Treat yourself to a last minute in town getaway.

Country in the City

Looking for some “down-home hospitality”? Wrangle up the crew and head to the Farmer’s Daughter Boutique Hotel on Fairfax. Everything from the country-style rooms to the welcome you receive (fresh lemonade and homemade BBQ potato chips) reflects the charisma this hotel intends to capture. And if you’re craving some good ol’ Southern eats, visit Tart, its onsite restaurant, for Southern Fried (free-range) Chicken or Truffle Mac and Cheese. Why? If Southern eating ain’t your thing, visit the Farmers Market located right across the street.

Location: 115 South Fairfax Avenue, Los Angeles 90036 (map).

What an Ace

The Ace Hotel in Palm Springs is only a short drive down the 10. Have yourself one jolly good time as you laugh your way through Heebonism, a “Jewish Christmas Eve Comedy Night” event. Come Saturday morning, put your gifts aside and the holiday music on (much needed) pause, and mellow out with a yoga class in the clubhouse. If weather permits, spend the rest of the day relaxing by the pool, chowing down on some vegetarian grub from King’s Highway, followed by an evening of dancing and crafting in the Amigo Room. Why? All the holiday fun you can handle wrapped up in one swanky hotel.

A Staycation From it All

Business will be the last thing on your mind when you get a look at the uber chic décor and take note of the numerous eco-friendly amenities at Hotel Palomar in Westwood. Spend the weekend relaxing in a luxuriously chic room, all of which are 100% smoke-free with recycling bins, water-efficient fixtures and a mini-bar stocked with organic goods. Plus enjoy seasonal, local produce and sustainable meat and seafood at Blvd 16, complimented by an earthy cocktail or your choice. Why? No need to worry about finding Fido a sitter – this hotel is pet-friendly!

A Hotel For All Seasons

With its splendid holiday décor, plush guestrooms and absolutely delightful staff, Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills is the perfect place to getaway, without leaving L.A. Spend Christmas Eve schmoozing and boozing (this is the Holiday weekend, after all) at Windows Lounge, and recuperate the following morning with a delectable Christmas brunch featuring fresh and organic eats at Culina, Modern Italian. Why? Give the gift of pure holiday joy and treat your girlfriend or boyfriend to a heavenly spa treatment, such as the Manipura experience with organic products.
