In "A Fridge Too Far", when Luan tried to steal one of Lincoln's leftover mac 'n' cheese bites, a booby trap makes a watermelon drop on her foot, breaking it and forcing her to use crutches. Later, when Lincoln is hanging upside down (due to a booby trap) from the ceiling, he asks one of his siblings to let him down gently. In "Funny Business", Luan offers Lincoln the position of her clown assistance. He later begins to hog the attention when he accidentally causes kids to laugh, and he loves it so much. He and Luan have a falling out, but after they eventually make up, the two have become closer siblings after this experience.

Linc the White-Haired resembles Lincoln, but is fully grown, very muscular, has long hair, and wears brown boots, black studded arm bands, a black belt with a large buckle, an orange loincloth, and a necklace. Despite his age, Linc the White-Haired sounds exactly like Lincoln, albeit with a slightly exaggerated growl and somewhat deeper. In the siblings' story in "A Dark and Story Night," Lincoln imagines himself as a space cowboy named Triton. When Lincoln was five years old, he dressed as Ace Savvy for Halloween. While trying to catch up to his older sister Lynn, he accidentally ran into Clyde who was dressed as One-Eyed Jack, giving him a nosebleed in the process. Lincoln was born in the limousine of the President of the United States.

Life

In "The Sweet Spot", his sisters all get mad at him when they realize he's trying to snag the best seat in the car. In "Driving Miss Hazy", when Lincoln tries to teach Leni to drive, all his other sisters except Lori pitch in. This page describes all of Lincoln Loud's relationships with his family. Upon being cornered by Morag on a cliff overlooking the loch, Lincoln tried to talk sense with her, but Morag taunted him using his insecurity of not feeling special before intending to kill him. However, Lincoln distracted her long enough to allow Lily to swipe the Dragon Stone that was controlling Lela, freeing her from Morag's control.

Casagrande family

Her passion for music has some negative effects, as in the episode "For Bros About to Rock" it is revealed that she unintentionally "ruined" her siblings' first concerts. Showrunner Michael Rubiner said that "with 10 girls in the family", the crew felt natural "to explore one of them being LGBTQ".[18] As of the episode "Racing Hearts", Luna and Sam are officially dating. Both of them formed the band Moon Goats with their friends, who made up most of the music club.

Loud family

When Lincoln cosplays as Ace Savvy, Clyde dresses as Ace's sidekick One-Eyed Jack. Clyde is a 5th grader at Royal Woods Elementary School until "Schooled!" when he begins attending Royal Woods Middle School as a 6th-grader. In "Game Off", Lana was interested in playing Lincoln's video game, Total Trash Takedown, but he tells her to wait because he had gotten to the final level and doesn't want to lose all of his progress.

Lisa

He was bored, and so his companion Ka-Lyde (an alter-ego of Clyde), tried to help him steal a TV remote-like device from a ten-headed beast that resembled the Loud sisters. In "The Whole Picture," Lincoln remembers a time he dressed as Ace Savvy for Halloween in the past. Seeing as Lucy was present and not a baby at the time, he would have been between the ages of five and ten. As with most characters, Lincoln is very skinny and has a large, round head with short platinum blonde hair, with a large tuft of his hair sticking upwards on his left side and two strands sticking up on his right. He has an overbite, with a prominent chipped front tooth, noticeable bags around his eyes, and freckles on his cheeks.

The Casagrandes

Every time he wants to do something he must ask them for permission like in "In Tents Debate", where he asks them if they can go to another place for their annual vacation. In "Ties That Bind", Lincoln believes that his parents want to get rid of him and his sisters, but it was just a misunderstanding. They seem to not favor any of their children to prevent harder sibling rivalry. In "Sleuth or Consequences", she clogged the toilet which leads to Lincoln being wrongfully accused. She tried to help him clear his name so he could go to the comic book convention, but also tried to frame her other sisters.

After Meryl gives them another news about the hidden game room, Principal Ramirez tells Lincoln and his friends that they can keep their news program. Tabby agreed to go on blind date with Lincoln at the Sadie Hawkins dance party. She was excited when she met Lincoln for the first time, and encouraged him to play on imaginary instrument. Tabby was upset at Lincoln, when she discovered he's on dates with three other girls. In this version, Lincoln has great detective skills, and maybe super strength and flight, and also wears a suit similar to Ace Savvy's. In the comic, he and Clyde must battle against a giant gas monster, but it proves to be very difficult to harm, so Ace calls for backup with his entire deck, consisting of different heroines (all of them interpreted by Lincoln's sisters).

In "Stall Monitor", Lincoln is afraid that Mrs. Johnson thinks he is a bad student when she was interested in talking to his parents. After she gives him a week of detention for having Rusty pose as her which also caused his parents to give him a week of grounding, Agnes actually told his parents positive comments. In "Project Loud House", she originally planned to give Lincoln an "A" on his report about his sisters, but thanks to Luan's bucket prank, she downgraded it to an "A-". Whenever she gives him an assignment, he does his best to follow through with it rather than slack off and procrastinate like most kids, even if at times, it doesn't work out.

