Weegy: Mulholland Drive is classically good for this. You can even go from having an awesome view of downtown and Hollywood to having an awesome view of the Valley within a few minutes at the far eastern end. [ Unfortunately the Mulholland lookout closes at sunset and the pullovers have weird restrictions, but I never tended to let that bother me.
During the day, the bar at the top of the Hotel Angeleno (used to be the Holiday Inn - that round tower next to the 405 south of the Getty) has some rather awesome views of Westwood and out to Santa Monica. Tends be to be very quiet during the day. At night it gets really busy with people drinking, etc, but the views are even more spectacular.nd you get some awesome views from the top of The Standard downtown - especially if you want to get pictures of downtown "from the inside" as it were. I wouldn't go in with a camera round my neck though, although on a quiet night I doubt they'd care - it's usually quite chilled out on week nights. ]
