Westin Bonaventure Hotel
Once we got back to California, we stayed at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel. The Bonaventure is the largest hotel in Los Angeles. Construction was completed in 1976. The hotel has numerous glass elevators that travel on the outside of the structure with spectacular views. The top floor is a revolving restaurant. It has been used for many movies including movies like True Lies with Arnold Swartzeneger, Nick of Time with Jonny Depp, Mission Impossible III with Tom Cruise, Hancock with Will Smith, Blue Thunder, Forget Paris, Strange Days, Hard to Kill, and many more. We had adjoining rooms which seemed palatial after the tiny rooms of the ship. It was beautiful to sleep in the sky with nothing but glass between us and the lights of the Los Angeles skyline.