If you’re seeking a lively animated series portraying the adventures of Lincoln Loud and his ten siblings, look no further than The Loud House Season 6. Set in the fictional town of Royal Woods, it’s a beloved children’s show on Nickelodeon. Notably, the series contributes positively to the representation of the LGBTQIA+ community in children’s entertainment, normalizing the portrayal of a gay couple, which is crucial for fostering acceptance and understanding among young viewers. In the episode "One of the Boys," when Lincoln wishes he had a life with ten brothers, he is sent to an alternate universe of such.

Sometimes, he tries to hang out with other kids, but the rest of his social life has not really been explored and it's been revealed that when he tries to make new friends they're always being mean to him, as seen in "Save the Date" and "Hand-Me-Downer". At school, Lincoln is often seen hanging out with his two best friends and former classmates, Clyde and Ronnie Anne and his close friends, Zach, Liam, Rusty, and Stella. Unlike his sisters, he doesn’t have a distinct personality and is quite multi-faced. Maria Casagrande-Santiago[37] (voiced by Sumalee Montano)[38] is Ronnie Anne and Bobby's mother, Carlos' sister, and Rosa and Hector's daughter. When the Santiago's move to Great Lakes City, Maria works at the local hospital as an emergency room nurse.

Lincoln enjoys collecting comic books, playing video games, and exploring his creative side through writing and drawing. Image S2E08A Lincoln's calendar.png The Loud House Encyclopedia, After a long wait, dragons finally made an appearance in part 2 of season 1 of. The loud house, a popular animated tv show on nickelodeon, recently concluded its seventh season on january 25, 2024.

She likely picks him as her sparring partner because he's the closest to her in strength and age. Because of her strength and attitude, she is the ideal person to help Lincoln defend himself against real bullies. When Lincoln is being bullied, Lynn is the perfect one to rush to his aid and train him against them. In "One Flu Over the Loud House", Leni was disgusted by Lincoln dismissing their sick sisters and parents, and often felt she had to scold him for this. Leni was ready to sacrifice her health so Lincoln could escape from infection, but he wanted her to "survive" (i.e. stay healthy), believing she deserves this more as she's a better person than him. In "Along Came a Sister", Lincoln brought his class's pet tarantula home for the weekend, and Leni tried to kill it out of fear.

Life

In "April Fools Rules", she used Lincoln's feelings to Ronnie Anne to manipulate her brother and make him fall victim of her hurting pranks. However, this backfires on Luan, as Ronnie Anne was touched by Lincoln doing such at thing for her and pelts Luan with a pie at her face as retribution. She can at times pull nasty pranks on him, but this is likely due to the fact that she is trying to be funny, and isn't really aware that what she did can cause him grief, so it appears that she does it without malicious intentions. In "Future Tense", when Lincoln was reading a comic and Luna was playing on her guitar, they were sitting next to each other.

In earlier episodes, Lori was often bossy, short-tempered, and condescending towards her younger siblings; however, she cares deeply about her family.

Around ages two and three, Lincoln took a bath with Lynn who was around four and five years old at the time. Because of Morag's antisocial personality and desire for peace and quiet, she initially waited hesitantly for their departure, but Lincoln initially retained his kind outlook for her during his time. However, Lincoln's decision to move to Scotland and become the new Duke drove Morag insane, and she began plotting to make him leave. Upon discovering how her ancestor did so before, Morag plotted to use Lincoln's insecurity of being in his sisters' shadows to make them leave. Lincoln also met Morag during his trip to Loch Loud, but unlike with Angus, his relationship with her is far more negative.

In "Kick the Bucket List", Lincoln was playing a one-man band instrument. Luna saw this and offered to join him, and was disappointed when he refused.

The Really Loud House episode "What's a Mother to Redo" reveals that Rita is allergic to strawberries. Lincoln Loud is the only boy and the middle child in a family of eleven children residing in the fictional town of Royal Woods, Michigan. He has ten sisters with distinctive personalities consisting of bossy eldest child Lori, ditzy fashionista Leni, musician Luna, comedian Luan, athletic Lynn Jr., gloomy poetic goth Lucy, polar opposite twins Lana and Lola, child genius Lisa, and baby Lily. Lincoln occasionally breaks the fourth wall to explain to the viewers the chaotic conditions and sibling relationships of the household, and continually devises plans to make his life in the Loud House better. The Loud House is an American animated television series created by Chris Savino that premiered on Nickelodeon on May 2, 2016. The series revolves around the chaotic everyday life of a boy named Lincoln Loud, who is the middle child and only son in a large family of 11 children.

She didn't have a driver's license or know how to drive Vanzilla in "Driving Miss Hazy", but Lana's Listen Out Loud podcast reveals that she is now able to drive, although she hasn't in any actual episodes due to a lack of confidence during the actual exam. Leni is a junior at Royal Woods High School for the first four seasons and attends school with her sisters Lori, Luna and Luan.

But she only gave him a one-time favor when he needed to go to Mr. Bolhofner. In "Making the Case", he came to her for advice on making funny viral videos, and she happily gave him the idea to always have the camera on. After he humiliated all his sisters, Luan was the only one who had any desire to speak with him. She gave him advice how to fix his relationship with his sisters which later worked at the end.

