Cal Phil orchestra presents many of the legendary hits of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Richard Strauss?

What do the two men who sang love songs ranging from Strangers in the Night, Let’s Fall in Love and The Way You Look Tonight to Because of You and You’re All The World to Me have to do with a German composer named Richard Strauss?

For starters, Richard Strauss wrote a work devoted to a gentleman who is perhaps the most famous lover of all time – Don Juan. And, from there, we’ll perform a Strauss composition about yet another kind of scoundrel, the prankster Till Eulenspiegel.

Whether you’re meeting Ol’ Blue Eyes or the loveable rogue Till, this concert is one you’ll enjoy…and that’s no joke!

Featured works:
Hits of Frank Sinatra & Tony Bennett
Strauss’ Don Juan & Til Eulenspiegel

Pre-concert talks with the Maestro at 1:00pm in BP Hall

The Staples Center will once again be host to the NBA Finals between the Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers and their storied rivals, namely the Boston Celtics. Meeting in the NBA Championship against each other for the 17th time, Lakers fans know far to well about the legendary battles for title. The Staples Center will be filled with the ghosts of Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West dueling Bill Russell and Bob Cousy, Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul Jabar against Larry Bird, Kevin McHale. The Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield could have a full wing dedicated to the great players and coaches on both benches who matched wits against each other and help make the NBA the global power it has become today. This year has potential to be as epic as past runs, as it gives the Lakers a chance to not only defend their crown as NBA Champions and repoeat, but it brings a sense of vindication as they would be beating the Celtics, who just two years ago, knocked them off to claim their 17th NBA title. Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Derek Fisher and team can perhaps take down the Big Three of Boston: Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen.

The NBA Finals and related Los Angeles events tip off Thursday, June 3rd at 6:00 PM at the Staples Center and it should be a great series for the fans. Game Two of the championship series will also be in downtown LA, at the Staples Center, tip-off at 5:00 PM local time.

While all of this is going on, very quietly to many, the LA Dodgers are working their way back up the standings and are in position to reclaim their top spot position atop the West. The first week of June proves to be a great time for sports fans as the Dodgers host back to back home series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Atlanta Braves and St. Louis Cardinals. Nine straight days of home games at Dodger’s Stadium.

Combine that with that World Cup Soccer Championship getting under way on June 11th and the beginning of June is a sports fans delight.

At the Kyoto Grand Hotel and Gardens, our downtown LA hotel location is perfectly situated and offers a lot of opportunities for sports fans. Enjoy the convenience of our complimnetary Staples Center shuttle to get you to and from the Lakers games. Catch the new bus route to Dodgers Satdium in front of the hotel. Don’t have tickets to the games, stay in and watch them in Pangea Garden Lounge, our popular rooftop garden lounge, a truly unique nightlife scene unlike any other in downtown Los Angeles. Whatever your sports preference, the Kyoto Grand and Gardens has you covered.

Recognized by Sport’s Illustrated as “the best in baseball” amongst major league stadiums, this year it is expected that hundreds of thousands of LA Dodger fans will visit this sports mecca, in their effort to support the Dodgers as they set their sights on the ultimate prize. Speculation is high that the team will once again vie for the division pennant and hopefully, the stadium will, once again, host the World Series and become home to the World Series Champions.

Los Angeles Dodgers

HotelsCombined.com recently recognized the Kyoto Grand as their recommended hotel for planning outings to Dodger’s Stadium.  (Read Article Here) . One of the reasons for this selection is the hotels close proximity to Union Station and the recently reinstated Metro Bus to Dodger Stadium, which passes by the hotel.

Information on LA Metro Bus Line to Dodgers Stadium

From the Metro’s Release on their website: www.metro.net/

“This service will begin at Union Station and continue to Dodger Stadium on Sunset Boulevard/Cesar Chavez Avenue. Service will be provided starting 90 minutes prior to the beginning of the game and will end 45 minutes after the end of the game. Metro and the Dodgers will also provide in-kind marketing assistance to promote the service. This route will maximize the opportunity for Dodger fans to leave their cars at home, to reduce congestion and support air quality by taking public transportation including Metro bus and rail lines, Metrolink, regional rail and other bus services to Union Station. Service will be available during the pre-season and regular season games.”

Dodgers Stadium Bus Rate Fare:

Dodgers admission tickets will be honored as fare payment to ride the service. Those without a ticket will pay regular one way fare of $1.25.

So now, guests can travel from your hotel to Dodgers Stadium and then back to our downtown Los Angeles hotel, quickly, easily and inexpensively. As long as you have your ticket in hand, your bus trip is covered free of charge. Don’t forget that if you don’t have your ticket purchased before leaving, our guest services staff can assist you purchasing tickets for your group.

So let the LA Metro take you out to the ball game. Enjoy those peanuts, popcorn and Cracker Jacks and share a great family-friendly memory at Dodgers Stadium. Don’t forget to check out the Sports Entertainment Package page of the Kyoto Grand Hotel and Gardens website for special sports themed packages and events for the LA Sports fan.

Great Downtown Los Angeles Hotel Location for Sports Fans

For the all around sports fan, our complimentary hotel shuttle is available to take guests from our Little Tokyo hotel to the LA Live sports and entertainment complex that includes the Staples Center: home of Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers, Blaine Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers, the LA Sparks of the WNBA and the LA Kings NHL hockey team.  Also, stop into ESPN ZONE at LA Live, to enjoy great food, drinks and games on their large screen TVs.
