Los Angeles is America’s second-biggest city. It's on the wish-list of every globetrotter for many things including Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Sunset Strip, the original Disneyland, the Dodgers and the Lakers. Apart from the sunshine-soaked beach culture, glamour-studded surfing sessions, and of course, the mandatory celeb-spotting.
In 1927, J. Willard Marriott opened the nine-stool root beer stand in Washington D.C. that grew into the Hot Shoppes Restaurant chain and evolved into today's Marriott International hotel company. The group has over 30 brands in its stable including Ritz-Carlton, JW Marriott, St Regis, W Collection, Autograph Collection and The Luxury Collection.
