HOTEL INTERCONTINENTAL
Imagine the excitement of breathtaking visuals from the tallest building west of Chicago . Miles of glass and steel shaped 73 stories high rising 1,100 feet above street level . A structure that on the outside redefines the Los Angeles skyline , but on the inside , the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown hotel presents the glamor and exhilaration that defines what it means to live the InterContinental life , with its rich , storied history and the promise of good things to come .
The promise on the newly opened Intercontinental Hotel website does not disappoint . The long anticipated Downtown LA ’ s newest 900 rooms hotel in the Wilshire Grand , the most exciting ground-up development in decades . According to IHG Group , the 73 stories building is now the tallest building west of Chicago rising at 1,100 feet , and the host of the largest Intercontinental in the Americas . It is also the first hotel on the west coast to have a sky lobby above 70th floors .
Downtown LA-based architect firm , AC Martin , designed a modern tower that redefines the Los Angeles skyline . The rooftop deck will offer to guests ; restaurants , bars , swimming pool and fantastic 360-degree views of Los Angeles . And because all these spectacular amenities were not sufficient in the eyes of developers ’ partner Korean Air , it is the only skyscraper in the city with a high-tech LED lighting on the facade featuring an infinity of light shows capable of welcoming the airline passengers landing at LAX .
Korean Air ’ s $ 1.1 billion mixed-use development in the heart of Downtown LA ’ s Financial District will include not only the hotel but new office space as well as over 45,000 square feet of retail on the ground floor . We encourage everyone to visit this fabulous new addition to Downtown LA , proving that our neighborhood is an actual city center , with everything at our footsteps .