As well as roof rats also called the brown rat or the fruit rat; the woodrat referred to as the Pack Rat (I know I have been called this on multiple occasions!); and the marsh rice rat. Like prairie dogs, voles compromise your yard and garden by burrowing extensive tunnel systems beneath the ground and feeding on roots, bulbs and small plants. Also known as meadow mice or field mice, these small brown or gray rodents have a long mouse-like tail, but small eyes and ears, and grow up to eight inches long. Growing up to 10 inches long, with another 10 inches of tail, this brown rodent commonly known as a sewer rat is startling to come across indoors and out. These formidable pests can chew through almost any material — including PVC and metal pipes — and fit through a hole as small as a quarter. They nest in ground-level areas like basements, crawlspaces, garbage cans and woodpiles.

Are Rats Taking Over Your San Francisco Bay Area Home? We’re Here To Help

Brown and house rats exploit human food resources, eating and contaminating stored grains and killing poultry. They have been responsible for the depletion or extinction of native species of small mammals, birds, and reptiles, especially on oceanic islands. On the other hand, the brown rat has been used in laboratories worldwide for medical, genetic, and basic biological research aimed at maintaining and improving human health. Typically, homeowners can catch roof rats through the use of snap traps. However, it can be tough to catch them because they can be wary of new items in their living space.

Jenny's currently on the lookout for a doer-upper to put her stamp on. She loves collecting and salvaging unique items (much to her other half's despair) but sniffing out stylish home bargains is her one true love. When she has a spare minute, she loves to do a spot of crafting, having studied textiles at Uni – although she hardly gets the chance with a toddler who keeps her permanently on her toes. When figuring out how to get rid of rats, the first thing you should do is scope out where they might be hiding. If you're not quite sure if rats are what you're dealing with, take a look at our how to get rid of pests guide to identify the critter in question.

Secure your trash to deter rats

People can also breathe in infected flea dirt or rub it into their eyes. Finally, monitor yourself for signs of illness after cleaning up rat droppings and nesting materials. Some rodenticides contain highly toxic ingredients that can be fatal to people, pets, and livestock – even when consumed in small doses. However, if your DIY efforts fail, or you need more help with your rat infestation, contact a professional exterminator. (See here for an overview of some of the best rat traps on the market).

STEP 1: Inspect the home and its surroundings, including your backyard and garden.

Other rats are bald and without whiskers, also known as sphynx, which are selectively bred so that they don’t have any hair. Members of the genus Rattus are native to temperate and tropical continental Asia, the Australia–New Guinea region, and islands between those landmasses. Five clusters of species within the genus are recognized by some authorities. In the autumn, when mint has died down, try leaving cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil around your garden. Balsam fir is another effective rat deterrent, and is evergreen. Herbaceous perennials are very effective rat deterrents, especially mint and sage, both of which rats loathe.

These can cause problems to the stability of homes and buildings when the rats dig beneath them; they also can block sewer lines and spoil the landscaping of yards. Look no farther than the Goodnature A24 Rat & Mouse trap if you’re seeking for a better way to practise quick-kill, effective, and ecologically responsible rodent management. Important safety information- Always read and follow the instructions on the label of all pesticide products you are using. Avoid contact with live rodents and always wear rubber, latex, vinyl or nitrile gloves when handling dead rodents and their urine, feces, or nests. Open doors to unoccupied structures and allow them to air out prior to entering and cleaning.

How to Prep Your Attic for Winter

A single animal can consume up to two pounds of grass, flowers, shoots, roots and seeds a day, making short work of your lawn and vegetable garden. These rodents bring with them serious health threats, as carriers of trichinosis, salmonellosis, rat-bite fever, jaundice and other diseases. To prevent attracting them near or into your home, place woodpiles or other debris far away and carefully seal all holes and crevices along the foundation. Small, gray or light brown, and topped by Mickey-size ears, the house mouse is the most common invasive rodent found across the U.S. Although it rarely grows longer than four inches, don’t let its small size fool you.

Rats/mice

Fleas become infected when they bite infected animals, such as rats, cats, or opossums. When an infected flea bites a person or animal, the bite breaks the skin, causing a wound. The poop (also called flea dirt) can then be rubbed into the bite wound or other wounds, causing infection.

You will learn some tried-and-true remedies for dealing with this type of infestation as well as when you need to call in a professional exterminator. Groundhogs, also known as woodchucks, are found in most states. Often mistaken for gophers, they are significantly larger and heavier than their fellow burrowing rodents.

While Norway and roof rats are very similar and can be difficult to distinguish on sight, the rats have some distinctive traits that provide evidence for identification. They are sometimes mistaken for mice, although rats are significantly larger, and their signs are distinctly different. As climbers, roof rats are most likely to cause structural damage in homes when they chew on wood and wires.

Brown rats can have up to 22 young at once, though eight or nine is more the average. Most rats are nocturnal, though the brown rat is often awake day or night. They’re also attracted to any fruit that is ripening on fruit trees in your yard, and they’ll happily harvest fallen seeds and nuts from other plants and trees you may have. You’ll want to stay on top of cleaning up any fallen fruit, nuts, or seeds to prevent attracting rats. Mice only need a ¼-inch hole to get into a house, but rats need a ½-inch hole. However, their long teeth are extremely adept at opening up those ¼-inch holes to fit their flexible bodies through the space.

