How I ranked the rooms
I prioritized space, unique historic details, access to outdoor or terrace areas, and suitability for travel purposes (couples, families, events). I used the hotel's room categories and property facts to compare options without claiming specifics the hotel doesn't publish.
Suites earn top spots when they offer separate living areas, terrace access, or connections to event terraces (for example, Terrazza connects to some suites). Standard rooms rank by bed type and likely layout: king rooms are simplest for couples, queen and double-bed rooms suit solo travelers and groups.
- Space & layout: suites with living areas rank higher.
- Outdoor access: rooms connected to Terrazza or with balconies get extra credit.
- Practical needs: king bed and high-floor options for quieter city views.
| What I looked at | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Suite vs Room | Separate living space, privacy, room to spread out |
| Outdoor/Terrace access | Better for airflow, views, private seating |
| Bed type | King rooms favor couples; doubles/queens suit families or groups |
1 — Best overall: Suite (Figueroa)
Why it tops the list: Suite (Figueroa) is the hotel's signature suite name and is likely to offer the largest, most characterful layout among the seven suites listed by the property. Suites generally include separate sitting areas, which makes them better for longer stays or for guests who want space to work or entertain.
Who should pick it: couples celebrating an event, travelers wanting a residential feel, and anyone who values a separate living area rather than a single hotel room.
- Usually the most private and spacious suite option among the property's named suites
- Good choice for wedding parties or pre-wedding prep (hotel promotes suites for that use)
- Included access to the hotel's amenities (pool, fitness, dining)
| Room | Why pick it |
|---|---|
| Suite (Figueroa) | Largest/most characterful suite name on the roster |
| Suite, 1 Bedroom | One-bedroom layout for separate sleeping & living areas |
| Suite (Casablanca) | Noted as a suite name with distinct living/vanity areas |
2 — Best for terrace and outdoor access: Suite (Casa) and Terrazza-connected suites
If outdoor space or skyline views matter, choose Suite (Casa) or a suite that references Terrazza access. The hotel's Terrazza is an open-air rooftop terrace connected to Parador and Cabana suites and is described as a wedding/event terrace, so suites tied to rooftop spaces are the best bet for private outdoor seating.
These suites suit guests who plan to spend time relaxing outside without leaving the hotel courtyard or rooftop.
- Suite (Casa): listed among the named suites and pictured in the property's suite photography style (separate dining and living areas)
- Terrazza-connected suites: offer rooftop terrace access useful for small gatherings or skyline views
- Ideal for guests who want a private place to sip coffee or take photos
| Suite | Outdoor feature |
|---|---|
| Suite (Casa) | Linked to Casa Suite layout and Terrazza in venue listings |
| Parador/Cabana (suite types referenced in Terrazza listing) | Direct rooftop terrace connection (Terrazza) |
| Junior Suite | May have sitting area; check with hotel for terrace availability |
3 — Best value for couples: Room, 1 King Bed
Room, 1 King Bed gives the straightforward king layout many couples prefer: a large bed in a room that keeps the hotel's Spanish Colonial detailing without paying suite premiums. The property lists Room, 1 King Bed among its 11 room types.
Choose this room for simple stays where you plan to spend time dining in the hotel's restaurants or at nearby L.A. Live rather than using a suite living room.
- King bed — better sleep for two
- Central location within the historic building; quieter high-floor options may be available (ask at booking)
- Access to the pool, 24-hour fitness center, and on-site dining
| Good for | Room options |
|---|---|
| Couples wanting a comfortable bed | Room, 1 King Bed |
| Couples wanting a quieter view | Room (High Floor) — request when reserving |
| Couples wanting a bathtub | Room, Bathtub |
4 — Best for families or groups: Room, 2 Double Beds and Room, 2 Queen Beds
Families and groups should pick either Room, 2 Double Beds or Room, 2 Queen Beds depending on how many people and how much sleeping space you need. The hotel welcomes children of all ages when accompanied by an adult 21 or older, making these multi-bed rooms practical.
If you need more separation, consider booking a suite plus an adjacent room or asking the events/sales team about room blocks; the hotel supports room blocks for weddings and events.
- Room, 2 Double Beds: good for families with younger children or mixed groups
- Room, 2 Queen Beds: roomier mattress options for older kids or co-travelers
- Ask about adjoining or nearby rooms when reserving for groups
| Room type | Best use |
|---|---|
| Room, 2 Double Beds | Families with kids who prefer separate beds |
| Room, 2 Queen Beds | Groups wanting larger mattresses and more sleeping space |
| Suite, 1 Bedroom | Families wanting a living area plus bedroom |
5 — Best for an upgraded stay without a full suite: Junior Suite and Suite, 1 Bedroom
Junior Suite and Suite, 1 Bedroom sit between a standard room and the hotel's largest suites. The Junior Suite often features an arched alcove or sitting area, giving you some separation without booking a full multi-room suite.
Suite, 1 Bedroom explicitly lists 1 King Bed and implies a one-bedroom layout, which is useful for travelers who want a distinct bedroom and living space but don't need the signature Suite (Figueroa).
- Junior Suite: arched alcove or sitting area in many photos; good for work and relaxation
- Suite, 1 Bedroom: full one-bedroom layout for privacy
- Both suites retain the hotel's Spanish Colonial architectural features
| Suite | Why choose it |
|---|---|
| Junior Suite | Compact suite feel with separate sitting area |
| Suite, 1 Bedroom | True one-bedroom layout for longer stays |
| Suite (Casablanca) | Features a vanity and seating area in the property's descriptions |
