From the time Los Angeles was founded in 1781 to 1820, the population of the settlement spiked to six hundred and fifty citizens. Even though by today's standards it seems to be an insignificant number, it was the largest civilian city in Spanish California at the time. Mexico took control of the area in 1821, which only lasted until 1847 after the American Mexican war. After some squabbling over California territories between America and Europe, California became a part of the United States in 1850. Los Angeles has since grown considerably and is a hub of cultural activity. One particularly famous portion of the city, most famously known as Hollywood, is the center of media attention and when searching for hotels Hollywood visitors can discover the glamour of this hotspot.

The West Hollywood Halloween Costume Carnival is supposedly the largest street party in the world. The event takes place on Santa Monica Boulevard and attracts some five hundred thousand people each year.
