Best for

This hotel suits travelers who want a luxury, design-led stay in Downtown LA with a strong food-and-cocktail scene and a rooftop pool/terrace with skyline views. It’s also a good fit for event-goers thanks to the short walk to Crypto.com Arena and the hotel’s own event space and room service.

Travel tips

If you’re attending a game or concert at Crypto.com Arena, you can typically walk there in about 11 minutes, which can be easier than parking near the venue. Plan time for DTLA museums: MOCA, The Broad, and Walt Disney Concert Hall are all within roughly 2 km. For farther attractions like Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood Sign, and Universal Studios Hollywood, expect a longer cross-city ride compared with DTLA sightseeing.
