Los Angeles Athletic Club
Founded in 1880, the LAAC has a storied history as the gathering place of Hollywood legends. An air of mystery and old bourgeoisie lingers, and is reinforced by the presence of local politicos. Besides every top-shelf exercise machine, sports court and a heated pool, this club has two restaurants, two bars and a poolside continental breakfast. You can also rent a room at the sports club’s own hotel located next door.
