We got a room block here for our wedding and it was an incredible experience - so easy to set up! As if that wasn’t enough, when we checked in the hotel and facilities turned out to be amazing. Our guests raved about the incredible spa, gym, and sports facilities and the hotel rooms and staff were also top notch. Also, the included breakfast every day was delicious! We recommend using them for your next event and hope to be guests there again soon.

This hotel is like a castle. I love how the building looks especially at night. This is very accessible for me, and the rooms and foods are very affordable. Their customer service and the experience were greatly appreciated and very commendable. The rooms were quite large, comfortable, and clean. I strongly recommend this hotel.

We loved our stay at LAAC. The room was clean and large - the king bed was very comfortable! All of the staff were kind! Although the neighborhood at night is a little sketchy, we found the central location to all the metro lines and great bars and restaurants to be really helpful! We’d definitely stay here again during our next trip.

It was a beautiful classy place Ive never seen anything like it. Lots of history and culture

Historical & Elegantly Special! Cant wait to get back for another stay and to Shoot Hoops on such an Incredible Basketball Court!....WoW!

Going to this hotel was like going back in time. The hotel and gym area are very 1920s/1930s. Never would I have guessed that a gym had a hotel on top. This is definitely a place for athletes in mind although all are well. The front desk attendant was so awesome in explaining the history of the hotel to me. Hotel has been around about a hundred years, really hard to believe. My room for the night was perfect. Great view. My only complaint would be that I believe a water cooler is used instead of air conditioning. Some of the items in the room felt kind of damp.

Its located in the heart of Downtown LA. the staff are out of this World, they always treat us like royalty. Hotel has great facilities and a delicious breakfast. Its my hotel when I visit LA.

This is a wonderful club i use to be member 20 years ago and just went back and stay at the hotel. Right know some areas of the hotel are under construction,But hopefully they finish soon. I would love to go back again. Everything inside the decoration, the facilities the staffs are wonderful. Has a lot of beautiful places to sit down and enjoy.

Revoking my membership. This place barely has any type of 5 star service. Waste of money. Gym is terrible for an “athletic” club. Everyone is crammed inside and it closes at 8pm on weekdays and 4:30pm on weekend.The food at invention bar and plunge cafe is disgusting.Go somewhere else.

The general manager here is very unprofessional and not fit to manage a property of this nature. He cannot even conduct himself like a business man and take a phone call. His name is Steve Hathaway. I hope this is brought to the owners attention and it gets taken into consideration. The front desk staff is very nice and much more fit to handle such a position!

Great work out facilities and locker room! Nice staff.

Very cool place to stay (Hotel)...beware of ghosts though...

Management of the private club has diminished since covid and is unrepairable. Club is empty most if the time and the food is overpriced and bland.

For what its worth, this is a beautiful gym both inside and out. While I have not been able to work how on the inside of the gym, I have still seen it and I cant wait until the quarantine lift so that I can enjoy the inside.However, these people more brilliant enough to master mind and Outdoors gym, and which they took some of the equipment and put it Outdoors. I get such great workouts from the way things are set up, and I dont have to worry about my health being compromised.Their parking structure is essentially set up for social distancing. Even though the gym is outside, the customer service skills and Hospitality are still up to par. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone that is looking for some state-of-the-art gym equipment, and some respectful employees.

Loved all the seating areas throughout the hotel and the darker tones used to decorate were fabulous.

Fantastic hotel accomodations. Centrally located, beautiful facilities, and outstanding service!

The best members only club in Los Angeles. Amazing staff, top-shelf facilities and amazing events/food/drinks!

I checked in and everything seemed to be perfect. Then we got up to our room and found no sheets on the bed and crumbs all over the desk. I called the front desk to only be told to come down and they would take care of us. We went downstairs and they let us know they had no more rooms. After a long flight back to LA we had to find a place to stay. I am so disappointed on how they handled everything.

Clean hotel with wonderful amenities & walking distance to so many restaurants and shops - I’ll definitely be back!

The l. a. Athletic club is a superb time. In phrases of meals there are some high-quality vegetarian alternatives on the menu... my friends and i break up plantains as an app which come especially recommended. The fruit-infused rum is intensly sweet and an special, amusing change. On a friday night there was a diverse and thrilling crowd that contributed to the l. a. Athletic membership laid-lower back and a laugh ecosystem. basic it is a clean place to be, in particular if (like me) you are on an overload of Italian food.

