Character and identity

Set in a 1926 California Renaissance Revival pile that once housed a private fitness club for the likes of Cecil B. DeMille, this 148-room South Park hotel is Kelly Wearstler's most unrestrained statement in Los Angeles. Expect domed frescoed ceilings, Abel Macias's lobby mural, more than 100 tile patterns, and a magpie's haul of Turkish, Mexican and Moroccan textiles. Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne run all three F&B outlets: Caldo Verde on the ground floor, rooftop Cara Cara with its checkerboard pool, and 18-seat art deco speakeasy Dahlia. Service runs personal and unstarched rather than formal.

Who's it for

Best for:
Design-literate couples and creative-industry travellers who want maximalist interiors, serious cooking, and a rooftop scene with skyline views. A strong pick for anyone using the Crypto.com Arena, Grammy Museum, Fashion District or The Theatre at the Ace, and for guests happy to treat the hotel itself as the attraction.

Should look elsewhere:
Families and spa-seekers should skip it: there is no spa, only a (well-equipped) gym with Peloton and Tonal. DTLA is still finding its feet post-pandemic, so travellers wanting a polished, walkable luxury neighbourhood will be happier in Beverly Hills or Santa Monica.

Bottom line

The draw here is the building itself and the cooking inside it: a Wearstler design exercise with Goin and Styne running the kitchens, which is a rare combination in Los Angeles. Worth it for design pilgrims and downtown culture-goers. Book a westward-facing room from the seventh floor up for skyline views, or the Pool Suite if budget allows, and arrive at Cara Cara before sunset.
