What can you do in Los Angeles?

The City of Angels offers no shortage of internationally famous cultural and entertainment sites for any private jet charter visitor to enjoy. These are in fact the very things it’s most famous for. Here are a few of both kinds.

Griffith Observatory

Griffith Observatory

The iconic Griffith Observatory has probably appeared in more films than just about any other scientific observation facility in human history. This public observatory is operated by the City of Los Angeles for open public access and sits nestled atop Mount Hollywood in the also lovely Griffith Park. The Observatory’s planetarium includes public events, telescopes, a café, bookstore, and, most importantly, some of the finest views of the surrounding L.A. urban landscape.

Hollywood Walk of Fame

Hollywood Walk of Fame

One of the single most iconic and history-soaked landmarks in Los Angeles is the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A walk down this stretch of street delivers nearly 100 years of Hollywood star history from the Golden Age of the major studios right up to the present day. A tour of the Walk lets you take in the sight of decades of literal celebrity handprints from some of the most famous faces that this city has ever brought to worldwide fame.

The Sunset Strip

The Sunset Strip

In a city so full of legendary landmarks that it’s hard to name only a few, the Sunset Strip is one of the most famous. This culturally unique stretch of Sunset Boulevard extends for 1.5 miles and offers a stunning wealth of music venues, nightlife, luxury boutiques, gourmet restaurants and unique hotels. Nearly every corner of the Strip is saturated with Hollywood history and its bars deliver incredible views of the surrounding city along with their award-winning cocktails.

Where should you stay in Los Angeles?

In a city so full of unusual, cool, hip and exquisitely luxurious hotel options, it’s hard to name just a few that stand out, but they exist. Here are some of the most interesting hospitality options in this one-of-a-kind star-studded city.

Hotel Bel-Air

Hotel Bel-Air

The Hotel Bel-Air’s secluded, exquisite service caters to your needs from inside an elegantly Mediterranean complex of buildings from the 1920s. Spacious suites, a swan lake, lush gardens and a full-service spa all complete a picture of refreshing retreat from the surrounding city without actually having to leave it. The hotel complex is in fact nestled into a sprawling 12 acres of garden space inside of which fine dining, lively cocktail evenings and superbly attentive concierge service are waiting to be explored.

Shutters on the Beach

Shutters on the Beach

Want a chance to sit poolside or by the bar with visiting celebrities while you take in the beachside views? Then Shutters on the Beach is an ideal choice. This resort-like hotel in Santa Monica offers lovely seaside rooms and suites, a selection of top-tier restaurants and absolutely exquisite cocktail lounge options for a truly relaxing Los Angeles experience that takes you completely away from the city’s famous urban sprawl without having to travel inconveniently far. Shutters delivers impeccable concierge service and is absolutely built with breezy luxury as a priority.

The Peninsula Beverly Hills

The Peninsula Beverly Hills

Located right in the star-studded heart of Los Angeles, The Peninsula Beverly Hills is a truly luxurious hotel that also offers an oasis-like tranquillity of beautiful accommodations, personalised service and five-star rooms with all the amenities you could want. This hotel is beautiful inside and outside and wonderfully located just a short walk from the world-famous Rodeo Drive. The Peninsula’s luxury courtesy cars are also on standby to take you wherever you need to go, be it a trip into the business district for executive duties or for an excursion to Beverly Hills.

Where should you eat in Los Angeles?

Just as in everything else, Los Angeles absolutely exceeds all normal bounds when it comes to fine dining. The city is one of the world’s absolute premiere dining locations and even a brief consideration of your options makes this obvious. It’s almost impossible to name just a few truly exceptional restaurants.

Bistro 1759

If any one single Los Angeles dining experience really can be said to encompass the city, then Bistro 1759 pulls it off, literally. This gourmet restaurant offers its visitors a ride around town atop the famous Grove Trolley as they enjoy their lunch or dinner selections. Menu items include grilled delicacies, sushi and seafood options, and, of course, a very accommodating vegan/vegetarian selection of dishes. There is, of course, also a fine cocktail and wine menu on hand.

Guerrilla Tacos

Don't let the seemingly simple notion of a taco restaurant fool you. The Michelin-rated Guerrilla Tacos offers a truly unique and absolutely delicious gourmet taco dining experience that combines classical Mexican cuisine with a brashly tasty touch of contemporary fusion. Guerrilla's offerings are numerous and deeply flavorful, with exotic combinations of fish, meats, vegetables and assorted exotic ingredients mixed with freshly selected local produce and seafood. What better choice for a casual afternoon meal or light dinner than cuisine inspired by one of the most influential cultures in Los Angeles?

Tomoko Spa

Imagine a dining experience that also includes indulging in a luxury combination of relaxing massages conducted by exquisitely trained professionals. This is what Tomoko Spa offers, and it takes its task seriously. Their menu of refreshingly delicious sushi and other Japanese cuisine options is one of the best in the city, while the massages themselves are known for alleviating exactly the kinds of aches and pains that a long-distance trip can cause. After your own massage, enjoy the unique pleasure of relaxing into a kimono and sitting down for a lovely platter of freshly cut sushi.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Los Angeles airport is the most convenient for private jet travellers?

It depends on where you are headed. Van Nuys (VNY) is the busiest private jet airport in the U.S. and ideal for Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and the San Fernando Valley. Burbank (BUR) works well for access to Hollywood Studios and downtown. Hawthorne (HHR) is efficient for the Westside and Silicon Beach. LAX is the best choice if you are connecting with long-haul commercial flights.

What visa or entry requirements apply when flying private into Los Angeles?

All travellers flying privately to Los Angeles must comply with U.S. entry rules. Nationals of Visa Waiver Program countries may visit for up to 90 days using an ESTA travel authorisation obtained before departure. Other travellers must apply for a B-1/B-2 visa in advance. Passports should be valid for the duration of the stay and contain blank pages for entry stamps. LunaJets will verify your specific requirements and ensure all documents are in order.

How far in advance should I book a private jet to Los Angeles?

For Los Angeles, it is advisable to book several weeks in advance, especially during awards season in February and March, around major events such as the Oscars or the Grammys, and during holiday periods like Thanksgiving and Christmas. These peaks create heavy demand at L.A. airports including Van Nuys, LAX, and Burbank. LunaJets often secures flights to Los Angeles at short notice, but advance planning ensures the best aircraft and slots.

Are there curfews or restricted operating hours for private jets in Los Angeles airports?

Yes—restrictions depend on which airport you use. Van Nuys (VNY) operates under a noise-ordinance that limits departures of noisier aircraft (Stage 2) between 22:00 and 07:00, and encourages quiet operations between 23:00-07:00 via its Quieter Nights program. LAX is open 24/7 for arrivals and departures, but engine run-ups, maintenance activities, and ground operations are restricted overnight (23:00-06:00) unless expressly approved. Your LunaJets advisor will align your flight time with the regulations at your chosen airport.

Can I bring my pet on a private flight to Los Angeles?

Yes, you can bring pets on a private jet to Los Angeles. Dogs must be at least 6 months old, microchipped, vaccinated against rabies, and documented via the CDC Dog Import Form. Cats do not need CDC rabies paperwork, but local rules may require rabies vaccination and a health certificate. If your dog has recently been in a high-risk rabies country, arrival must be through an airport with a CDC-registered animal care facility, such as Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). LunaJets will confirm the latest requirements and ensure all paperwork is compliant before your flight.
