Character and identity
A reborn 1966 landmark on Avenue of the Stars, Fairmont Century Plaza emerged from a $2.5 billion rehabilitation in 2021 with its Minoru Yamasaki curve intact and Yabu Pushelberg interiors layered over the mid-century bones. The 16-storey, 400-room property (85 suites, two Fairmont Gold floors) leans airy and neutral: blonde wood, white linens, grey marble baths. Lumière, a thrifted-in-Paris brasserie, anchors the dining; a rooftop pool, lobby bar with musician-themed playlists, and a 14,000-square-foot spa with biohacking treatments round out the offer. Service is warm and familiar without being stiff, right down to the resident black lab.
Who's it for
Best for:
Entertainment-industry travellers, design-minded couples and well-heeled visitors who want a central LA base with equal access to Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and the Westside. Brasserie devotees, spa-and-gym obsessives chasing red-light masks and Normatec recovery, and anyone who appreciates a hotel with genuine Hollywood lineage will feel at home.
Should look elsewhere:
Anyone wanting a walkable neighbourhood, beachfront, or the cool-kid energy of Silver Lake or Venice should skip it: Century City is a business district, you'll need a car, and the surrounding mixed-use development is still under construction. Guests seeking boldly designed rooms may find the interiors safe.
Bottom line
The defining draw here is the package: a serious spa-and-fitness floor, Lumière's genuinely accomplished brasserie cooking, and a central location that puts most of LA within a 20-minute drive. Couples and business travellers should book a westward room above the seventh floor for ocean-leaning balcony views, or upgrade to Fairmont Gold for the private lounge and martini cart. Watch for the 2025 subway opening to reshape access.
