JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE

The JW Marriott Hotel Los Angeles at L.A. Live towers over from the Staples Center, the Nokia Theatre, the Regal Cinemas and all the restaurants and clubs that make L.A. Live such a popular spot. The 21-story, smoke-free hotel's spacious guest rooms include high-speed wireless internet (free in the lobby only), cable/satellite TV, JW bathrobes and complimentary coffee and tea. There's a heated outdoor rooftop swimming pool, a fitness center and a beautiful spa accessed through its nearby sister hotel, the Ritz-Carlton Los Angeles. Chef Ben Ford opens his popular Ford's Filling Station gastropub here in the fall of 2014, turning this hotel into a food lover's hotspot, too.
