The Hotel is in the middle of Los Angeles and hence close to everything, therefore as well close to many home less people. The interior is fantastic and the rooms really big.

Marc Switzerland

great classic style and very comfortable, staff were extremely helpful and very pleasant especially the guy in reception ( should have got his name) unfortunately like the rest of LA the street scene is not very nice with many homeless and drug addicts everywhere. As a result we won’t be revisiting.

Geoff United Kingdom

I loved the facilities overall, clean and spacious room, amazing basketball court, nice swimming pool and gym. The staff was very nice and helpful. The hotel has a great location, with plenty of restaurants near by.

Alejandro Kuwait

The LAAC is a great place to spend a weekend in DTLA. Friendly staff, nice room and use the athletic club is worth the price of the room. Good location in the city.

Steve United States

Great facilities attached … definitely worth a stay comfortable bed good food at the club lots of choice to be active or relax at the athletic club (spa, pool, fitness etc)

Antonia Germany

Stayed here on the last day of my road trip and it was absolutely wonderful. Some yoga was exactly what I needed after many days of driving and hiking, cannot recommend this enough! Good breakfast, late check-out

Alexandra United Kingdom

Everything it was so different to anywhere else we have ever stayed.

Tanya Australia

The building is a tourist attraction in itself, the room was superb. The only reason I ranked this a 9 is that the coffee machine in the room didn't work, but the rest of the stay was very nice and more than I expected.

David Norway

The hotel itself is a part of a private sports club. The rooms are on 10th, 11th and 12th floor. The rest of the facility is a big health club. There is a 25 m indoor swimming pool, a full size basketball court and a huge gym with an indoor running track. There is a bar, a restaurant, a business center and a ball room. The hotel is an old style hotel with a lot of character. I loved it.

Wiktor Australia

Gretchen and her team were absolutely amazing and very accommodating. Thank you very much for making my stay so pleasant. The rooftop was also a lovely surprise! :)
