With gorgeous beaches, sprawling movie sets, world-class museums and trendy nightclubs, LA’s venues give planners’ imaginations room to play. HOLLYWOOD – The red carpet truly rolls out when you host your business in the entertainment capital of the world. Events held here are sure to pique your guests’ interest, and all the meeting spaces, business centers and hotels are close to downtown, with easy access to the Metro. Visitors can enjoy everything from studio tours at Paramount, celebrity-frequented restaurants and eclectic shopping to concerts at the historic Hollywood Bowl and a memorable stop at an iconic landmark. And there’re always thrills to be had at Universal Studios Hollywood, featuring Transformers™: The Ride-3D.