Other than the issues you can deal with, such as food sources being accessible to them (see below), there are a number of reasons why they might be appearing. They're usually looking for food, but they breed quickly, cause damage by gnawing through building materials and pose a serious health risk. Run one of the best vacuum cleaners over the surfaces to get rid of any crumbs and debris as well.

Identify and Prevent Rodent Infestations

Rats can range in size from a mere 5 inches to the size of a house cat, although that’s rare to see. You’ll typically find them located near coastal areas in warmer climates. If you’re finding that rats are avoiding your traps, hiring a professional pest management company to help is such a good idea. Anticoagulant rodenticide-using rodents are regularly ingested by other species, which can poison the food chain and cause secondary poisoning.

Common rat

Providing owl boxes in rural locations to promote natural predation is one of the many safer rodent-control solutions available when physical exclusion is not an option. More than 175 less harmful rat poisons are still on the market. The new limitations are designed to decrease the risk of poisoning wildlife that is not the target. The bill’s text states that state investigations and scientific research have detected rodenticides in more than 75% of examined animals. Keep a watchful eye for any openings in your home where rats could get in like areas of your foundation, cracks in siding, and gaps in your garage. If you are eager to get the rat out of your house immediately but do not have the time to take on all the steps required to do so, call a professional.

If Nothing Else Works: Control Rats With Poison Baits

It's important that you familiarize yourself with local laws in terms of which traps and baits you can use before you take action. Pest control companies can inform you of this if you're unsure. Now that you know you’ve got at least one rat in the house, you need to take proper precautions immediately.

Because of these traits, the key to trapping wary rats is to place traps in the right spots and prepare them correctly. In addition to Hepatitis E and typhus, rats may also carry bubonic plague, hantavirus, Tularemia, and Salmonella. We’ll seal the entry points rats use to access your home and address any pre-existing factors drawing the rats to your property. Using a commercial disinfectant or a homemade solution of 1 part bleach mixed with ten parts water, thoroughly saturate all nesting materials, droppings, and urine patches.

A few species have spread far beyond their native range in close association with people. The brown rat, Rattus norvegicus (also called the Norway rat), and the house rat, R. Most likely originating in Asia, the brown rat reached Europe in the mid-1500s and North America around 1750. Roof rats are rodents that can measure up to 8 inches in body length, with tails that often are slightly longer in comparison. They often have brown fur with black fur mixed with it, which is why some people call them black rats. This species is one of the best at climbing, allowing these rats to often end up in attics.

Ultimately, the easiest way to identify active rat entry points is to look for the signs of rodents we already discussed, including grease marks, runways, and urine stains. Despite their large size, rats can squeeze through any opening you can stick your thumb through. Because of this, we recommend sealing any gap, crack, or space that’s ½” or larger. If you don’t use sanitation as the foundation of your DIY rat control efforts, everything else you do will be a waste of time and energy.

Tail length among rats ranges from shorter than body length to appreciably longer. The tail appears smooth and bald but is actually covered with very short, fine hairs. In a very few species, these hairs become longer toward the tip, which gives the tail a slightly tufted appearance.

Rat infestations are no joke, so be sure to call an exterminator from one of the best pest control companies (such as Orkin and Terminix) if you’re wondering the best way to get rid of rats. Since they carry dangerous diseases and pose a risk to a house’s safety, it’s crucial to get rid of rats quickly. They’re surprisingly crafty, so it can take a few attempts to nab the little critters using several deterrents. Here is some helpful information to determine if you have a rat problem and learn how to prevent rats from getting into your house. Norway rats are difficult to eliminate because they are wary of anything new that appears in their environment. This means that using snap or glue traps to eliminate them can be a challenge.

Second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides were created in the 1970s and are more potent than first-generation chemicals. In rats, highly lethal rodenticides have a half-life of more than 100 days. There are over 70 species of mice and rats widely distributed across North America. The house mouse (Mus musculus), Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus) and roof rat (Rattus rattus) species are in the Muridae family, which is the largest family of rodents and mammals in the world.

Rats can enter a building through a hole as small as 1/2 inch in diameter. They are strong swimmers, so, rats will live in sewers and can enter buildings through broken drains or toilets. If new objects are set in its path, it will do whatever it can to avoid it. Native to the Great Plains, this member of the squirrel family is unlikely to damage your home but can devastate your yard and garden. Light brown with a white belly and black-tipped tail, prairie dogs burrow underground in colonies.

Rattus species belong to the subfamily Murinae (Old World rats and mice) of the “true” mouse and rat family, Muridae, within the order Rodentia. Among their closest living relatives are the bandicoot rats (genera Bandicota and Nesokia). Like mice, rats will try to enter your home through any gaps or cracks in walls, doors, floors and even through the roof. And, like mice, they can chew through all sorts of materials. 'Thought needs to be taken when placing poison or traps to ensure they are in a safe and secure place out of reach of non target animals, children and pets,' says BPCA. Rats will also seek out sources of water, so if your garden tap is dripping, you have a shallow pond or a bird bath, you might like to ensure they're kept dry while you deal with the problem.

