Where to Stay for
the Wedding at UCLA's
Faculty
Center:
Low Budget: Claremont
Hotel -
$70/night (E8 on campus map)
The Claremont Hotel is located in Westwood Village a few blocks south
of UCLA. This hotel is very old and has it's charm. But for
the most part, the Claremont is very basic, providing small rooms with
a functioning bathroom. None of the rooms have TVs.
10 rooms have been blocked off for our guests under our names.
Please state that you are guests of Amy and Brian's wedding.
Medium Budget: UCLA
Guest House - $139/night (G3 on campus map)
This on-campus housing is charming and convenient situated only steps
from
UCLA's Faculty Center. Free amenities include access to the
John Wooden Recreation Center and Sunset Recreation (including swimming
pools). We recommend this hotel for it's location and
services. Parking is
free if spaces are available.
Otherwise, there is a paid lot (Lot 3) near by. Normally, the
UCLA Guest House is only available to alumni. Since Amy is an
alumni, she is able to block off 10 rooms for guests of the
wedding. Please contact Amy directly at amyatmos@ucla.edu to make
a reservation. All reservations
must be made through Amy.
High Budget: W
Hotel - $380/night (F7 on campus map)
The W Hotel is located just down the hill from UCLA's Faculty
Center. If you are in the mood for luxury, the W is the place to
be. The W is also a pet friendly hotel.

What to do in Westwood
Villiage:
We have some recommendations of where to dine and what to do in
Westwood.
Dining:
Mio Babbo's Italian
Restaurant (D8) is one of our favorites. You must try
their
Caprese.
Then for dessert, walk across the street to Cafe Elysee (D8) for the best
Tiramisu in
town. In the mood for ice cream
and
cookies? You must head over to Diddy
Riese (D7) for an ice cream sandwich for $1. You pick your
choice of cookies and ice cream
flavor. Amy's favorite cookie is
their oatmeal raisin. If you are in the mood for some
fries, you
must go to Headlines (D8) for
their
yummy curly
fries with a side of ranch
dressing.
Sites:
Swing by the Fox Theater (D7)
to
see where Hollywood holds their movie premiers. Skip across
the street to Maloney's (D7)
for a
drink.
UCLA
is located in the heart of the city of
Westwood. Westwood is surrounded by
famous LA locales. A
