Hotels in Arcadia

Beyond the iconic Santa Anita Park racetrack with its art deco grandstand lies a city that refuses to be overshadowed by its famous neighbor Los Angeles. The Los Angeles County Arboretum welcomes with roaming peacocks that strut through historic buildings as if they own the place. 'Restaurant Row' on Baldwin Avenue serves some of the finest dim sum outside Asia, where weekend lines form before the doors even open. Westfield Santa Anita offers retail therapy between outdoor adventures. For a perfect afternoon, grab takeout from a local bakery and head to Arcadia County Park where families gather under ancient oaks. The San Gabriel Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to this surprisingly green corner of the valley.
