Coming back from Bora Bora, we have about 24 hours in LA...we land at LAX around 11 am on a Tuesday and take off around 11 am the next day. Any recommendations for hotels that aren't too far from the airport, but would be convenient to explore LA a bit (as much as is possible in 24 hours!)? Any recommendations for what to hit with only 24 hours in LA? I saw the California Science Center mentioned in another post, which definitely appealed, since both FI and I like space stuff. We also love food, wine, and trying new things...neither of us are super into shopping or Hollywood/celebrity-related stuff. We're willing to splurge on food and hotel, because it's our honeymoon. Thanks in advance for recommendations!
You can do the Page Museum (aka the La Brea Tar Pits), LACMA and the Peterson Automotive museum on the same day. They are all right next to each other.
Farmers Market at 3rd and Fairfax is good for munchies. Tons of little food stalls with a huge variety of cuisines.
I have 2 hotels that I stay at when I go up to LA- The Magic Castle Hotel in Hollywood and the JW Marriot at LA Live. One perk of staying at the Magic Castle hotel is that you can go to the Magic Castle for a show. Its members only and this is one of the easiest ways to get in.

Thank you for the recommendations! I will look into those. alleinesein, my FI would LOVE those Black Magic Pancakes!
@sfgal530, we're spending 6 nights at Raimiti on Fakarava, then 4 nights at the Intercontinental in Moorea and 4 nights at the IC Thalasso in Bora Bora. Can't wait! Where did you guys go/stay?