Perhaps the biggest draw, however, is the 8,000-square-foot spa, which is downtown's largest. Entering feels like walking into the midst of a futuristic cloud thanks to the white-on-white decor accented with starburst lighting fixtures. Signature experiences include the Champagne and Shimmer body treatment, which progresses from a body scrub to a hydrating massage and finishes with a 24-karat gold powder dusting for that ultimate sheen. Offering an indoor pool and a fitness center, this hotel features guest rooms with free WiFi. At Sugar Palm Ocean Avenue — which essentially comprises all the hotel's eating and drinking outlets, including indoor and outdoor dining areas and bars — guests can come for everything from breakfast and brunch to leisurely dinners of international palate pleasers like hamachi ceviche and Wagyu meatballs.

But that's part of the charm of this former creative haunt — some even have Martin guitars or Ace x Rega LP1 turntables to inspire audiophiles. The hotel sits in the 10-story former Los Angeles Railway Building, an imposing beaux-arts beauty that was originally constructed in 1922. These days, the edifice reflects the surrounding fashion district vibe, with colorful, design-forward seating vignettes in a plant-filled lobby lit by fringed chandeliers.

It starts with a booking

The rooms all feature polished hardwood floors and ceilings with low-profile, blond-wood beds (dressed in Anichini linens) and furniture, and either floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors through which you can watch the waves roll or private gardens with fireplaces, depending on the one you book. Set some time aside for a leisurely soak in the traditional teak tub, which is supplied with Red Flower and Mauro Spina of Beverly Hills products. The pool scene is still one of the hottest in town thanks to cozy seating areas and its variety of cabanas, which have huge sectionals and Acapulco-style chairs, as well as an extremely Instagram-worthy wall mural by artist Evelyn Leigh. Though small, the fitness center has new Technogym and Peloton equipment, and the hotel also offers beach yoga classes and priority bike rentals for folks who want to cycle around town.

The Inn at Opryland, A Gaylord Hotel

Many rooms feature bleached-wood beds dressed with Bellino sheets and naturally dyed linen throws, hand-painted tile bathrooms stocked with Grown Alchemist products and little terraces or balconies from which to take in the salt air. Thanks to its layout around a white-and-blue-tiled courtyard with a small, quirkily shaped pool and James Perse loungers, Oceana feels like a vintage residential hotel where aspiring actors would stay while waiting for their big break. The first is the hotel's pool, where kids are welcome; it hosts evening outdoor cinema screenings during summer. Guests are driven to the hotel's stretch of sand in house cars, where they can spend the day enjoying activities like boogie boarding, building sandcastles and beach volleyball with provided equipment when they're not ordering snacks and drinks, as well as complimentary towels and sunblock from the on-call butlers. Tucked in a residential canyon, the hotel is easy to miss — you might not even know it was here if you hadn't been lucky enough to visit before. Guests cross a footbridge over a small pond, where you can sometimes spot the hotel's swans, and step into the small and tranquil reception area with a blazing, chalet-style fireplace that feels a world apart from LA's frenetic pace.

Plan your stay to coincide with the music performances at Grand Ole Opry or the seasonal events and entertainment at Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center near our hotel on Music Valley Drive, Nashville, TN. In the morning, head to Atrium Café for Starbucks® coffee and breakfast favorites. In between adventures, cool off in our indoor pool or work out at the 24-hour fitness center. Retire for the day in our spacious hotel rooms and suites with complimentary Wi-Fi, plush bedding and flat-panel TVs.

Taking pride of place in a distinctive Frank Gehry-designed tower, the Conrad Los Angeles is the perfect pied-à-terre for art aficionados on a brief layover in Los Angeles. So whether you're after the luxury lifestyle in Beverly Hills or a more bohemian jaunt on the Eastside, here are the 27 best hotels in Los Angeles. We have more than 70 million property reviews, and they're all from real, verified guests. We have more than 70 million property reviews, all from real, verified guests. Featuring a glass atrium and surrounded by 9 acres of indoor gardens, winding rivers and waterfalls, Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center offers accommodations less than 1.2 mi from the Grand... Walking up to the Santa Monica Proper Hotel, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was actually two hotels in one.

Once seated at your alfresco table, order the spicy peri-peri chicken to make your tongue tingle and wash it down with a custom cocktail like the One Night in Tulum with cilantro- and chile-infused Dahlia Cristalino tequila with a coconut-salt rim. Only, those hotels probably didn't have stunning suites decorated in a vivid palette of pelagic blue, cumulus white and dusky teal to extend the oceanfront setting indoors. Nor did they likely have art deco-style sofas, hand-tufted Nepalese rugs, minimalist canopy beds with Loro Piano bedding and Frette linens, or gorgeously tiled marble bathrooms with Bottega Veneta products.

