Other accommodations

Los Angeles is a sprawling, conglomerate Southern California city where one can expect to spend any amount of time in traffic. The city has a public transportation system, however it can be very time consuming to navigate such a large city this way.
If you choose to find accommodation other than Hotel Angeleno, we highly recommend staying as close as possible to Getty Center or close to a bus line that will bring you directly to the museum. The neighborhoods which would be convenient are (in order from closest to furthest): Brentwood, Sawtelle, Westwood, and Santa Monica.
