Beautiful Downtown Los Angeles Hotels

Los Angeles is vast. Putting yourself in the center of the city is smart, and downtown Los Angeles hotels come in a wide range, both high-end and low-end. Stick with our suggestions to immerse yourself in style and history without risking a travel disaster.

Millennium Biltmore Hotel

Love movies? The Millennium Biltmore Hotel has been in hundreds of them, from “Vertigo” and “Ghostbusters to “Bridesmaids.” Pictures and memorabilia in the corridors remind you that the Oscars have been handed out in this hotel. And why not? For nearly a century, the beautifully sculpted and painted ceilings have led to exquisite settings for meetings, libations or meals. Try an afternoon tea in the Rendezvous Court with its ornate staircase or enjoy Asian offerings at the very modern Bugis Street Brasserie.

Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites

Whether you’re looking up at the cylindrical glass towers of the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites or out at the city from inside the hotel, the views are stunning–including those from the rooftop steak house. The Westin Bonaventure features both the biggest spa and ballroom in the city, as well as business, meeting and conference facilities.

The Historic Mayfair Hotel

If budget is a consideration when picking your hotel, you will love The Historic Mayfair Hotel on West 7th Street. Renovations are ongoing and the hotel restaurant is closed–but that’s a good thing as it keeps room rates down. Besides, the Mayfair is surrounded by excellent pubs and eateries to choose from. Even though the Mayfair was built in 1926, the rooms are basic and modern, so you’ll have a great base from which to visit the Staples Center, world-class music venues and the LA Convention Center.

Omni Los Angeles Hotel

Reasonably priced luxury is the word at the Omni Los Angeles Hotel. Plush bedding, a 24-hour fitness room, a heated lap pool, a kids program, convention facilities, the Noé Restaurant for dining or late-night cocktails–it’s all here. The Omni Los Angeles Hotel sits atop Bunker Hill and is part of the California Plaza, where you can relax and watch jet fountains, a waterfall or on-stage events.

All of these great Los Angeles hotels are within walking distance of many downtown attractions like the Disney Concert Hall, the Performing Arts Center, Grand Park and the Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as historic sites like Olvera Street and Union Station. Also nearby is Chinatown, the Staples Center and various live entertainment venues. In short–every option you need for a fabulous stay is just a short distance away.