The sauna/steam room/jacuzzi combo is a win for me. I love this place.

Relaxing moment with family and friends. Very friendly staff; amazing amenities to make a memorable stay...

We have many wonderful things to say about this hotel property and the outstanding hospitality it provided to us to ensure it would be an unforgettable stay. This is a beautiful resort-like hotel at very reasonable prices with a feel like being on a cruise ship. The facilities are comfortable, and the location on the bay is quiet and romantic. We want to thank all who provided outstanding service to us!

I absolutely love this place & Im so thankful for hearing about them & becoming a member. Katrina is our go to person as shes all knowing & amazing! Mos group classes are awesome & Im becoming so much stronger because of him. I highly recommend his 6am kettlebells class! Benita is also a wonderful instructor & her Thursday morning stretch class on the rooftop brings me so much peace of mind; its like meditating, but better. Besides the gym aspect, LAAC has so many useful & awesome features to offer its members; I cant wait until theyre fully operational like they used to be. If youre thinking about joining, stop & just do. You wont regret it & you can thank me later.

I booked this through a third party. They didn’t disclose that check in is at 3pm. Im here for a Dr’s appointment. Literally waiting in the dining area to check in at 3. I’m cranky and tired. Lesson learned....next time I will call the location myself. Instead of listening to what hotel.com says. Because on the website it said check in afternoon. So I’m thinking 12pm. I booked my flight to coincide with the check in. I’m highly annoyed.

The rooms are a good size and beds are comfortable.

Im so impressed with this hotel! The staff is one of the biggest assets they have. The rooms are large and nicely designed, roomy desk and clean and large bathroom with large counter space. The dining room is excellent, with a variety of different themes for dinner. Overall, its a nice experience staying at this hotel.

The staff at the hotel were excellent! The room was very well decorated, and the beds were very nice. The room was very clean and comfortable.

This hotel was the biggest and cleanest hotel that I ever had. The staves were so accommodating and nice. The pool area was so clean and safe for my children. Also, the view was so breathtaking from above. The bathroom was spacious and the room was so clean. Thank you guys, you made our short vacay memorable. A 5-star rating for you guys. Highly recommended!

My review is for membership of the LA Athletic Club, not the hotel. I have been a member for the last ~1.5 years and have been very impressed by their response to the pandemic and health and safety of the members. The gym has largely moved outdoors into the parking garage which is considerably better equipped than other fitness facilities currently operating in DTLA. Their staff is highly attentive to the wellbeing of their member and I am grateful to have a place to safety work out during this pandemic.

Its a very nice and relaxing atmosphere. The interior in the lobby alone sets an inspiration of luxurious relaxation. From the lobby to the quest rooms the warm wood tones to the low lighting. Relaxation for guest is clearly a priority. If your staying as a guest make sure to pack your swim suit so you can enjoy the wide range of amenities from an Olympic size pool to the Neptune spa. In the morning enjoy a nice morning cup of coffee or tea at the poolside cafe. Wind down in the evening with any one of the multiple kinds of massages at the Neptune spa. Want to do something with your significant other. Why not try the restaurant on the 3rd floor. Want to have drink after dinner before heading to the room? Try the bar known for its selection of 50 different whiskeys.

Very pleased. Staff was welcoming and helpful when needed. Quiet and well preserved rooms. Laid back relaxing atmosphere.

Stayed better for two nights. The place is fabulous. Staff is so friendly , breakfast is superb and the room is clean and well stocked and the bed was super comfy. Its on the pricey side but if youre a member or have a family member who is the rates are the best in down town LA for the amenities you get here. Three gym kokks great and comes with a stay but I didnt use it. Definitely my go to place when in Los Angeles.

Loved this place. Highly recommended to others!

I went to one of The Wine Cellar rooms there it was really nice and cozy 2 have a meal or some appetizers with some friends. Its a good place to have a small gathering of about 10 to 15 people for business or pleasure. Good thing about this place is that you have the club going to have events parking is adjacent to the building and so you dont have to get wet in the rain when you go from the parking lot to the building.

