History
InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown opened in 2017 as the hotel component of the Wilshire Grand Center, a 73-story mixed-use tower in downtown Los Angeles completed on June 23, 2017. The building was developed by Korean Air and designed by A.C. Martin Partners. It is described as a mixed-use skyscraper with a modern “metamodernism” architectural style, and the hotel occupies floors within the 889-room tower. The InterContinental brand opened with the building; the hotel has since been described by IHG as having two on-site restaurants and by the dining page as featuring La Boucherie on the 71st floor and Spire 73 on the 73rd floor, the latter billed as the tallest open-air bar in the Western Hemisphere.
The setting
InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown occupies floors 31 through 68 of the Wilshire Grand Center at 900 Wilshire Boulevard , the 1,100-foot sail-crowned tower that became the tallest structure west of Chicago when it opened in 2017 and the first Los Angeles skyscraper in forty years to break the city's flat-roof skyline. The hotel's sky lobby sits on the 70th floor, and Spire 73, the tallest open-air bar in the Western Hemisphere, crowns the building. Crypto.com Arena is a fifteen-minute walk; MOCA, The Broad, and Walt Disney Concert Hall are under twelve minutes by transit; and Grand Central Market is eleven minutes away , skyline dominance matched by cultural access. 11-minute walk to Grammy Museum. 10 miles from Griffith Observatory.
