For views of Bunker Hill, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Museum of Contemporary Art, or California Plaza, book either a Premier and Premier View Room.
OYSTER SPAT PLUS
There are both shower/tub combos and separate walk-in showers in the bathrooms.Ĭlub Rooms are similar to Deluxe Rooms, but come with access to the Club Lounge, which offers a great view of downtown Los Angeles, plus free continental breakfast and evening drinks and snacks. Bathrooms are generic in look, but feature large and well-lit mirrors, wide counters, hotel-brand toiletries, and bathrobes. Serta pillow-topped beds (either one king or two queens) are covered in white, crisp sheets and cushy down pillows. Deluxe Rooms, like all rooms at the Omni, feature sleek and urbane navy-blue-and-white decor with a slight Hollywood Regency vibe, as well as amenities like 42-inch flat screen HDTVs, stocked minibars, work desks, and safes big enough for laptops. 35- to 45-minute drive to Los Angeles International AirportĪt 384 square feet, Omni Los Angeles' standard-level rooms - called Deluxe Rooms - are more spacious than typical base rooms.35-minute walk to Staples Center for Lakers games and other sporting events.20-minute walk to Little Tokyo, one of L.A.'s best-kept secrets, especially for foodies who love fresh sushi and sashimi.
OYSTER SPAT MOVIE
If you want to visit Los Angeles for sunshine, beaches, celebrity sightings - basically to catch the glitzy movie star experience - you'd be better off staying in Hollywood and Beverly Hills. The ride to LAX airport is a straight shot down the 110 freeway and can take about 40 minutes, depending on traffic. It's a great location for travelers who want to check out L.A.'s art scene, the Lakers and the Dodgers, and see rock concerts. literary bad boys like Raymond Chandler and John Fante, Bunker Hill was leveled in the 1950s to make way for towering skyscraper complexes like the Wells Fargo Center and the California Plaza towers, which overshadow the Omni like power forwards closing in on a point guard. Originally a wealthy Victorian neighborhood and later a slum and stomping ground of L.A. The Omni sits on Bunker Hill in the financial district of downtown Los Angeles. For travelers who want plenty of space as well as a modicum of luxury, the Omni is probably the best choice downtown. The hotel's standard rooms are larger than most, with plush beds and nearly floor-to-ceiling. Concierge service is top-drawer, valet parking expensive, and the menu at the Noe Restaurant adventurous. The Omni is a self-contained full-service hotel with a spacious, window-filled fitness center, a spa with a sauna and steam room, a decent-sized lap pool, two restaurants, a breakfast/coffee shop, an array of meeting rooms and function halls, and an impressive two-story lobby that's a work of art in itself. Bellhops immediately grab your bag when you arrive and whisk you to the front desk and then up to your room, evening turndown service available on request (including resupply of linens), and room service is available around the clock. The Omni chain encourages each employee in its vast empire of hotels to smile, make eye contact, and remember first names - and here, they practice what the home office preaches.
OYSTER SPAT WINDOWS
The Frank Gehry-designed stainless-steel Walt Disney Concert Hall is two blocks away and can be seen from hotel windows facing west and north. The Omni Hotel chain acquired the property in 2000 and stuck to the original plan of mixing art and commerce, catering to business travelers while decorating the place with works by blue-chip artists like Frank Stella, Lita Albuquerque, and Norman Sunshine. Formerly the Hotel Intercontinental, the Omni Los Angeles opened in 1992 as part of the California Plaza complex, a group of office towers that share an outdoor shopping and food court and a water park - basically an elaborate fountain - where concerts are held in the summer. It makes the perfect introduction to the elegant and artsy Omni, part of the Texas-based hotel chain that runs nearly 50 properties in the U.S. The glass atrium lobby really defines this hotel: It's large, bright, and inviting, filled with fresh-cut orchids and art - including Yellow Fin, a 3,284-pound steel sculpture by David Stromeyer - and has a library-like nook where one can quietly read a newspaper or peck at a laptop.