Comfortable and close to fashion district

I thought It was a great hotel. The customer service was very good. The staff was professional, pleasant and accommodating. Gretchen, who was always there to answer our questions and concerns was extremely helpful. Also this hotel has awesome amenities. Pool, basketball court, workout machines, library room, spa, were all spacious and conveniently located. I had a great time working out there and swimming. Overall this hotel definitely exceeded my expectations.

A great athletic club! We were members here for years (pre-COVID). I used to swim a mile every other day in the gorgeous indoor pool on the 6th floor that Ester Williams used to swim in. It has a lovely view of the LA skyscrapers. I met Kobe Bryant here, when he was filming a commercial. There is a beautiful basketball 🏀 court. There are full workout facilities and a beautiful ballroom where they would have elegant events and fabulous buffets. Years ago, the buffets would have a gorgeous ice sculpture as a centerpiece, with caviar and champagne 🥂 🍾 . Also,the 8th floor is a fun place to hang out and shoot some pool. Parking is validated if you are a member. Some day, we’ll join again, after this COVID mess is over. Those were the days💕It has reciprocity with the New York Athletic Club and the Olympic Club in San Francisco, as well as other athletic clubs around the country.

The Athletic Club does have lots of restaurants and shops to purchase food and drinks. Pricing is decent considering the ambience of the hotel and room.They have living room and dining table which are nice.

I love this place! Authentic Los Angeles history in a beautiful spot with amazing amenities and historic rooms. Perfectly located to all downtown. Great staff. My favorite place in LA!

From the time we contacted them and made our reservation the attendant was great. Once we got to the LAAC everything was excellent....the staff, our room, the restaurant food was excellent and excellent service! Very impressed. Will definitely stay again when in L.A.

4 stars because of the weight room. The weight room is small with old equipment, mediocre at best. The rest of the club is great. The bathroom is spacious and accommodating. The spa is also very nice. I came here as a guest, but wouldnt pay the membership fee they are asking for because of the weight room.

If you want to maintain your fitness regimen while you visit Los Angeles, this is the place for you. The room that I stayed in was adequate and the bed comfortable. The complimentary breakfast was excellent and a proper breakfast! The history of the building and the club is all around you, from the dark leather furniture to the trophy collections to the Wooden and Chaplin memorabilia. But the best amenity of the stay was the access to the gym, pool, and courts. Lots of equipment, barbells, and dumbbells for any type of workout, and a running track to keep your heartbeat up. The locker room is by far the best and cleanest I have visited ANYWHERE. I didnt have time to experience the rooftop or the hotel bars, but I will be back the next time Im in LA!

I absolutely loved this hotel which is also an athletic club. The manager, Gretchen, was very helpful, very nice and very accommodating. We had enjoyed the Olympics size pool, the spa and the steam room, not to mention the jacuzzi and the quiet room in womens locker area. The area is kept very clean, floors are dry, employees are very nice. There is a full basketball court, numerous rooms to play squash, the gym, aerobics room. The breakfast is included in this hotel with organic products. There is a huge library where you can relax and read books . The metro station is within the walking distance. Great place to spend time in aside the sight seeing of the city.

My friend was visiting me and he was in this hotel for a week. I went there a couple of times and I was surprised how good place is this. Everything was so clean. The rooms are massive and with great view. The staff is amazing. If you are not feeling okey you can stay in the hotel, they have a lot of different stuff inside.

Good location for downtown, but far from anything you might actually want to do or see in Los Angeles.Its a classic hotel with an old Hollywood feel.Breakfast is above average.Views are minimal.Some staff are wonderful such as Ernie and BK, others, sour and unhelpful.Awesome gym facilities (as to be expected)

Great stay at a historic hotel with great decor and amenities at a good price. What could be better? Rooms were adequate, bed was comfortable, complimentary breakfast was top notch. Wish I could have visited the gym and the pool which both looked awesome. Would definitely book again.

I cant speak for the entire facility because I only explored the space we used for a networking mixer. It appears to be historic looking inside with lovely views of downtown. The room we used worked perfect for the event. The building has character and Id definitely would attend a future event here.They have garage parking on Olive St (you could easily pass it if you werent paying attention) or pay a flat rate of $8 across the street at a lot.

