The coffin-shaped pool is the social heart of the hotel. Get there early on weekends — cabanas go fast and cost $300 for hotel guests Fri–Sun.

Why It Matters

One of the longest-standing hotels in Downtown Los Angeles, originally the largest commercial building funded by women for women. The coffin-shaped pool surrounded by 50-year-old Euphorbia Ingens cacti is genuinely unlike anything else in the city. Named to Condé Nast Traveler's Top 20 Hotels in Los Angeles (Reader's Choice 2023) and won Food & Wine's 2023 Global Tastemaker Award for Best Hotels for Food in the US.

Hotel Figueroa is a 1926 Spanish Colonial Revival landmark in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, sitting 14 floors tall with 268 rooms and suites. Originally opened by the YWCA as one of the only hotels in the country where women could stay without a male chaperone, the hotel was fully restored after a two-year renovation that reopened in 2018. It's walkable to Crypto.com Arena, the LA Convention Center, The Broad, and MOCA — and a long way from the beach, which is exactly the point.
