Varför människor älskar det

  • The Cara Cara rooftop bar is a legitimate LA hotspot with killer views
  • Interiors are a maximalist feast—every corner is a photo op
  • Walking distance to Crypto.com Arena and The Orpheum without feeling corporate

Snabb Överblick: A stunningly designed social club that happens to have compact hotel rooms attached.

Recenserat av @tripswithqtI honestly couldn't put my camera down—the design here is just next level. From the hand-painted lobby ceiling to the sunset views at the rooftop pool, every detail felt curated. My room was super cozy and quiet despite being in DTLA. It’s a total vibe for design lovers.

The hype

Reviewers are obsessed with the decor and rooftop vibes but consistently shocked by how small the standard rooms are.

Reality check

The 'city noise' is real—church bells ring every hour and Broadway street noise bleeds through the windows.

  • You appreciate high-concept interior design over traditional luxury
  • You want a lively rooftop scene just an elevator ride away
  • You're in town for a concert at The Orpheum or Crypto.com Arena

Renlighet & Underhåll

9
  • Housekeeping: Daily service is thorough; staff are praised for attention to detail.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate. Custom tile work is well-maintained with no visible grout issues.
  • Maintenance: The 'vintage' look is intentional (distressed rugs, patina), not neglect.
  • Linens & towels: High-quality Frette linens, crisp and fresh.
  • Odors & scents: Lobby smells of expensive candles and wood; no musty carpet smells.

Innan du bokar

Bra att veta

  • Booking direct often waives the ~$35 destination fee charged by OTAs
  • The 'pool' is more of a large plunge pool/hot tub—don't expect to swim laps
  • The neighborhood (South Park) is walkable but still gritty in pockets; stay aware at night

Vad du ska packa

  • High-quality earplugs (essential)
  • A portable steamer (ironing boards are clunky in small rooms)
  • Swimsuit for the rooftop scene (even if you don't swim, you'll lounge)

Rum Genie

Bästa val

  • Premier King for a bit more breathing room than the cramping Deluxe
  • High-floor rooms facing away from Broadway for less street noise

Rum att undvika

  • Deluxe Queen (often too tight for two people)
  • Low-floor rooms facing Broadway (maximum noise exposure)

Rumsförfrågan Genie – kopiera och klistra in

I'm a light sleeper and would love a room on a high floor, ideally facing away from the street/Broadway. If possible, I'd prefer not to be near the elevator due to the thin walls.

FAQ & Dolda tips

Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.

Is there a resort fee?

Yes, typically ~$35/night ('Destination Fee') on third-party bookings, but often waived if you book direct.

How is the parking situation?

Valet only, expensive (~$66/night + tax). There are cheaper lots nearby, but security varies.

Is the pool heated?

Yes, but it's small—think 'social dipping' rather than swimming.

Can I walk to the Crypto.com Arena?

Yes, it's an easy 10-12 minute walk.

Is it pet friendly?

Yes, very. $100 fee per stay, dogs up to 45lbs.

Is there a proper lobby?

Not really. The entrance blends directly into the Caldo Verde restaurant waiting area.


Insider-tips

  • The 'lobby' is basically the host stand for the restaurant—don't be confused when you walk in.

  • There's a hidden basketball court suite (from the building's YMCA days) if you have money to burn.

  • Morning coffee at the rooftop bar offers a much quieter, peaceful view of the city than the evening chaos.

5 saker du bör veta innan du åker

  • 💡You might hear the church bells ringing as early as 8 AM.

  • 💡The elevators can be slow during rooftop happy hour rush.

  • 💡The blackout curtains sometimes have gaps that let in the bright LA morning sun.