Swanky gym with lots of members only perks. If you live downtown this is the place to be. If not the drive and parking might be more of a hassle, but the building has so much character inside it takes your breath away, so it just might make it worth it in the end.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were nicely decorated and the beds had good linens. Breakfast was included with our rate and it was good as well. The bar is very cool. Staff was very nice and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

Lauren Baker- Is helpful with explaining every detail about classes, instructors given at the club, and everything available to their clientele also walked with me through entire fitness area. All questions were answered. A knowledgeable gale. She is great! Thanks..

Stayed one night at Hotel. Amazing facilities, bars, restaurants. Great staff - Always friendly and helpful. Spa and Gym facilities (for Men) are incredible. Would have given a perfect 5 stars except the Spa facilities for women did not compare to the standard of the mens by some way when discussing with my girlfriend.

The building itself is so so cool. Theres so much to explore here and so many offerings - restaurants, cafe, gym, bar... All nestled into a very cool looking building with different aesthetics on each floor. Staff is nice here and the room Im staying in is... Fine. The bed is very cozy but the appliances and general maintenance of the whole room feels very old and unkempt. Not dirty or anything, just meh.

The room was nice enough and they mixed the old with the new when it came to styling. Parking was only $20 a night with in and out access which isnt bad for downtown. They also offer a complementary shuttle service for the downtown area. Breakfast is included and the available hours were fairly long.Staying there also gives you access to the athletic facilities. Judging on the free weight equipment I used it was a bit old but in good enough condition. The weight of the weights available were heavy enough to get in a workout but there could be more weights and the free weight area was a bit cramped. A major inconvenience though was related to elevator maintenance. There are 4 shafts but there was only one working elevator. And it seemed like it was an ongoing issue.

Superb hotel!!! Super nice service and excellent facilities. The steam room is the best I have ever been to. Also restaurant is quite nice . The blue room opens for hotel guests every Friday.

The LAAC is a fantastic hotel and athletic club that allows non members to stay at the hotel and use their facilities. The indoor pool, basketball court, training facilities were a hit. The hote room I stayed in was nice, though the bathrooms could use a bit of a renovation. Also the bar/restaurants on site were great. If you are staying there on a Friday be sure to check out the speakeasy. They let me check it out for photos even though the bar was not open. Note that this is located in downtown LA; it can be a bit rough outside in the evenings, but it is in close proximity to the convention center and Staples center.

I went to a conference hosted by Microsoft. The rooms and chairs were really nice. The air conditioning was on point. The restrooms were super clean. The decor was pleasing to look. Overall, this was great event.

Went here as a guest from a friend who is a regular member. Its around the same price as an Equinox, but not as new or modern. It still has excellent amenities that make the price worth it. Membership is based on age. Visit their website for more info.The locker rooms are excellent with plenty of lockers and space. There is even a Jacuzzi right in there.There is a full weight area, basketball/volleyball court, pool, yoga classes, and so much more.No excuse why you cant have a good workout here.

High-end GYM, social club and great hotel. Great service! Make sure to research dress code if you want to eat there. I would give 6 stars if I could. Love working out here!

Classical and historically beautiful. Attended a business conference. Very nice

We got a suite on the top floor. It was a constant 78 degrees in there. We were told they recently renovated the top floor and messed up on the insulation. Its a shame I really wanted to love it.

Incredible history, great perks for (us) guests, blocks away (walking) from anything you need or want, and best of all, excellent customer service! The massive remodeling effort will certainly make the building even more attractive, yet the project is not a major hindrance on staying here while in downtown Los Angeles.

Fantastic gym with great amenities, including dining, events, spa treatments and member perks. Beautiful pool and in the process of being renovated. Staff are wonderful and theres never a wait for equipment. The basketball court is great and the indoor running track.is getting a full overhaul. Excellent DTLA location.

This hotel was the first time I thought to myself that if I come back to this city, I would definitely look at this hotel first to try and come back here. You basically stay in a private members club/private club where you get all the frills and service of the private members club. The rooms are quiet, clean and comfortable. And there is an awesome pool. Perhaps, they could do with some modernisation, but great for what I needed. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends.

We absolutely loved our stay at the LAAC. Excellent customer service (especially Ernie) and the included breakfast was great! Hopefully we will be able to stay here again.

