San Laurel terrace boasts unparalleled city views including the Walt Disney Concert Hall

Boasting unparalleled city views and proximity to some of Los Angeles’ most prominent cultural venues including the Walt Disney Concert Hall, MOCA, The Broad, the Ahmanson Theater, and Mark Taper Forum, the hotel is anchored within The Grand LA, Related Companies‘ destination for shopping, dining, entertainment and a premiere place to live in downtown Los Angeles. Launched in July 2022, Conrad Los Angeles marked the first West Coast property of the globally renowned Conrad Hotels & Resorts, one of Hilton’s (NYSE: HLT) three distinct luxury hotel brands.

The experience at Conrad Los Angeles evolves into a culinary journey with destination dining from award-winning Spanish-American chef José Andrés.

San Laurel dining

• San Laurel, located on the 10th-floor with captivating views overlooking the iconic Disney concert hall, takes you on a tour of flavors that find their roots in Spain but take their cues from California by highlighting the fresh, local ingredients from the Golden State.

The Beaudry Room

• Located in the lobby of Conrad Los Angeles, The Beaudry Room with its classic-modern design and terrace with fire pits and pool views create an inviting atmosphere for pre-dinner drinks and late-night gatherings.
• Perched atop the hotel’s expansive rooftop terrace, Airlight is a lively poolside escape where bold flavors and picturesque views of DTLA come together.

Internationally Acclaimed Design
With Frank Gehry’s visionary architecture and internationally acclaimed interior design from Tara Bernerd & Partners, Conrad Los Angeles embraces the vibrant creativity of downtown LA. The interiors draw inspiration from and respond to the complexity of Gehry’s captivating structure. Taking cues from the architecture of downtown Los Angeles itself, with its rich architectural heritage and vibrant art scene, the resulting interiors bring a layered warmth and timeless elegance for which Tara Bernerd is renowned.

Upon entering the hotel, guests will find themselves transported to a chic yet seductive atmosphere. An undulating ceiling in the lobby echoes the rhythms of the building’s façade and lines are blurred between indoor and verdant outdoor spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows. The arrival bar offers a striking piece of history, made out of polished and glazed molten lava that is 11,000 years old as well as Ceppo di Gre stone in the lobby from the quarries of Lake Iseo in Lombardy. A rich palette of pale linens, interspersed with sophisticated blues, rich woven fabrics and pops of mustard yellow complements the wide-planked pale oak floors, polished concrete and Ceppo stone and contrasts pleasingly with the many planters placed throughout the lobby.

Throughout the reception and lobby spaces, artwork has been curated in collaboration with Judith Tatar of Tatar Art Projects, showcasing prominent local artists such as Mimi Jung, Ben Medansky, and Brian Wills. Casper Brindle continues the theme of California culture with his bright and inviting portal-glyph paintings and artist Jon Krawczyk brings his sculpture work to life on the property’s event lawn. These modern art installations further build upon Conrad Hotels & Resorts’ commitment to sparking connections between guests and strengthening the connection to the Los Angeles community, providing guests an inside look into LA’s flourishing art industry.

Guestrooms take in sweeping city views

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. While taking in the sweeping city views, in-suite relaxation is amplified with Byredo bath products. Accommodations range from standard guest rooms to presidential suites, which are designed to feel like the guest’s own personal LA penthouse apartment.
