On September 27, 2021, the Los Angeles’ famed Century Plaza hotel will reopen following a $2.5B renovation. Born on the former site of a 20th Century Studios backlot in 1966, the legendary Century Plaza has always been at the center of where business meets Hollywood – from the Beatles winning big at the 10th annual Grammy Awards to the first Presidential State Dinner ever held outside the White House, hosted by President Nixon to honor the Apollo 11 expedition.
Originally deemed “The Hotel of the Future,” famed architect Minoru Yamasaki’s mid-century modern icon returns as the centerpiece of a mixed-use development project on 6.14 acres, which includes two 44-story towers with 94,000 square feet of boutique shopping and 268 privately-owned luxury residences.

The property has been completely reimagined with 400 expansive guest rooms featuring private terraces, 63 luxury residences, the 14,000 square-foot Fairmont Spa Century Plaza, Lumière – a French-inspired Brasserie, and 24,000 square-feet of private event space touting one of the largest ballrooms in Los Angeles.
Fairmont Gold, the brand’s exclusive hotel-within-a-hotel experience, features 70 guest rooms and suites boasting private check-in and checkout; exclusive access to the exquisite Gold Lounge; and dedicated Personal Assistants offering 24/7 concierge service. Even turn down gets a novel upgrade with The Fairmont Gold Bar Cart, an on-demand martini cart that delivers customized cocktails straight to guests’ doors.
Lumière, crafted by EDG Design, is a traditional French-inspired brasserie that evokes the feeling of being transported to 1920s Paris. Open for all-day service, Lumière is an inviting neighborhood spot that celebrates timeless bohemian glamour with a fresh West Coast perspective. The menu is overseen by Executive Chef Ramon Bojorquez. Featuring local, seasonal ingredients and refined dishes, brasserie favorites include French onion soup, steak frites, seafood towers and magnums of Champagne. The Bar at Century Plaza is the pièce de résistance of the hotel’s lobby, surrounded by a living green wall, floating fireplace and water feature.
The Rooftop Pool offers views of Los Angeles, including the Pacific Ocean, the Getty Museum, and the Hollywood Hills. The Pool Bar features whimsical beverages with Southern California flair that can be enjoyed poolside or in one of the nearby cabanas.

The hotel is also home to a collection of art from around the world, including its signature piece, Laura. Sitting on the front drive at 23-feet tall, the serene mesh sculpture was created by internationally celebrated Spanish artist Juame Plensa.
Fairmont Century Plaza is conveniently located on the corner of Avenue of the Stars and Constellation Boulevard at 2025 Avenue of the Stars in the heart of Century City, Los Angeles.
