Trip Itinerary
Los Angeles
Malibu Coastline
Mondrian Los Angeles
Day 1: Los Angeles
You will be provided with a pre-departure package which will include all necessary information that you will need for your trip including materials such as vouchers, maps, train tickets (if relevant) etc.
Take a private airport transfer in Los Angeles with a private vehicle and driver.
You will have the freedom to explore the best LA has to offer with your private car and driver at your disposal.
Start with a 60 minutes flight in the amazing AStar Eurocopter from where you’ll see it all! Downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, the coastlines of Santa Monica, and so much more -- even a comprehensive and breathtaking tour of their quintessential beach town, Malibu! You’ll see the hillside mansions and oceanfront estates of the stars in a way that few others ever will! Continue with a ride in their luxury conversion van, exploring and visiting many of the same locations you viewed from the air! You`ll see world famous Hollywood sign (up close and personal of course!), the movie stars’ hand and footprints in cement at the historic and legendary Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, the beautifully landscaped, spectacular homes of your favorite celebrities in Beverly Hills and Bel-Air, the breathtaking southern California beaches and coastline…and so much more!
Accommodation: Mondrian Los Angeles Experience a bold new Mondrian in the heart of West Hollywood, rejuvenated by Benjamin Noriega Ortiz. This new incarnation of one of the original luxury boutique hotels draws its inspiration from the serene coastal landscapes of Southern California and captures everything the Sunset Strip stands for – excitement, invincibility and glamour. Entering Mondrian through its signature, thirty-foot mahogany doors, guests are bathed in a sensuous daylight that highlights the creamy whites and warm marigold palette of the entryway. Progressing into the lobby, the sun sets. Day becomes night and reality becomes fantasy as Noriega-Ortiz invites the imagination down the proverbial rabbit hole. Deep blues and purples surround the space, complimented by custom-designed furniture, including a Lucite indoor swing and a mushroom-inspired concierge center.
Grauman's Chinese Theatre
LA at night
Day 2: Los Angeles
You will have the freedom to explore the best LA has to offer with your private car and driver at your disposal.
Hollywood Boulevard is the stuff of legends, but it may not be what you expect. You won't find movie stars walking the streets, and most of the movie studios moved out years ago, and frankly, this part of Hollywood is one of the most touristy spots in all of Los Angeles. It's also the home of the Walk of Fame, footprints at Grauman's Chinese Theatre and Hollywood at Highland shopping/dining complex. Spend the afternoon shopping for souvenirs, then have dinner at one of the many restaurants at the Hollywood and HIghland complex.
When the sun sets in the City of Angels, the stars come out to play! After meeting your personal guide in the lobby of your hotel, a night ride will take you through West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip and glittering Beverly Hills to experience the exciting Los Angeles nightlife!
After a private night ride around West Hollywood or Beverley Hills with your personal guide, enjoy a friendly dinner and live music in the City of Angels.
Accommodation: Mondrian Los Angeles

Blige, Simon Cowell, Josh Groban and many more made appearances at the 2011 event. Come dressed to the nines, and mingle with the stars. Don’t miss out!