It's hard to believe this was formerly a motel dating back to the 1950s, as the hotel has so assiduously been transformed into one of LA's most exclusive accommodations. Even the entrance feels somewhat hidden from the hoi polloi plying the Pacific Coast Highway. Once on the grounds, though, it's easy to feel transported a world away from the hectic streets of LA. Perfectly manicured gardens wend their way around the wood-framed buildings, each a study in simplicity. You can't get better views in LA than those from some of the 70 accommodations facing Ocean Avenue and the Pacific at Oceana Santa Monica. This all-suite enclave is perched on the palisades fronting the shore, an easy walk both into the main part of Santa Monica and down the California Avenue incline across the Pacific Coast Highway to the beach.

There is a small but serviceable fitness center where guests can arrange private classes and training sessions. Additionally, guests can visit The Peninsula Spa, where treatments are performed with top-of-the-line products from brands like MBR, Biologique Recherche and Geneo. One facial uses 24-karat gold and Arabian jasmine to tone and balance the skin while reducing fine lines. Also up on the rooftop is Cara Cara, the first downtown restaurant from iconic LA dining duo Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne.

Spearheaded by David Collins Studio, the interior design aesthetic is meant to evoke the beautiful California skies and the glamour of Beverly Hills with a palette of ivory, silver, pale shades of blue and accents of chrome and marble. Like all Kimptons, this one will let you bring your pooch for free and even offers dog-friendly amenities, as well as human-friendly ones like loaner bikes, complimentary morning tea and coffee, in-room yoga mats and an evening wine hour. One of LA's newest hotels is also one of its best – that's why it topped our list of the most exciting hotel openings of 2022.

For a truly special night out, though, reserve a table at Cut, Wolfgang Puck's steak and seafood restaurant where the slabs of beef are dry-aged to perfection. Guests can take advantage of the hotel's 24-hour Field House Gym or just camp out on a deck lounger by the sun-splashed lap pool with panoramic city views. The hotel is now home to the Bamford Wellness Spa, proffering treatments like a massage that alternates the use of hot volcanic rocks and cold jade stones for relaxation and detoxification. The hotel houses a Wolfgang Puck-helmed rooftop restaurant called Merois that, thanks to its silk-shrouded ceiling and panorama windows, feels like a sky-high garden party with cuisine to match, such as West Coast oysters with passion fruit mignonette and coriander chicken with golden cashew curry. Another Sunset stunner, this boutique luxury hotel has just 149 rooms and suites, so it feels ultra-exclusive without being stuffy or isolated from the surrounding area.

But whereas Beverly Hills' Pink Palace is all about up-and-coming A-Listers, the Hotel Bel-Air is for those who have already made their name. Incredible art installations like a metallic tree with Swarovski crystal and mother-of-pearl leaves and an illuminated 20-sided metal-and-glass sculpture by artist Anthony James are just a few of the eye-catching displays in store for visitors. Sitting high on a hill, the iconic sign is visible for miles around, while below the gold stars on Hollywood Boulevard immortalize celebrities of past and present.

As with many old hotels, the 268 rooms and suites are on the small side, starting at 187 square feet, but they feel fresh and bright thanks to large windows and efficient layouts. Start with a drink and a nibble like jumbo lump crab croquetas at the pool-adjacent Agua Viva by José (Andrés, that is). Amble by the lobby's Beaudry Room bar for a spicy shiso margarita before an Iberian-inflected supper of platas like Mediterranean sea bass with fire-roasted leeks in a saffron-mussel sauce on the terrace at chef Andrés' San Laurel as the Disney Concert Hall's sinuous facade reflects the last sunny rays of the day. Just 2 miles from Universal Studios, this Los Angeles hotel features an on-site restaurant and an outdoor pool.

Venice Beach Hostel

In fact, it's estimated that Los Angeles now comprises 272 distinct districts spread across the county's 4,100 square miles populated by its 10 million or so residents (the city of LA itself is smaller, with around 4 million inhabitants). Just a 5-minute walk from Paramount Pictures, this hotel is 2 miles from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Just off Interstate 405 and only minutes from Los Angeles International Airport, this hotel offers many exceptional amenities and free continental breakfast..

Hotels near Grand Ole Opry, Nashville

Passing into the main grounds, a campanile-style tower sets the tone for a stay that feels set outside time. At 1 Kitchen, chef Ginger Pierce's menus skew healthy thanks to farm-fresh ingredients mostly sourced locally, while Juniper is more about cocktails and bar bites. Reserve a spot at alfresco Harriet's Rooftop to take in the scene on a Saturday night as you nibble on grilled fish tacos or sip a Penthouse cocktail with Avion reposado tequila, tangy lemon, grapefruit and spiced pear shaken and served on the rocks. Though part of IHG, Kimpton La Peer Hotel feels more like a boutique hotel thanks to its intimate size (just 105 rooms and suites) and its location on a relatively quiet street in West Hollywood that's a block from the neighborhood's party epicenter at the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Robertson Boulevard.

