The LA Insider Weekend

Beverly Hills and the canyons, the city's best tables and a day on the coast — Los Angeles at its most effortless. From around US$10,000. A private, tailored journey of 4-5 days in Los Angeles, United States, designed end to end by a Forest Travel advisor — with Virtuoso privileges at the finest luxury hotels, from US$11,000 per traveler.

A single country that holds the ocean glamour of Miami, the canyon light of California, the cultural heights of New York and the vast wilderness of the West.

When to go

November through April is finest, when Florida and the Southwest bask in warm, dry days while the Northeast turns crisp and luminous. Your advisor times it to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.

The experiences

A sense of what this journey can hold — each one arranged privately and shaped to you:

• A private drive through Beverly Hills and the canyons, the city read from the hills above it.
• The city's best tables held for you, from the celebrated dining rooms to the quiet neighborhood favorites.
• A day on the coast at Malibu, from the beach to a lunch above the Pacific.
• A private guide to the galleries and design of the moment, on the schedule you keep.

A sense of the rhythm

Los Angeles rewards a relaxed pace: mornings in the canyons, afternoons toward the coast, evenings at the right table. Four or five nights let the city reveal itself without hurry. Everything moves by private car, so the distances never intrude.

The hills or the coast?

You can anchor the weekend in Beverly Hills and the canyons, close to the tables and the galleries. Or lean toward the coast, with Malibu and the ocean at the center. We shape the days around whichever side of the city you want to wake up in.

How to do it well

The counsel our advisors give travelers planning this journey:

• Book the sought-after tables early; the best rooms in Los Angeles fill weeks ahead.
• Keep a private car and driver throughout, so the city's distances become part of the pleasure.
• Take the canyons in the morning light, before the day warms and the roads fill.
• Reserve one open afternoon for the discovery we suggest once we know your interests.

What only your advisor can open

The difference between a good trip and an unrepeatable one is access — and access is a relationship, not a booking. Every guide, room and moment is chosen and sequenced for you.

Who it's for

Travelers who value privacy, time and doing it once — beautifully — and who would rather have one trusted advisor orchestrate every detail than assemble it themselves.

Estimated investment

From US$11,000 per traveler, based on double occupancy — scaled to your dates, party size and level of privacy. A starting point, not a final quote; confirmed once your advisor tailors the itinerary.

Designed entirely around you

Nothing here is a package. A Forest Travel advisor shapes the whole journey and stays one message away before and throughout your trip.

As a Virtuoso member, Forest Travel includes benefits reserved for Virtuoso guests at the finest luxury hotels, at no added cost: a room upgrade on arrival when available, daily breakfast for two, a property credit toward dining or spa, and early check-in with late check-out when the hotel allows.
