"A 305-room hotel designed by Frank Gehry that feels boutique despite its scale, the property features a dramatic 10th-level lobby with soaring ceilings and light-dappled spaces, calming oak-and-linen guest rooms stocked with Byredo bath products, and a standout ground-floor restaurant by chef José Andrés offering Spanish-rooted, California-ingredient dishes. Guests also enjoy a 16,000-square-foot rooftop terrace with a private pool deck and spa, and a walkable location near major cultural venues such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall, MOCA, and the Broad." - Chris Dong

"Maintains a fairly restrictive weight limit for canine guests, permitting dogs up to 25 pounds, which can exclude many larger-breed pets." - Bailey Berg
"A luxurious hotel in the Hilton portfolio, known for its sleek design and convenient location in downtown Los Angeles."
"The Walt Disney Concert Hall has long been the crowning jewel of historic Bunker Hill, and famed architect Frank Gehry has upped the ante with the opening of his first hotel project in Los Angeles. Located just across the street from the striking stainless steel home of the L.A. Philharmonic (also designed by Ghery), the Conrad is the ideal outpost for an art-obsessed traveler, within walking distance of The Broad Museum, The Music Center, Angel’s Flight Railway, and MOCA. The entrance to the Conrad is a jaw-dropping one, with the elevator opening up onto floor-to-ceiling views of the swooshes of the Disney Concert Hall. Corner rooms offer similarly spectacular vistas, and on a clear day, you can see all the way down to the Dodger Stadium and San Gabriel Mountains. But it’s not just the exteriors that are top-notch. Extra touches in all of the spaces include full blackout shades, motion-activated nightlights under the bed skirts, and Byredo Mojave Ghost bath products. The spa treatments stand up to the city’s best, and considering there are five separate culinary experiences curated by Chef José Andrés, this is the kind of hotel where you could easily drop your bags and never leave. From modernist cocktails at Sed and Spanish tapas at San Laurel to laid-back, beachy rooftop dining at Agua Viva, there’s truly something for every traveler." - Krista Simmons, Celeste Moure
