Stepping into Moxy Downtown Los Angeles feels like diving straight into the adventurous spirit of California. Nestled at the corner of South Figueroa and Pico streets, right across from Crypto.com Arena and the Los Angeles Convention Center, this dually branded gem—Moxy and the adjacent AC Hotel—blends two top names in hospitality under one roof with some killer views of DTLA to boot. Whether you’re a business traveler, conference attendee, or a thrill-seeker ready to explore LA’s diverse culture and cuisines, this place is your new favorite playground.
With over 70 properties worldwide, Moxy redefines the hotel experience with its youthful, energetic vibe. It’s not just about a stay; it’s about embracing spontaneity and fun. Moxy offers cozy yet cleverly designed rooms and a host of social and dining options at an enticing price point. The industrial chic décor and lively atmosphere make it the perfect choice for those who want to enjoy their trip while splurging on experiences that truly matter.
Walking through the property, you’ll be struck by its bold, adventurous spirit. The interiors capture the essence of California with a touch of romance. The lobby, with its expansive open ceiling and organic materials inspired by desert landscapes, sets the stage.
Bar Moxy, on the mezzanine level, invites you to relax with oversized lounge chairs, vintage arcade games, and reconfigurable furniture that turns the space into a breakfast room, a social hub, or a bar for evening drinks.
But that’s just half of the story. The AC Hotel by Marriott next door offers a sophisticated counterpoint with its elevated, residential style both designed by Yabu Pushelberg. At La Lo La Rooftop on the 34th floor, you can enjoy upscale dining with breathtaking views of the Hollywood Hills. The fusion of the two properties lets you experience two distinct worlds. You can work in style at the AC Lounge during the day and return to Moxy’s lively atmosphere for your evening socializing. Together, the two hotels boast 727 guest rooms and an impressive 12 dining and entertainment options.
Level 8 is a standout: a 30,000-square-foot playground offering everything from French to South American cuisine, with spots like Golden Hour, Lucky Mizu, and Que Barbaro. The Copacabana-inspired pool deck features an outdoor carousel bar, perfect for soaking up the sun, taking a refreshing dip, or sipping on cocktails during weekend pool parties. Moxy and AC Hotel are more than just places to stay—they’re some of the best hospitality experiences Los Angeles has to offer.
