Luxe City Center Hotel

For a hotel sandwiched between a music hall, a sports arena, and a motorway, the Luxe City Center promotes itself as an urban sanctuary. It's also surprisingly accommodating for visitors looking to squeeze in some R&R in between seeing the museums and the Lakers game. Particularly tired travelers can let off steam in one of the hotel's two fitness centers (the Luxe City Center offers an on-site exercise suite as well as complimentary passes to Gold's Gym down the block) or arrange for an in-room massage at the front desk. Guestrooms feature comfortable amenities like down pillows, flat screen TVs, and rain-style shower heads.

If business rather than pleasure brought you here in the first place, this mid-range downtown hotel makes a surprisingly swanky pick despite its unremarkable facade. Leather ottomans, Keurig coffeemakers, and rain showers give guest rooms and suites a casual elegance. Then there is Nixon, a gloomy, second-floor restaurant and cocktail bar selling wood-fired pizza and pork belly tacos (on balmy nights, grab a table on the patio). It's just one of the reasons multitasking 9-to-5ers find Luxe City Center to be an ideal base of operations. A sliding glass wall in the indoor/outdoor ballroom that, when opened, offers a terrace with fire pits and private cabanas, is another addition.