Guests can settle in for six-course tasting menus or order items like the signature egg caviar with Ossetra pearls nestled on top of a gently scrambled organic egg with vodka whipped cream, and Wagyu beef tenderloin with a miso-black pepper infusion a la carte. White-on-white guest rooms with Venetian plastered walls call to mind the towering letters of the nearby Hollywood Sign, while elegant features like parquet wood flooring and limestone-tiled bathrooms (along with Smart TVs) feel more Mediterranean. Some rooms have narrow balconies overlooking the courtyard so you can enjoy a dose of fresh air. Unlike many LA hotel pools, this one feels more like a garden hideaway than a daylong party. The white-cushioned, umbrella-shaded loungers are shielded from prying eyes by high hedges, but you still have jaw-dropping panoramas of the entire LA basin. Poolgoers and those who visit The Roof bar can order Mexican-centric bites like yucca fries with aji amarillo aioli and crab nachos.

The One Spa is a relaxing, beachy haven proffering treatments that range from holistic to new-wave science-based with product lines that include Auteur, Augustinus Bader and Omorovicza. Though it's far from the more touristy parts of town, the 60-room Cara Hotel is one of LA's toniest boutique inns. Stepping from the street through its glass, arched entryway feels like walking back in time to Hollywood's heyday thanks to the attractive crowd invariably cavorting under the old-growth olive trees in its courtyard or seeking a spot of shade under the palms by its central water feature (sorry, it's not a pool). The hotel has one of the most distinctive pool areas in Los Angeles; you'll find a unique coffin shape to the pool and desert-style landscaping dominated by enormous cactuses. It gets pretty lively out here on summer weekends thanks to the friendly vibe and simple but delicious coastal-inspired dishes and drinks at La Casita, which include refreshing tequila and mezcal cocktails along with bites like oysters and flatbreads. For more of a fine-dining experience, make a reservation at Sparrow, where the Italian ethos is reflected both in the understated but urbane Riviera-like decor and specialties like crispy mushroom arancini and squid ink bucatini with mixed seafood and a parsley crumble.

Hyatt House Nashville Airport

The hotel has a small fitness center with cardio machines and weights, plus a lively ground-floor outdoor pool that's a popular spot for cocktails in the sun. Guests can also order drinks and small bites at the hotel's lobby-adjacent Courtyard Bar or enjoy full-service meals at the hotel's on-site restaurant. Visitors can spend their stays lounging by the rooftop pool, pampering themselves with an ayurvedic elemental balancing massage at the spa or just relaxing in one of the bright, spacious rooms and suites, which were designed by hospitality firm du jour Tara Bernerd & Partners. In the guest rooms, which have either city or ocean views and start at 320 square feet, you'll discover jade-green, marble-topped nightstands; walls with white wooden paneling that frames antiqued mirrors; and ornate, sculptural wall sconces. There are also pillow-top mattresses and high-end Natura Bisse and Roil by Amanda George bath products. The hotel has a 24-hour fitness center, complete with locker rooms and showers, that has an old-timey feel thanks to the wooden wall paneling and floors.

Hampton Inn & Suites Nashville at Opryland

After all, one wing has a historical Spanish Colonial Revival edifice from 1928, while the other is a futuristic fixture with curvilinear glass and a concrete facade. Opt for the Babor Glow Facial, which uses maple bark extract to stimulate and refresh the skin, or the Turmeric NatureCeutical Peel, which employs pineapple, pumpkin and papaya extracts to restore and revitalize your complexion. Whether you decide to live like a star in a luxury LA hotel or choose a cheap motel through Booking.com, it’s worth renting a car to get around this sprawling city and out to Los Angeles Airport (LAX).

InterContinental - Los Angeles Downtown, an IHG Hotel

From the adorable reception area purveying local artisanal products to the driftwood-bedecked open-air rooftop restaurant where you can check out the surf while enjoying an energizing flat white or a fortifying smoothie before grabbing your board to shoot the curl, this feels like the coastal retreat you wish you could build for yourself. However, there are also 31 residential-style bungalows sprinkled around the property in two- and three-bedroom configurations for families who want to splash out so they can spread out or those who plan on sticking around awhile.

Accommodations range from the 250-square-foot Back Room on the ground floor, which the hotel has dubbed a "surfer's hideout" for those who come solely for the ocean action, to the second-floor, 500-square-foot Surfrider Suite, which has a balcony with a hammock. Brunch or cocktails out on the terrace of the Living Room lounge overlooking Santa Monica State Beach are heavenly, while the seafood and seasonal California cuisine at Coast is healthy and hearty. For a gourmet experience, make a reservation for a table under the luminario-strung coral tree at 1 Pico, where the fresh flavors include candy-stripe beet gazpacho with strawberry and tomato, and line-caught Californian white sea bass. Be sure to reserve one of the patio tables at Wolfgang Puck at Hotel Bel-Air for one of the city's finest dining experiences.

Where Does the Vice President Live? The History of One Observatory Circle, the Official Residence of the Vice President

• Last day to save! Roborock just solved all of our problems with this cutting-edge vacuum on sale

Starting in the 1920s and for the next five decades, the house served as the residence for the chiefs of naval operations and their families. Here’s what you should know about the residence that seven vice presidents have called home. Furthermore, the vice president often takes on special projects and initiatives assigned by the president. These can range from leading task forces on specific policy issues to representing the administration at various domestic and international events. The vice president's ability to take on diverse responsibilities reflects their close partnership with the president and their role as a key advisor and collaborator. In the political landscape of the United States, the vice president holds a significant role that often goes beyond simply being the second-in-command to the president.

