The City of Angels: home to sun, sea, city, and your favorite famous faces.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a great<\/em> location for a company getaway\u2014whether you\u2019re a native Angeleno or traveling from another city or state. There\u2019s plenty on offer, from sight seeing to sun soaking to celeb spotting.\u00a0<\/p>\n Whatever you\u2019re looking for: LA has it. Here are our top ten picks for planning a company retreat your team will never forget.\u00a0<\/p>\n 5 Neighborhoods perfect for your next corporate retreat in Los Angeles<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n Venice Beach needs no introduction\u2014the famous neighborhood located on the Southern California coast has everything your team needs for a jam-packed trip. Spend the afternoon meandering around the Venice canals, check out the locals shredding the famous big bowls down at Venice skatepark, or take a stroll down the promenade to Santa Monica Pier.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking to do more than soak up the sun, head over to Venice\u2019s most stylish block\u2014Abbot Kinney Boulevard\u2014for some of the best boutiques, galleries, restaurants, and bars in LA.\u00a0<\/p>\n One thing\u2019s for sure when considering West Hollywood for your next company retreat: you\u2019re not short of options when it comes to engaging activities, tours, and events. From a stroll along the famous Sunset Strip to a night out at the Comedy Store\u2014WeHo (as the locals call it) keeps you entertained night and day.<\/p>\n You might have heard of the first two, but Echo Park is a lesser-known area of LA. Located slightly north-east of WeHo, Echo Park offers a different type of retreat to the tourist hot spots of Venice and WeHo.<\/p>\n You can grab some great views of the LA skyline from Echo Park\u2014especially while hiking in the nearby Elysian Park. It\u2019s the ideal spot for a team of foodie, artsy, adventurers who want to discover more than the glitz and glam of Hollywood in LA.<\/p>\n If your team loves culture, world-renowned art, and delicious food\u2014Miracle Mile is the place to be. So named due to its \u2018improbable rise to prominence\u2019, Miracle Mile is a great base for checking out LA\u2019s best museums and art galleries, while also having plenty of options for top-notch food and drink.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a safer bet than venturing further to the west of Central LA, but it’s perfectly located for checking these areas out during the day; we suggest a trip to Koreatown for some Korean barbeque!<\/p>\n Los Feliz\u2014located between the Hollywood Hills and the hipster haven, Silver Lake\u2014is a relaxing spot that has everything you could ask for. From beautiful hikes that lead to stunning views of the Hollywood sign to mingling with the locals\u2014many of whom are well-known, A-list celebs\u2014at the quaint bars and restaurants in Los Feliz Village, Los Feliz is a relaxing respite from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n 5 Hotels for a team building retreat to remember <\/p>\n<\/h2>\n The Andaz\u2019s playful and sociable spirit makes enjoying the gorgeous rooftop pool all the more fun\u2014whether splashing about in LA\u2019s highest pool or taking in the incredible views. As retreat locations go, it\u2019s pretty high on the list of perfect locations.\u00a0<\/p>\n Many of WeHo\u2019s main attractions lie only a couple minutes walk away, and the complimentary wine hour from six \u2018til seven provides a nice opportunity to meet and mingle with your team before hitting the town.<\/p>\n If you head a little further East into Central Hollywood, you\u2019ll find the Kimpton Everly Hotel. It\u2019s the closest hotel to the Hollywood sign, and also boasts an incredible view from its rooftop pool and bar area.<\/p>\n This centrally-located gem is great value for money in LA, and provides a laid-back, relaxed base for your team to return to after a day of exploring. You\u2019ll need to arrange transport for trips out, but it\u2019s ideal if you\u2019re planning to explore lots of LA.<\/p>\n This award-winning, hotel-hostel hybrid is one of the coolest places to stay in Downtown LA, and is just four blocks away from the historic Grand Central Market. This perfect location means you\u2019re never far from amazing bars and restaurants, and you\u2019re also only 20-40 mins away from LAX (depending on the notorious LA traffic).<\/p>\n The communal areas in the hotel are a great place to connect with your team members\u2014whether brainstorming business ideas or getting to know each other. You’re also located near many coworking and meeting spaces\u2014this spot is the perfect place for a stay in Downtown LA.<\/p>\n \u200b\u200b<\/p>\n Silver Lake Pool & Inn is the perfect spot for a relaxing corporate getaway. It\u2019s located in the hip area of Silver Park, a great midpoint between busy Hollywood and more laid-back Echo Park. It\u2019s close to both Dodger Stadium and Griffith Observatory\u2014two must-see landmarks in LA.<\/p>\n The rooftop pool is a main attraction\u2014as are the beautiful rooms, some of which look out onto the Hollywood sign and <\/em>Griffith Observatory. You’re also not too far from Los Feliz, which is full of independent stores, bars, and restaurants to enjoy a taste of a more authentic LA.<\/p>\n Looking for a cool spot to connect that\u2019s literal steps<\/em> away from the beach? Look no further than the Venice on the Beach Hotel. It\u2019s conveniently located on the seafront, offering fantastic ocean views. Even better, it\u2019s only a two-minute walk from the pier and a seven-minute walk from the historic Venice Canals.<\/p>\n The hotel offers multiple outdoor spaces and patios on which to soak up the sun, as well as a friendly on-site team who are more than happy to provide suggestions for making the most out of Venice and Santa Monica.<\/p>\n If that wasn\u2019t enough for you, we\u2019ve rounded up a few more hotels to consider that didn\u2019t make our top five, but still well-worth considering:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Los Angeles is one of the Golden State\u2019s crown jewels\u2014and it\u2019s not hard to understand why.
