Staying overnight in Los Angeles can be expensive, but you'll find a full range of accommodations from budget lodgings to the most luxurious hotels imaginable. Because of the city's notoriously heavy traffic, try to stay somewhat close to the areas you're most interested in. If a swimming pool is important, don't worry: L.A. has many. Some hotels provide transportation to local attractions, and many hotels offer child care, smoke-free rooms and multilingual staffs.
