Fairmont Century Plaza, Los Angeles

Fairmont Century Plaza will be the centerpiece for a highly walkable enclave where anything a discerning traveler could want can be found within the wood and glass walls, or just steps beyond them. Pedestrians can stroll from Minoru Yamasaki’s lovingly restored mid-century modern hotel to innovative outdoor retail and dining establishments. They can rendezvous for coffee or lunch beside a powerful Jaume Plensa sculpture in the grand public plaza, or toast artisanal cocktails at sunset on the hotel roof by the pool. In the heart of Los Angeles, the 400-room hotel will offer guests and locals alike a gourmet café, an French brasserie, a rooftop bar, and more. Through its design, architecture, and location, the Century Plaza Hotel has the ability to remake the past in a way that resonates with modern guests. It will be a place to see and be seen, take home that trophy, slip upstairs to celebrate, or just to retreat into a luxurious suite or one of the top-floor residences and soak up all that retro-modern beauty.
