It’s an exciting time in Los Angeles, which is home to some of the most prestigious awards shows, including the American Music Awards, The Golden Globes, The GRAMMY’s and The Oscars®. To celebrate the season of the stars, select hotels in the city are extending the VIP treatment to guests with perks like a training session with a celebrity fitness expert, luxury transportation for paparazzi-ready excursions, special Wolfgang Puck dining experiences and a statuette to take home to commemorate an award-wining vacation.
