Historic Hotels in Southern California
Southern California is celebrated today for its dazzling historic glamour. Many locations listed on the National Register of Historic Places reflect this mystique, including the Broadway Theater and Commercial District, the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District, the Hollywood Palladium, the Crossroads of the World, and the Old Warner Brothers Studio. Additional historic sites proliferate throughout the region that chronicle its humbler origins as a frontier territory, like the Los Angeles Plaza Historic District, the Mission San Gabriel Arcángel, Mission San Juan Capistrano, and Fort Tejon State Historic Park. Southern California also features a gorgeous landscape that ranges from fantastic beaches—such as the famed Santa Monica Pier—to the rugged Death Valley National Park.