Mondale's daughter, Eleanor, once called the Secret Service when she said she saw a ghost in her bedroom.

We'll be in touch with the latest information on how President Biden and his administration are working for the American people, as well as ways you can get involved and help our country build back better. There are several items of note in the room, but the most interesting may be the Vice President’s Desk. And I think everybody would want them for themselves or a member of their family. And so, let’s recognize the gift that these talented professionals give to families and to all of us as a society. And so, the two announcements that we are making today recognize that we owe you, those workers, so much more than applauding you.

The History of the Residence

The Gores oversaw a complete redecoration, the addition of a new dining-room table, new furniture for the library, and a substantial renovation of the grounds and porches to make them more suitable for outdoor entertaining. Immediately before the Cheneys moved in, some needed work on the air conditioning and heating was performed and the interiors were repainted. The Cheneys brought several pieces of contemporary art into the house. In addition to the Vice President’s Office in the West Wing, the Vice President and his or her staff maintain a set of offices in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB), located next to the West Wing on the White House premises. And, again, for residents, this will mean more staff, which means fewer ER visits potentially, more independence for families.

The Vice President’s Residence & Office

It was placed in storage from December of 1929 until 1945, when it was selected by President Truman. Vice President Johnson and each subsequent Vice President have used the desk. The inside of the top drawer has been signed by its various users since the 1940s. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

The Pool

It wasn't designated as a home for the vice president until a joint resolution passed by Congress in 1974 over the objections of Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, who was living there at the time before his tenure ended. The building features classical columns, a large porch in the front, a grand entry hall and bay windows. The grounds also house telescopes, libraries and a dedicated landing area for Marine One and Marine Two, the helicopters that transport the president and vice president, respectively. Biden told reporters in 2010 that "no can say a negative thing about Dan Quayle" because he added the pool to the vice president's residence. A dozen observatory superintendents lived in the house from 1893 to 1927.

Well, we need to thank them every day, not just during the height of a crisis, because the work they do is that essential. Kamala Harris is the 49th and current vice president of the United States. She is the first African American, first Asian American, and first female occupant of the office. The vice president-elect of the United States is the candidate who has won the United States presidential election along with the presidential candidate and is awaiting inauguration to become the vice president.

In what city does the president live while in office?

It was removed from the Spanish Cruiser Christabal Colom by the crew of the USS Montgomery after the battle of Santiago in July 1898. The second floor has two bedrooms, an office and a den, and the third floor has four additional bedrooms. It is also rumored to have a bunker, according to the book “Number One Observatory Circle” by Charles Denyer.

Kim — who has maintained a neutral political stance in the public eye — met with the former host of The Apprentice in 2018 to discuss the steps to prison reform. The First Step Act is considered one of the few bipartisan actions taken during his presidency. A bust of Christopher Columbus — one of the few original items on display — was exhibited in the Secretary’s office between 1898 and 1924.

Remarks by Vice President Harris at a Roundtable Discussion on Nursing Home Care

Forming a bipartisan coalition, they enacted a $1 trillion investment in the country’s infrastructure to remove every lead pipe in America and make the most significant investment in public transit, repairing bridges, and high-speed Internet in history. This was done to replace or renovate the plumbing, heating, air conditioning, ventilation and electric systems. The porch and the family rooms were also upgraded on the second floor.

The second floor contains two bedrooms, a study, and a den, while the third floor has four more rooms, which originally served as servants' quarters and storage areas. The vice president's residence, located on the grounds of the United States Naval Observatory about 2.5 miles (4.02 kilometers) northwest of the White House, doesn't have a similarly iconic name. Instead, it's often referred to prosaically as the VPR, or by using its address, Number One Observatory Circle. When the Mondales occupied the house, Joan Mondale introduced more saturated upholstery and wall colors and contemporary art. Like the Rockefellers, the Mondales brought some Asian antiques into the house. The Bush family, working with interior decorator Mark Hampton, used a palette of celadon, lime green, and light blue.

Most either resided in their own homes, or as Calvin Coolidge did during the Warren G. Harding administration, lived in hotels. Coolidge, who became president after Harding's death in 1923, may have been the first to advocate the notion of giving the vice president an official home, in keeping with the dignity of the position. "The great office should have a settled and permanent habitation and a place, irrespective of the financial ability of its temporary occupant," Coolidge wrote in his memoirs.

Mondale's daughter, Eleanor, has said the vice president's house is haunted and claimed she had to call the Secret Service into her room after she reportedly saw a ghost in her bedroom. Numerous renovations have been made on the house starting with the first renovation after formalization in 1976 which cost $ 276,000 for the replacement of window units. When the Bush family moved in, in 1981, they spent $187,000 on carpeting, upholstery and furniture. Another $34,000 was spent the next year by the Navy fixing the porch roof. Walls destroyed by water seepage were fixed using $225,000 while a master bedroom was built with $8,000. Children’s bedrooms were added on the third floor, a wheel chair accessible entrance was made, and the master bathroom was upgraded.
