On July 6, Hilton announced the highly anticipated opening of Conrad Los Angeles, marking the first California property for Conrad Hotels & Resorts, one of Hilton’s three distinct luxury hotel brands.
The 305-room hotel will immerse guests in the dynamic energy that fuels the city’s cultural corridor. Designed by legendary architect Frank Gehry with interior design from world-renowned Tara Bernerd & Partners, the contemporary Conrad Los Angeles is home to two original food and beverage concepts from Chef José Andrés and ThinkFoodGroup, the cutting-edge Conrad Spa Los Angeles and unparalleled views and proximity to some of the city’s most prominent cultural venues including Walt Disney Concert Hall.
“We are excited to expand Hilton’s West Coast presence with the debut of the first Conrad Hotels & Resorts property in California, one of our largest growing markets in the U.S. This is a monumental occasion as we open the doors to this incredible property amid downtown Los Angeles’ development boom and we are looking forward to offering guests an unrivaled, luxury hospitality experience in this sought-after destination,” said Danny Hughes, executive vice president and president, Americas, Hilton.
Creative Culinary
Conrad Los Angeles welcomes award-winning chef and humanitarian José Andrés back to Los Angeles with original dining concepts and an elevated cocktail bar making their debut from ThinkFoodGroup.
San Laurel, located on the 10th-floor with captivating views overlooking the iconic Disney concert hall, takes you on a tour of flavors that find their roots in Spain but take their cues from California by highlighting the fresh, local ingredients from the Golden State. Breakfast and dinner will be available at San Laurel and menu highlights include Bone-in Wagyu Ribeye; Grilled Romaine with Manchego Espuma; and Roasted Celeriac Carpaccio.
Just across from San Laurel on the outdoor terrace is Agua Viva, Conrad Los Angeles’ chic rooftop restaurant where Andrés makes Latin and Asian flavors mingle on the menu just as easily as diners mingle over shared plates and refreshing cocktails in an open-air dining room with sweeping panoramic views of the city. Menu highlights include Txule Ribeye Burger; DIY Handrolls; and Piña Borracha.
On the property’s roof deck, enjoy Airlight, a pool deck offering a vibrant menu of handheld bites, creative cocktails and stunning views of DTLA. Shareable menu items include Tiki Punch Bowls, Grilled Skewers and house-made Push Pops.
An intimate respite for culinary and cocktail aficionados, SED, designed to celebrate the spirit of the desert and the Pacific Ocean, showcases popular spirits and flavors in addition to seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables from the west coast, inspired by Jose’s travels around the world. Menu highlights include Tomato Rosette and Japanese Whisky Milk Punch.
Serene Spa
Conrad Spa Los Angeles, led by director of spa Alina Medyanikova, redefines the art of relaxation by transforming the traditional spa into a deeper and more meaningful guest experience with a new boundary-free wellness concept. This has been reflected in Tara Bernerd & Partners’ calm, inviting interior design. Through a hyper-personalized ethos, the spa allows guests to explore wellness through a variety of highly-tailored, ayurvedic, and innovative treatments featuring cult-beauty lines.
Spanning over 7,000 square feet and complete with seven treatment rooms, Conrad Spa Los Angeles is home to advanced skin care techniques, a curated wellness bar featuring quality body care and recovery products, an enlightenment lounge, infrared sauna, a Gharieni Welnamis wavetable, and recovery cabins, providing the perfect sanctuary for locals and guests alike.

Through emerging technologies combined with modern techniques, visitors of the spa will witness immediate, visible results from a range of services. Conrad Spa Los Angeles also features an array of exclusive treatments and premium products from leading avant-garde beauty brands like Angela Caglia, CODAGE, and Augustinus Bader. Additional partners include Esker Beauty and NuCalm, as well as Hyperice, which will offer Normatec Boots, Core Meditation Trainer, and Hypervolt percussion therapy.

From the 16,000 square foot rooftop terrace with an expansive pool deck — overlooking downtown Los Angeles and The Grand LA — to the walking distance of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Grand Park, LA Opera, and The Broad, Conrad Los Angeles is as much of a place to play as it is a place to stay.
