to be frequented by celebrities more and more. Surf Addicted, in particular, make us a fixed stop, Chris Hemsworth to name one, is a surf addicted and spends his lunch breaks right here. Do you want not to take at least a very fast break admiring his abs on the beach? Well, we wouldn’t miss it and also, let’s not forget that the Malibu Farm is the perfect place to enjoy fresh and super healthy food … not to mention the decor! In our opinion, the coolest of the moment, see for yourself!
