Los Angeles International Airport (LAX): Approximate driving time is 30 minutes and distance is 18.5 miles.

Driving directions from Los Angeles International Airport: Follow signs to take I-105 (Century Fwy) east to I-110 (Harbor Fwy) north. Continue on SR-110 (Pasadena Fwy) north and exit to 9th St. Bear left to get on James M. Wood Blvd, then turn left on S Figueroa St.

Getting there: The best option from the airport is a third-party shuttle ($16–$25; fees subject to change without notice), or a rental car.

Getting around: DASH community transportation (less than $5) is a good option within the downtown area. Public buses (less than $5) or taxis are a good choice for short trips outside the immediate area. A rental car is a good option for those planning a lot of travel outside downtown. Parking ($16–$25) is available at the hotel. (All fees subject to change without notice.)

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.

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.

Valet parking only:
