This historic grand dame in the city’s financial district has welcomed United States presidents, visiting royalty, and numerous celebrities into a palatial setting just four blocks from the Performing Arts Center of Los Angeles and one mile from the convention center.
Renovated rooms in this 11-story classic hotel, built in 1923, sport warm woods and handsome shades of gold, cream, and ivory. French shutters adorn windows that open, and baths are tiled in white.
Reasons alone to visit this handsomely restored art-deco masterpiece are the extraordinary hand-painted ceilings, impressive public areas, and the original tiled indoor pool that was designed to depict the days of Pompei.
