LOS ANGELES · WHERE TO STAY
Two hotels.
Two different bases.
Pick the part of Los Angeles that best suits your plans: Grand Avenue’s downtown arts district or Century City on the Westside.
Both hotels hold a 2026 Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star rating.
DOWNTOWN · GRAND AVENUE
Conrad Los Angeles
FORBES FOUR-STAR · 2026Contemporary rooms, a rooftop pool terrace and a setting opposite Walt Disney Concert Hall make Conrad an appealing base for an arts-focused stay. Its architecture and interiors fit the creative character of Grand Avenue, with The Broad nearby.
Choose it when downtown museums, performances and dining feature prominently in your plans. Hollywood and the coast require separate journeys.
100 South Grand Avenue · Los Angeles

Fairmont Century Plaza
FORBES FOUR-STAR · 2026This Century City landmark offers a different Los Angeles setting, with refined rooms, dining and an extensive spa. Its Avenue of the Stars address places you on the Westside, convenient for a stay centered on Century City and nearby Beverly Hills.
Choose it for a Westside base and time to enjoy the hotel itself. Plan transport to the Getty, Hollywood or the beach rather than treating those places as walkable neighbors.
