Minutes from the Sunset Strip, you can a take leisurely stroll to explore the boutiques, restaurants and bars whenever you like. If you're a film fanatic, this is the place for you. Pay a visit to the famous Greystone Mansion, which has provided the backdrop to numerous flicks, then head back home to watch those very movies in the home cinema.

However you choose to spend your days, you're bound to look forward to coming home thanks to the infinity pool. Re-energise with a swim, then rest and recharge in the Jacuzzi. This terrace was simply made for alfresco dinners, and what could be more American than a barbecue? The outdoor kitchen makes preparing family meals a dream. Post-dinner, head indoors to sink into the plush sofas, complete with fluffy designer throws.
