Hotel Indigo Downtown, Los Angeles
The Hotel Indigo Los Angeles Downtown is a striking urban retreat designed by the architecture firm Gensler. Located within the modern Metropolis development, it serves as a creative anchor that pays homage to the city’s past. Its design concept is deeply rooted in the “pre-Hollywood” entertainment era of the late 1800s and early 1900s, blending stories of underground speakeasies, the local La Fiesta de las Flores parade, and the birth of the movie industry into its aesthetic.
The interior is a playful, design-forward space where historical murals, vintage-inspired light fixtures, and bold textiles create an immersive experience. Guests can spot subtle nods to history everywhere, from elevator art featuring old speakeasy scenes to lobby furniture upholstered with antique newspaper clippings. The 18th-floor lounge, “18 Social,” is a particular highlight, offering guests sweeping views of the downtown skyline through floor-to-ceiling windows.
Its location is perfect for those who want to be in the center of the action. You are just steps away from major entertainment hubs like the Crypto.com Arena, the Grammy Museum, and the Los Angeles Convention Center. Whether you are heading to a concert or exploring the surrounding historic core, the hotel’s proximity to these landmarks makes it a convenient and energetic home base.
Between the poolside cabanas and the eclectic decor, the hotel captures a unique cross-section of Los Angeles history. It effectively bridges the gap between the area’s gritty, storied beginnings and its modern-day status as a bustling cultural center.
Expert reviews
“This freshly minted, 350-room property celebrates Downtown’s colorful backstory: wagon-shaped lobby lights pay tribute to the Fiesta de Las Flores, blown-up paparazzi shots around the elevators nod to vaudeville and early movie days.”

Nice staff, breakfast was good, good location. Furniture is not in the best condition for almost $500a night.
Food, clean, location
Price was a little high for one night. Furniture was worn. For the price point that is unacceptable.

18th floor always had an event which echoed throughout the floors, it was difficult to locate
room was sufficient, water pressure good, food good
no buffet breakfast, everything cost $$$ parking was over $50, every time we had breakfast, bill was over $100; prepare to pay $200 hotel amenities upon arrival

Good option but expensive
The decoration of the room and lobby
There was noise in the room coming from the bathroom. Looks like the plumbing is not working well.

Would stay here again!
great location close to the freeway. Easy access in and out of property . Safe clean neighborhood. Perfect place to stay for an event at BMO stadium.
A little disappointed that a room was not available when we tried to check in a few hours early, but that is understandable and we knew it was a possibility. We did arrive around 11:30am for a 4 pm check in. A room was ultimately available by 2:30pm but by that time we were already at BMO for a concert that evening.

Overall very comfortable with a few minor downsides
Beautiful decor, nice-sized room, clean, room was pretty quiet despite being across from the bar / lounge! Loved the fireplace in the lounge. Great location near Crypto arena, friendly staff, healthy snacks in the self-serve lobby snack area.
Public spaces were way too cold for winter weather. Heater in our room made interesting noises all night - whistling, gurgling, knocking. Dinner in restaurant way too salty. Bathroom lighting did not fall in right spots for styling my hair or putting on makeup, weakest hotel hair dryer I ever used. Bed was too hard for us - others like the harder mattress.

Overall a very lovely experience!
I loved the style of the hotel, the location, and the comfortable and clean rooms. The staff were all super cool and friendly.
The pool was under construction, so that was a bummer.

OK for business trips.
The hotel was good. The staff was friendly.
Unfortunately there was a construction site at the pool. Sometimes there was no hot water in the bathroom, only warm water.

It was a good day
The location was great! A short lift ride to old town, BMO stadium, Santa Monica & Venice beaches. The staff are very pleasant and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable.
The only negative was the food which was pretty awful and extremely overpriced as were the drinks.

Overall it was an. excellent stay.
Breakfast was great. The hotel staff were helpful. I loved the decor. Room was very clean and comfortable. Excellent location and I would stay here again.

Fell a little short for an Indigo Hotel.
Check-in staff.
Comfortable beds and pillows.
Large bathrooms.
Nobody helped with the bags upon our arrival.
Hallway carpets were a bit dirty.
A bit scary to go around at night in the vicinity of the hotel.
Fitness center was a bit small.
