Features
What to expect: This 14-story property attracts primarily conventioneers and corporate travelers, headed to or from meetings. Two restaurants and a bar are located adjacent to the lobby, and a step-down lounge beckons guests for informal drinks and snacks. Though located within the financial whirl, this hotel manages to evoke serenity. Amenity highlights: The art-filled lobby fascinates with its dual moods—sunlit and casual on one side, formal and chandelier-lit on the other. The adjacent palm-fringed outdoor pool and sundeck offer peaceful respite from the downtown chaos. An adjoining garden restaurant looks onto this perfectly manicured landscape, and guests can dine indoors or al fresco. A second-floor walkway connects the hotel with both the World Trade Center and the YMCA. Insider tip: In case you forgot your cell phone (or the battery inopportunely died), you’ll find public phones off the lobby, behind the gift shop. This hidden fortress has four individual booths, decked out in marble, with built-in benches, thick cushions, note pads, and pens. Telephone books, spanning all of Greater L.A., can be found within the marble-encased stand nearby.
Bistro 333: Upscale California cuisine is served for lunch or dinner in the hotel’s premier restaurant with intimate seating areas and etched glass partitions. The Back Porch: This informal garden room, adjacent to the lobby and pool, serves breakfast and lunch and offers outdoor dining. Moody’s Bar and Grille: American fare is served for dinner in this traditional sports bar. Lobby Bar and Lounge: Continental breakfast, light meals, and cocktails are served at this centrally located lobby bar and step-down lounge.
