What they say

Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
The guest accommodations, meeting spaces and club lounge are quiet, light and bright by design … a team meeting or couple’s staycation.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Crypto.com Arena, Peacock Theater, and the GRAMMY Museum sit right outside, putting concerts, Lakers games, and red carpets at your feet.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass frames the basin, while muted jewel tones, etched mirrors, and deep soaking tubs line polished marble bathrooms.
Rooftop pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Up on the 26th floor, a heated outdoor pool overlooks the city alongside a fitness center facing distant mountains.
The spa
Bead curtains and circular daybeds furnish the all-white relaxation lounge, set beside nine treatment rooms and a salon.
Bar
The Agave Library
Wrought-iron doors open into an intimate tasting room pouring rare mezcals and tequilas across a long wooden communal table.
The thoughtful Art Deco renovation references old Hollywood without the pastiche, and you're steps from plenty of culture, entertainment venues, and dining options.
At the table
Rooftop terrace tables look out over illuminated skyscrapers, and Savoca serves Californian trattoria fare beneath atrium skylights downstairs.
How it began
Gensler designed the LEED-certified tower to anchor L.A. LIVE in 2010, channeling vintage Hollywood glamour through sleek modern lines.
