When people think of LA , they cogitate of beautiful people and beautiful beaches – and , thanks to J. J. Hill and vale and cities and ocean , beautiful purview too . Here are some of the best :
Nobu
MalibuIf you ’re willing to spend some big clam , Nobu offers a Grade - A iconic LA meal geminate with a Grade - A iconic horizon . The sunsets over the Malibu sea , streaked with every color you may imagine , are nothing short of legendary – and the same goes for the $ 150 omakase dinner party , ( hey , at least the sunset is free ) .
The Bonaventure
DowntownThe view from the top of the Bonaventure is stunning , day or night . This confessedly - lifeTrue Liesfilming location also sports some nifty exterior - of - the - construction elevator , and you really ca n’t call yourself an Angeleno until you ’ve ridden them . call for some liquid courage for the ascent ? They ’ve come an on - web site brewery .
Malibu Wines
MalibuThere are n’t a lot of place like Malibu Wines , the winery that ’s also a picnic smudge , that ’s also a bar , that ’s also a hiking track . The Malibu raft on the hiking will fuck up your mind , but if you ’re more in the picnic humour , the cinch dry land ( where you may bring all your own food , and order from their gigantic wine extract ) are equally as beautiful . Oh , and if you like lookin ’ at view of llamas , there ’s also a llama farm .
Helipad Yoga at the Ritz-Carlton
DowntownHelipad Yoga at the Ritz - Carlton is precisely what it go like . At 55 floors in the air , you ’ll get 360 - academic degree unobstructed survey from Downtown all the way to the ocean . And there ’s nothing good than centering yourself / finding peace / whatever yoga does for you better than with a view of all of LA .
EP & LP
West HollywoodThe view of the Hollywood Hills that you’re able to overtake from LP ’s 5,500sqft rooftop are pretty much unparalleled , peculiarly at nighttime . Literally eat some Asian - inspire street food ( like a crispy pork with chili jam , cilantro , pickled carrot & daikon bao ) and drink a tasty drink ( like a Life civilize Old Fashioned , with Nipponese whisky , cinnamon , ginger , lime hydrate zest , and cardamom bitter ) while you figuratively eat and drink in the sights that our metropolis has to offer .
The Getty Center
BrentwoodYou’re probably think that there are n’t enough free museums that you tease a roller coaster to get to the entryway of . Well , the Getty ’s tram is n’t quite a roller coaster ( at least , not with that position ) , but it ’s still fun to ride up to the top where you could overlook Brentwood , Bel Air , and even some of Topanga State Park . And did you even take the part about it being complimentary ?
The Strand House
Manhattan BeachThe Strand House remains the undisputed king of the Manhattan Beach views . Get a loading of an absolutely insane sundown as you get down on tasty treats like Sir Henry Wood - fired brussels sprouts with black garlic aioli , a knockout charcuterie spreadhead , and an all-embracing wine list .
Griffith Observatory
Griffith ParkThere ’s a rationality Griffith Observatory is famed , and it ’s not just because of that scene fromThe Rocketeer(people still commemorate that movie , correct ? ) . The views – of well , everything – from Griffith are something special , especially during any Nox of pyrotechnic , like the Fourth of July or New Years Eve .
San Gabriel Wilderness
San GabrielLittle did you know that just beyond all those toothsome dumplings , noodles , and pork posterior are an entire wilderness waiting for you to search them . If you palpate like really pushing yourself , head up shiny & other to any of these efflorescence nestled in the Angeles National Forest for a sunrise unlike anything you ’ve ever seen .
Perch
DowntownFor some rationality , it ’s remained a secret that Perch – one of Downtown ’s upright rooftop bar – has another floor above the bar with , yep , an even best view . The French - revolutionize rooftop bistro offers snack like surf - n - turf skewers , with Bearnaise sauce and cresson , and drinks like the Spicy Concombre , with gin , St.-Germain , lime juice , cucumber , and jalapeño , as well a totally galvanising sentiment of the nighttime DTLA skyline .
High Rooftop Lounge at Hotel Erwin
VeniceThe West Side really feels live when you catch the sun determine on the rooftop lounge at Hotel Erwin . And if you desire , you could get some badass view double trouble run low if you arrive at the waiting room after an equally beautiful daytime cost increase through nearby Solstice Canyon .
71 Above/SkySlide
DowntownYeah , yeah , destiny of these are Downtown , but c’m on : this newfangled eating place on the 71st floor of a massive tower OF COURSE has awesome views of the city – and it ’s in the same construction as SkySlide , the attraction that slides you down a looking glass slide over the city , where the view is n’t just out the window , it ’s under you . Bingo .
