Character and identity
Rising 73 floors above downtown Los Angeles, this is the tallest building on the West Coast and the largest InterContinental in the Americas, opened in 2017. Check-in happens on the 70th-floor Sky Lobby, reached past a Do Ho Suh figurine installation at street level. The design language nods to the city itself: a three-story chandelier made of car brake lights, billboard-inspired guest room décor, 360-degree vistas from Catalina to the Hollywood sign. Dining runs from La Boucherie steakhouse on 71 to Spire 73, the Western Hemisphere's highest open-air bar. A 24-hour Attitude Fitness gym, pool deck and Club InterContinental round it out.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-minded travellers and business guests who want height, views and a polished urban base within a 10-minute walk of Staples Center, the Grammy Museum and L.A. Live. Couples after a high-energy night out will love Spire 73's DJ sets and whiskey tastings, and event planners get rare indoor-outdoor venues with skyline backdrops.
Should look elsewhere:
Anyone seeking a quiet, low-rise boutique feel or a leafy westside location should skip it. The scale is convention-hotel large, the setting is firmly downtown rather than beachy, and families chasing a resort experience will find the programming aimed at adults.
Bottom line
The view is the product here, and almost every space, from the Sky Lobby to the 71st-floor bathrooms, is engineered around it. Book a Club InterContinental room for the lounge access, complimentary food and conference space with floor-to-ceiling cityscapes; the upcharge genuinely earns its keep. Aim for a stay that includes a Friday or Saturday night at Spire 73.
