In spite of rumors to the contrary, Los Angeles has always had a downtown – and now, more than ever, downtown LA shimmers like a sapphire on Liz Taylor.
The sister property to the Luxe Rodeo Drive and the Luxe Sunset Boulevard, Luxe City Center is a downtown oasis perfectly located across the street from the Staples Center, Nokia Theatre, LA Live, and an easy jaunt to Disney Concert Hall, Chinatown, and numerous other LA landmarks.
The 180 rooms and suites at Luxe City Center are furnished like Art Deco apartments of Hollywood stars from the Forties. You almost expect Loretta Young to answer the zebra-wood door and invite you in for cocktails – and confessions.

Bedrooms, which feature iHomes for iPods and 42″ TVs, are hung with nearly full-size paintings of iconic rock stars like Madonna or Steven Tyler, and marble bathrooms are complemented by vanities with circular mirrors.
A sitting room in the suites looks like just the sort of room into which Barbara Stanwyck might size up Fred MacMurray for the first time in “Double Indemnity.”
Amenities at Luxe City Center include FigOly restaurant and access to Gold’s Gym. Apart from daily housekeeping, there are also on-site guest laundry facilities (for those stains you prefer to remove yourself…).
These are femme fatale suites, perfect for illicit romance and clandestine trysts. Leave the gun at home – and pack the negligee and handcuffs.
