Ace Hotel's DTLA location has helped to turn the tide on the Broadway theater district. Housed in the former United Artists building, the hotel pays homage to L.A.'s essence—a seamless harmony of California minimalism and Downtown L.A.'s signature art deco style. Plus, the historic United Artists Theatre was restored and is now available for events of all kinds. Inside, the hotel has exposed concrete galore with sleek fixtures and furniture, a style that also creeps into the hotel's restaurant, Loam. Guests stay in thoughtfully designed rooms with plenty of amenities, plus a state-of-the-art fitness center, rooftop pool and the aptly titled bar Upstairs.
Where is it? South Broadway, slap bang in the middle of the Theater District.
Which room? Every room at the Ace is, well, ace, but trade up for a Medium with Terrace for that extra bit of pizzazz.
Time Out tip: Trade four wheels for two when exploring the city. The Ace offers free bike hire.
