Hilton announces the opening of Conrad Los Angeles. The 305-room hotel is anchored within The Grand LA, the newest destination for shopping, dining, entertainment and a premiere place to live in downtown Los Angeles. Designed by architect Frank Gehry with interior design from world-renowned Tara Bernerd & Partners, Conrad Los Angeles is home to two original food and beverage concepts from José Andrés and ThinkFoodGroup.
San Laurel, located on the 10th floor with views overlooking the Disney concert hall, takes you on a tour of flavors that find their roots in Spain but take their cues from California by highlighting the local ingredients from the Golden State. Breakfast and dinner will be available at San Laurel and menu highlights include Bone-in Wagyu Ribeye; Grilled Romaine with Manchego Espuma; and Roasted Celeriac Carpaccio.
Across from San Laurel on the outdoor terrace is Agua Viva, Conrad Los Angeles’ rooftop restaurant with a menu of shared plates and cocktails in an open-air dining room with views of the city. Menu highlights include Txule Ribeye Burger; DIY Handrolls; and Piña Borracha.
On the property’s roof deck, Airlight, a pool deck offering a menu of handheld bites, cocktails, and views of DTLA. Shareable menu items include Tiki Punch Bowls, Grilled Skewers and house-made Push Pops.
SED, designed to celebrate the spirit of the desert and the Pacific Ocean, showcases popular spirits and flavors. Menu highlights include Tomato Rosette and Japanese Whisky Milk Punch.
Conrad Los Angeles’ culinary concepts will be open for reservations as of Friday, July 8, 2022.
Upon entering the hotel, guests will find themselves transported to a chic yet seductive atmosphere. An undulating ceiling in the lobby echoes the rhythms of the building’s façade and lines are blurred between indoor and verdant outdoor spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows. The arrival bar offers a striking piece of history, made out of polished and glazed molten lava that is 11,000 years old in the lobby from the quarries of Lake Iseo in Lombardy. A rich palette of pale linens, interspersed with sophisticated blues, rich woven fabrics and pops of mustard yellow complements the wide-planked pale oak floors, polished concrete and Ceppo stone and contrasts pleasingly with the many planters placed throughout the lobby.
The hotel’s guestrooms feature a mix of wide-planked pale oak floors and natural linen walls, in-suite dining, an open wardrobe with a seat and mirror, an L-shaped sofa, and a personalized mini-bar. Accommodations range from standard guest rooms to presidential suites. The Grand Avenue Suite has a private terrace with views of the city along with a dining room with a six-seat dining table, a formal living room with a built-in bar, a master bedroom with a five-piece bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe.
Spanning over 7,000 square feet and complete with seven treatment rooms, Conrad Spa Los Angeles offers body care and recovery products, an enlightenment lounge, infrared sauna, a Gharieni Welnamis wavetable, and recovery cabins.
The contemporary hotel is located at 100 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, California, 90012.