The absolute greatest gym Ive ever been to. They have everything there that you need. You never have to leave. They have a barber shop, a spa, several floors of workout equipment, a basketball court, volleyball court, a pool, and a sauna, steam room, restaurant, and hotel rooms. Amazing

Upscale hotel that would be hard to beat. Facilities are extensive. Outstanding all around.

The place was pretty clean and right off the freeway. Really easy to get too and free parking, The room is spacious and a place you can call home for one night. Definitely a place to stay when you in Sac Town.

A hidden gem to stay at. The only thing holding this hotel back from being the most perfect hotel is that there isn’t a pool

Great place to work out. Super nice staff and very clean.

The location is in the heart of downtown los Angeles and has a very good location whether you are driving or walking. Their rooms are spacious and bright with decorations of the history of the building. I enjoyed the friendly staff and service was awesome!

This hotel is amazing! So much character as well as activities. I ended up spending most of my short weekend in LA at the hotel. The pool/gym is great, offering classes like Zumba and kick boxing. On Friday night the secret bar on the 4th floor was a perfect place to relax from the craziness outside. I’ll definitely book this place again on my next visit!

This is my favorite spot to stay at

The location is convenient to a lot of destinations in Los Angeles. The staff is great and extremely friendly. The breakfast is a small buffet, but great quality and delicious. The rooms are nice, but there is definite room for improvement. Modernisation could take the hotel to the next level. Theyre renovating some of the athletic club floors already, so its just a matter of time until the rest of the building follows suit. Take some time and explore the building, every floor had something to offer and there is definite history fluttering throughout the entire place. Overall, a great experience and I will be looking to book here again in the future!!

Gorgeous hotel with a ton of secrets and history.

Had a great time staying here for a week. Awesome indoor swimming pool. Clean rooms. Courteous staff. Near subway station, shopping, dining and entertainment.

Love their Fri night speak easy!! An actual secret speak easy!

Beautiful place. It has big pool. Nice place to workout. Nice people.😘😘😘

Best breakfast. Nice clean rooms. Best night sleep ever on the most comfortable bed. Will definitely stay again

This place had had my attention for quite awhile. I finally got to the chance to stay here for my anniversary in May, and it lived up to expectations. The rooms were clean and as amazing as they look in the pictures. Its not an affordable option but if you want a place thats the definition of classy, this is it. A great bar, facilities, and a free breakfast buffet per guest, per day make this a great choice in DTLA.

LAAC is now so much better than a few years ago! I was a member here until about 5 years ago when it was dilapidated, in a sorry state: the jacuzzi in the mens side was not working and the lockers were gross. Now, the lockers are new and the jacuzzi is hot with strong jets. Some of the older workers were still there, and they actually remembered us. My only suggestion is to get better towels because they can easily replace sand papers.

Pretty nice place, not busy at all. Had a relaxing environment but. It sure its conducive to a great workout though. However for a beginner or someone not so serious, could be a great place. Needs a little more excitement.

I came as a guest/ membership trial. Initiation fee are a steep. Monthly fees are comparable to that of equinox. The actual gym facilities are out dated and need some love, especially in comparison to the renovated locker and spa areas. Top notch. After my trial no one bothered to follow up with joining. The perks that come with the club are nice, but Im not personally familiar with them, only with what Ive read through their site.

Location is ok during the day but pretty scary at night, I would have stayed somewhere more modern if it wasnt for work. Rooms and hotel amenities are great because you get access to all the facilities and can join their classes, too bad I was here for a business so I didnt attend any. Building is pretty old but it has its character. If you enjoy antique boutique hotels you will definitely enjoy it here, or if you like to stay active while you are here. Overall pretty good hotel except its location being a little sketchy.

Great great place to stay! Super service from all staff. Great club to work out and take a swim. Perfect old example of old LA and todays modern amenities

The masonic downtown meets here. Its an awesome space. Like the old timers

This is my home away from home when I’m in Los Angeles, which is a lot given my work. The staff is chill, hip, and overall very attentive. The rooms are really well put together. They have that old school charm with new school comforts like STUPID comfortable beds. I would come back just for the beds. Not gonna lie.I am also a member of the fitness club which has to be the best workout experience downtown LA.The only downside is downtown is a dump, but that’s not LAAC’s fault. In fact, they are a beacon fabulous amidst the madness of those nasty streets.

