Conrad Los Angeles is now a new LA luxury hotel and the first California property for the brand. Find it in Los Angeles’s downtown area within The Grand LA, architect Frank Gehry’s last megaproject, encompassing shopping, dining and entertainment and surrounded by streets of art galleries, bookstores, coffee houses and lifestyle boutiques. 

The 305-room hotel adds to the dynamic energy that is now fueling the city’s cultural corridor. It not only bears the signature of the legendary Frank Gehry, it also features an interior design focus from notable Tara Bernerd & Partners.

Adding to the contemporary feel of the Conrad Los Angeles are some original food and beverage concepts from Chef José Andrés and his supportive ThinkFoodGroup.

Creative Culinary at the Conrad Los Angeles

San Laurel, located on the 10th-floor with views overlooking the iconic Disney concert hall, brings the flavors of Spain with some California zest using fresh, local ingredients from the Golden State. Breakfast and dinner will be available at San Laurel and menu highlights include Bone-in Wagyu Ribeye; Grilled Romaine with Manchego Espuma; and Roasted Celeriac Carpaccio.

Just across from San Laurel on the outdoor terrace is Agua Viva, a chic rooftop restaurant where Andrés mixes Latin and Asian flavors on shared plates and serves refreshing cocktails in an open-air dining room with sweeping panoramic views of the city. Menu highlights include Txule Ribeye Burger; DIY Handrolls; and Piña Borracha.

On the property’s roof deck, enjoyAirlight, a pool deck offering a menu of handheld bites, creative cocktails and views of DTLA. Shareable menu items include Tiki Punch Bowls, Grilled Skewers and house-made Push Pops.

Conrad’s Eye on Design

Upon entering the hotel, guests will find themselves in a chic and seductive atmosphere.  An undulating ceiling in the lobby brings in the rhythms of the building’s façade and lines are blurred between indoor and green outdoor spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows. The arrival bar offers a striking piece of history: it is made out of polished and glazed molten lava that is 11,000 years old. Ceppo di Gre stone in the lobby from the quarries of Lake Iseo in Lombardy add to the effect as do wide-planked pale oak floors, polished concrete and pleasing planters placed throughout the lobby.

Throughout the reception and lobby spaces find curated artwork by Tatar Art Projects, showcasing prominent local artists and giving guests a taste of LA’s flourishing art industry.

Stunning guest rooms feature a calming mix of wide-planked pale oak floors and natural linen walls, in-suite dining, an open wardrobe with seat and mirror, an L-shaped sofa, and a personalized mini-bar. Accommodations range from standard guest rooms to presidential suites, which are designed to feel like the guest’s own personal LA penthouse apartment. The Grand Avenue Suite is the ultimate expression of luxury, boasting a private terrace with unrivaled views of the city along with a dining room with six-seat dining table, a formal living room with built in bar, a spacious master bedroom with a five-piece bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, all designed by Tara Bernerd & Partners to showcase the elegance of a mid-20th century modernist home.

Serene Spa

Conrad Spa Los Angeles offers its own take on the art of relaxation by transforming the traditional spa into a deeper and more meaningful guest experience with a new boundary-free wellness concept. This has been reflected in the calm, inviting interior design and a variety of highly-tailored, ayurvedic, and innovative treatments featuring cult-beauty lines.

The 7,000-square-foot spa brings seven treatment rooms, a curated wellness bar with body care and recovery products, an enlightenment lounge, infrared sauna, a Gharieni Welnamis wavetable, and recovery cabins. Guests can rediscover balance and restoration through knowledgeable master bodyworkers who provide personalized massage treatments that utilize specific techniques like Intuitive and Thai Massages, Ayurveda Dosha Balancing, and Body Couture Treatment.

Meet at the Conrad LA 

Channeling the energy of downtown LA, Conrad Los Angeles offers guests a variety of experiential opportunities, from meetings and corporate events to parties and celebrations of any size. The property features 12,000 square feet of contemporary events and meeting spaces for up to 300 guests, including a 4,800 square foot ballroom with pre-function space and a connecting terrace to accommodate any occasion.
