Ice Skating in a Los Angeles Winter Wonderland

By , About.com GuideNovember 23, 2009

Follow me on:

It may not snow in LA, so white Christmases are pretty much out of the question. But the W Hotel is making sure Angelinos get to enjoy the spirit of the winter holidays in the capital of sunshine and style--LA style. The Westwood designer hotel has transformed its WET pool deck into a 1,300 square foot hybrid-ice skating rink!

The winter wonderland set-up designed by YourBASH will be around through January 24, 2010. The $10 hourly skating fee includes skate rental (though guests can also bring their own) and requires no reservations.

Also in tune with the holiday spirit, the hotel invites guests to cozy up in the W blankets it provides while sipping hot cocoa. The Backyard's "Snowy Snack Bar," offers winter revelers other seasonal drinks and eats like s'mores, pumpkin lattes and hazelnut espresso martinis. Now that sure puts the "W" back in "wassailing."
