We Culturites are just coming off the high of a successful event in L.A. where we hosted an exhibit of Yvan Rodic’s (a.k.a The Facehunter) street style photographs in a private penthouse at the W Residences in West Hollywood with a very full house of interesting and over the top chic Angelenos.  Here are some of our favourite spots in the city:

Sleep: Sunset Tower Hotel (8358 Sunset Blvd., 323-654-7100, sunsettowerhotel.com)  Stay here for the old world charm, un-pretentious service, the chicken apple breakfast sausage and the intimate pool area and patio (jazz music included). The rooms are comfortable and well appointed, and who knows, you may even spot Jennifer Aniston (word has it that this is her home away from home). The Sunset Tower has always been a favorite hang-out for Hollywood royalty.

Eat: Pace (2100 Laurel Canyon Blvd., 323-654-8583, peaceinthecanyon.com) Named for the Italian word for peace, Pace is a unassuming little joint nestled in Laurel Canyon. Though low-key in atmosphere, it manages to pack a large punch when it comes to its customers and menu. It’s a favorite for the young celebrity set, but there’s not one paparazzo in sight–imagine that!

The Auteurs (theauteurs.com). For a monthly stipend you can become a film buff in no time. The Auteurs is like Criterion Collection-meets-LimeWire. Pay by the film or by the month for high-quality, online cinema-on-demand. Soon you’ll be dropping references at dinner parties from the Coppolas to Cronenberg and the Coen brothers.
