WHERE TO STAY, DINE, AND PLAY IN DOWNTOWN LA: MOXY & AC HOTEL HAVE IT ALL
words by JANA LETONJA
Downtown Los Angeles has a new hotspot that’s changing the way visitors experience the city. More than just a place to book a room, Moxy Downtown Los Angeles and AC Hotel Downtown Los Angeles have transformed hospitality into a full-scale lifestyle destination—where stylish accommodations, rooftop views, world-class dining, and unforgettable nightlife all come together under one roof.
Perfectly positioned across from Crypto.com Arena and the Los Angeles Convention Center, the dual-branded property offers something for every type of traveler. Whether you’re in town for a Lakers game, a concert, a business trip, or simply a weekend getaway, the experience begins the moment you walk through the doors.
Although the two hotels share the same building, each has its own unique personality. Moxy brings bold energy with playful interiors, vibrant social spaces, and a youthful atmosphere designed for guests who love to mingle. AC Hotel, meanwhile, offers a more sophisticated escape with minimalist design, elegant rooms, and breathtaking skyline views that make it easy to unwind after a day in the city.
But what truly sets this destination apart is everything that happens beyond the guestrooms.
The biggest attraction is Level 8, an immersive entertainment complex that feels like stepping into several destinations at once. Guests can move from intimate cocktail lounges to international restaurants, rooftop bars, live performances, and nightlife experiences—all without ever leaving the building. Every venue has its own atmosphere, making each visit feel like a new adventure.
Food lovers will have no shortage of options. From Mediterranean-inspired bites and handcrafted cocktails to Japanese specialties, South American flavors, fresh seafood, and rooftop tapas, the culinary lineup reflects the diverse tastes that define Los Angeles. Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner, happy hour with friends, or a late-night celebration, there’s a venue to match every mood.
The attention to design is equally impressive. Every corner of the property has been thoughtfully created to inspire curiosity and comfort. Moxy embraces bold colors, eclectic décor, and playful details, while AC Hotel delivers timeless elegance with contemporary interiors and sweeping views of the Hollywood Hills. Together, they create two completely different experiences without ever feeling disconnected.
The hotels have also become a gathering place for locals. Regular DJ nights, live entertainment, wellness events, pop-ups, and cultural experiences keep the property buzzing long after sunset, making it one of Downtown LA’s most exciting social destinations.
For business travelers, the location couldn’t be more convenient. Modern meeting rooms, flexible event spaces, and close proximity to the Convention Center make it an ideal base for conferences, corporate events, and celebrations of every size.
In a city filled with luxury hotels, Moxy and AC Hotel Downtown Los Angeles stand out by offering far more than a comfortable stay. They invite guests to experience the energy, creativity, and diversity of Los Angeles in one unforgettable destination—where checking in is only the beginning of the adventure.