Fantastic old LA Hotel thats been around for 170 years. Words can not describe how stunning this old dame is. We will definitely be back.

Very unique place to stay! There are only three floors of rooms at the very top of the building. The other floors have restaurants, meeting rooms and an athletic club. For being in the heart of Los Angeles, the hotel room was very quiet at all times of the day. The building also has a lot of history. For example, Charlie Chaplin lived off and on there from 1915 to 1930.

Love this place. They marry contemporary needs with classic architecture. Great staff, enjoyable food and drink. Well maintained with beautiful public spaces. Overnight guests get workout privileges.

New York old money feel. Quiet spaces. That old stauchey kind of place with dark heavy wall to ceiling wood like a mens club of the 1950s. A safe and posh place.

Was here for a work event. Thought it was a cool place with a lot of history; it opened in 1880! The staff was excellent and the entire venue was nice. Parking is expensive even with validation. Opted out of the club lunch and ate around the corner; there are a lot of option.

The Best in San Diego we have been going there for over 45 yrs. Great for parties, very nice for that special date with wife or girlfriend. Our kids and son in law love this place

Superb hotel! We stayed 2 nights and really enjoyed every moment of it.we stayed in the room alot since the room was so nice. We enjoyed a morning swim and a sweat in the gym and a great breakfast after. Certainly recommend it. Will go there again every time I visit LA.use the parking next to the hotel and not the one across the street.

An excellent place to stay on downtown LA if you want to get a workout while traveling

New staff sucks. I love all the old staff. It makes the place more enjoyable and flow better. I spoke to this blonde woman close to olive for assistance and she was extremely arrogant and rude. Plus she had no right to. She was a bimbo. I have no idea how she acquired that job

As an Athletic Club member, I can only say that this isthe finest of the fine. It is elegant without being stuffyand has a staff that are generally more than justfriendly-though on occasion the front door staff doesseem a bit taken aback by my garb. I suppose itsthe proximity to the street life which make LA sointeresting. And unlike Memphis, for example, I HAVENEVER had a moment of fear or trepidation abouttraversing the streets of downtown LA and headingto the Club for a workout, social event or fabulousfood. A is for ATHLETIC CLUB!

Note: I didnt actually use the gym at all here. I attended a small banquet for Elementary School creative writing. But this place is bougie as it comes, and I mean that in a good way. If you can afford this place, youre either delusional or doing something right in your life...so kudos to you. The parking probably never runs out and is only either $2 or $3 for members which isnt bad for downtown LA. The facilities have this beautiful old school feel, which looks incredibly luxurious. Its straight out of a 1930s flapper convention, I felt classy by association. Thats all I can really talk about it, but what I saw I was really impressed.

Nice clean room. Bathroom was a little small. Elevators were a little slow but they are under construction. Breakfast buffet was average. All of the athletic facilities were nice!

Amazing location, incredible history, and comfortable rooms.We stayed in a single king room on the corner of the building and the view was beautiful. You can see the beautiful downtown Los Angeles skyline, as well as all of the beautiful, historic architecture. Our room had great amenities, but it is a little older. The tile in the bathroom is faded and the bathroom is small, but it was fine for the two of us. The bed was enormous and incredibly comfortable! We had a hard time waking up because it was so lovely.We did have a little trouble sleeping because it is in downtown, so there are bars and sirens throughout the night, but the LAAC doesn’t have control of those things so I don’t feel they should be held accountable for them.We did do a lot of exploring of the building and that was pretty incredible. The range of rooms for different sports, the sixth floor pool and basketball court, the Ballrooms and Bar and hidden speakeasy; there was so much to see!We went up to the roof in the morning and it was absolutely stunning. The skyline was gorgeous and it really was very quiet and peaceful (this was Sunday). We only had a little bit of time to walk around, but there is tons to see and do in downtown! We walked to Pershing Park and a little cafe, but there was much more we wish we could have seen.The staff was super friendly when we arrived early. They let us leave our bags and walk to lunch.Overall, lovely hotel, wonderful facilities, loud at night but don’t hold it against it!
