Warum Gäste es lieben
- The 70th-floor Sky Lobby check-in offers the best free view in the city
- Spire 73 is the tallest open-air bar in the Western Hemisphere
- Rooms start on the 31st floor, so there are literally no bad views
Kurzfassung: A stunning skyscraper hotel where you'll spend half your stay waiting for elevators to transfer you between the street, the 70th-floor lobby, and your room.
Bewertet von @Arjayricafort949: I checked into the Intercontinental DTLA and that sunset view from the 61st floor blew my mind. The room is super modern with a killer bathroom setup. Even with the lobby wait, watching the city light up from bed made this staycation unforgettable.

Reality check
You will likely wait 10+ minutes for elevators during peak checkout times or when a conference is in town.
- You are a view junkie who wants to see the Hollywood Sign from bed

- You love rooftop bars and want priority access to the hottest one in town
Sauberkeit & Instandhaltung
8.8
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though missed dust in corners is a common minor complaint.
- Bathroom hygiene: High standard. Grout and glass are usually sparkling, though water pressure can vary on super high floors.
- Maintenance: The building is relatively new (2017), so wear is minimal, but expect some scuffs in high-traffic elevator lobbies.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, high-thread-count sheets. Towels are plush but sometimes scarce—ask for extra at check-in.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of signature luxury hotel scent (white tea/thyme vibes); rooms are generally neutral but can smell stale if AC isn't running.

FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the 7th-floor outdoor pool is heated and includes a hot tub, but it can get windy and shaded by the tower in the afternoon.
Can I walk to the Crypto.com Arena?
Yes, it's about a 10-15 minute safe walk down Figueroa Street.
Is there free parking nearby?
No. DTLA parking is aggressive. You can find cheaper lots ($30-40) a few blocks away, but on-site valet is the only convenient option.
Does the room have a coffee maker?
Yes, rooms typically come with a Keurig or Nespresso machine.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, pets are allowed (up to 40 lbs) for a non-refundable fee of roughly $125 per stay.
Is breakfast included?
Usually no. The 'Dekkadance' buffet is expensive (~$44/person). Check if your booking rate includes it.
Insider-Tipps
- ✨
If you are on the 31st floor, you might be able to skip the transfer loop by using the lower bank elevators directly (ask staff if this hack is active).
- ✨
The 'No Dive Bar' on the 7th floor pool deck is often quieter and cheaper than Spire 73.
- ✨
Use the 'The Bloc' shopping center across the street for cheaper eats and a Target for water/snacks.
5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The windows are often dirty on the outside—cleaning a 73-story building is a logistical nightmare.
💡You will feel your ears pop every time you take the express elevator to the 70th floor.
💡The bathroom privacy is questionable in some rooms; sliding glass doors don't always seal sound or sight perfectly.
💡The 'Resort Fee' includes laundry credit ($20) that is almost impossible to use effectively given hotel laundry prices.
💡The wind at the street-level entrance can be fierce due to the skyscraper wind tunnel effect.
