If you’ve never traveled to or vacationed in Southern California, you’re missing out on the experience of a lifetime. Boasting beautiful, sun-soaked beaches, endless entertainment options, popular shops and vibrant nightlife, it’s hardly a surprise that SoCal draws millions of travelers year-round. The area comprises Los Angeles and San Diego – the two most populous cities in the state – as well as Anaheim, which is almost synonymous with the Disneyland Resort.
The mere mention of Los Angeles brings to mind images of movie stars and the iconic Hollywood sign perched atop Mount Lee. But L.A. is also home to such sought-after attractions as the J. Paul Getty Museum, Kodak Theater, LA Fashion District and Griffith Park. No trip to San Diego, some 120 miles from the City of Angels, is complete without a visit to Balboa Park, the San Diego Zoo and the 16-block Gaslamp Quarter, whose shops, restaurants and festivals entice travelers the world over. And if you’re thinking of stealing away to Anaheim, you can take in a movie and enjoy a game of bowling with friends at The Shops at Anaheim GardenWalk before catching an Angels game at Angel Stadium. All three cities, in fact, are hotbeds for sports; professional teams with a strong fan following include the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, San Diego Chargers and Anaheim Ducks. If you’re a devoted thrill seeker, you will find a bevy of exciting theme parks in each city, from Universal Studios Hollywood in Los Angeles to SeaWorld San Diego to Adventure City – a smaller, less crowded alternative to the Disneyland Resort – in Anaheim.
If you’re looking for Southern California hotels, whether of the five-star or budget variety, you’ll be happy to know that Los Angeles, San Diego and Anaheim offer scores of them to suit every budget. For one, Los Angeles has a broad range of fine hotels in or near Sunset Boulevard, Beverly Hills and other major areas. A myriad of Anaheim hotels on Getaroom.com are within walking distance of the Disneyland Resort and Knott’s Berry Farm. What’s more, we have hotels in San Diego that put you within minutes of the San Diego Zoo, PETCO Park, and the historic Gaslamp Quarter.
