Dukes, Malibu
Welcome to my blog post on suggestions of things to do if you have one day in Los Angeles! My grandmother and mom visited, so the feel we were going for was relaxing, beautiful, stimulating, yet chic. Below are the 3 places we went to for one beautiful day in L.A. Also, scroll down for the pics!
LA in-a-day itinerary:
—> The 3 Places: Duke’s Malibu, the Getty Villa, and the Beverly Hilton.
Lunch at Duke’s Malibu in Malibu, overlooking the ocean.
Duke’s restaurant is right beside the ocean and right off the PCH highway. The booths right next to the window have beautiful views of the waves, and sometimes you can see dolphins. Duke’s has brunch on Sunday’s, outside seating, and a bar. It’s a great restaurant for families as well as friends. I ordered a cold brew coffee in a glass bottle and a vegetarian burger :) I loved it. Check out Duke’s in Malibu website here. Duke’s is also close by the Getty Villa, where we went after lunch.
Museum day at The Getty Villa in Pacific Palisades.
Next, we went to The Getty Villa. The Getty Villa is a beautiful museum in itself and features ancient Greek and Roman art. It’s located in the Pacific Palisades overlooking the ocean. It is perfect for spending a day with friends or with family. The museum is free, but you need to make a reservation beforehand. Check out the Getty Villa website here.
Check-in at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
After our day spent in Malbu at Duke’s and the Getty Villa, we headed for check-in at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, which is about an hour drive away from Malibu. The Beverly Hilton is known for its history in Hollywood, and hosts annual Grammy’s parties and the Golden Globes, and more. The Beverly Hilton has a restaurant by the pool, a bar, a modern spa with cryotherapy chambers, a beautiful pool, event spaces, and the rooms have beautiful views of Los Angeles. Check out the Beverly Hilton Hotel website here.
Dinner at the Beverly Hilton outside by the pool.
Since the restaurant at the Beverly Hilton is already chic and fun, we had dinner outside by the pool. The food is amazing. I ordered a vegetarian pizza and had a velvet chocolate dessert. Sitting outside at the Beverly Hilton is also so relaxing, they have a fun old fashioned iconic bar that’s outside by the pool. The hotel gave me a to-go box for my pizza, which is super cute. Scroll all the way down for a pic of the pizza box <3
Breakfast at the Beverly Hilton outside by the pool.
In the morning, we had breakfast by the pool of the Beverly Hilton again, since it’s so nice to sit outside there by the palm trees and pool and we were also looking for some relaxation to our one day Los Angeles trip. The Beverly Hilton provides enough fun to stay there and enjoy anyway. However, for the last part of the day for your one day/one night in LA and want to try somewhere different for breakfast, the Beverly Hilton is located near tons of restaurants in downtown Beverly Hills by Rodeo. It’s walking distance from the hotel if you like to take a half-mile walk, or, it is a very short drive.
The end of a relaxing, beautiful, stimulating yet chic stay of one day /one-night stay in Los Angeles!
