Luxury Hotels Aim to Turn Downtown L.A. Into Times Square West
Luxury hotel owners are betting that downtown Los Angeles — an area dominated by government buildings, law offices and banks — will lure convention visitors and tourists from the city’s ritzy enclaves. Marriott International Inc. will open a Ritz-Carlton, downtown L.A.’s first five-star hotel, and a JW Marriott in the next two months as part of Anschutz Entertainment Group’s 4 million-square-foot L.A. Live entertainment complex. Luxe Worldwide Hotels is spending $10 million to revamp the downtown Holiday Inn into one of its boutique-style hotels.

Downtown L.A. is puttin' up a Ritz
It's not every day that Los Angeles welcomes a new addition to its skyline. And this week, the city did it in style with a gala for the 54-story Ritz-Carlton hotel-condo tower that is the centerpiece of L.A. Live and opens for business next month. The guest of honor was Tim Leiweke, president and chief executive of AEG, which built the $2.5-billion L.A. Live and has been at the center of the effort to develop the area around Staples Center into a sports and entertainment hub. The blue-hued tower is a big part of the plan. It's the first skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles since the early 1990s.

Second homes: Downtown Los Angeles is on an upswing
Like the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz, created in a studio here, Los Angeles is surprised to discover it has a heart after all. The USA's second-largest city is famous for sprawl, and it has long confused visiting urbanites seeking a neighborhood to stroll around. Now transplants and part-timers are rediscovering downtown, which offers just that. "A lot of people from New York end up downtown, because it's the only place in L.A. they feel at home," says realtor Ted Trent, founder of Loft Living L.A. Former New Yorker Russell Roney of ZipRealty agrees: "Downtown always had a stigma, but now it's hot, where SoHo was 15 years ago. You can walk around, there are restaurants."

Hotel as home
Moments after the private elevator in the Montage Beverly Hills slides open, the staff warmly greets Larry Field and ushers him to a pool-view seat at the rooftop Conservatory Grill. The hostess gives him a hug. Servers nod in recognition. "Mr. Field, anything you want to eat, the chef will make," says the waiter, who nevertheless proffers a menu. Now this is the life. Field is the first and, so far, the only "resident guest" at the Montage, meaning his $7 million condominium set within the hotel development comes with services and amenities beyond those available to overnight visitors.

J.W. Marriott and Ritz-Carlton liven downtown L.A.
Maybe the recession is really and truly over now. After all, a thousand and one hotel rooms have just bloomed in downtown Los Angeles amid the Kings and conventioneers. I'm talking about the once-desolate territory just north of interstate 10 and east of California 110, where the Los Angeles Convention Center is neighbored by Staples Center (opened 1999), the 7,100-seat Nokia Theatre (opened 2007) and the rest of the L.A. Live "sports and entertainment district." Officially, the area is called South Park, and the entertainment company AEG has spent about $2.5 billion building the L.A.Live sports and entertainment complex here.
