If you follow along on Instagram, you saw that I recently spent a long weekend in Los Angeles with a friend. While we ate fantastic food and enjoyed the much cooler weather, our hotel, The Conrad Los Angeles, was easily one of the best parts of our trip. The Conrad Los Angeles is located in downtown LA and is a part of The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed retail, residences, and hotel development. The Grand is a stone’s throw away from The Broad Museum, and MOCA, and directly across the street from the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
Every inch of the hotel was perfectly designed and felt cozy yet upscale at the same time, but this particularly applied to our room. I booked a premium view one king bedroom, and we had the perfect view overlooking downtown and the rooftop pool. The room was complete with a sitting area, smart TV, mini bar, blackout shades, extra closet and counter space, and Byredo Mojave Ghost bath products.
All of the restaurants on the property were fantastic! Our trip started with a late breakfast at San Laurel, where chef José Andrés won us over with Spanish-style eggs. We were excited to try new items on the San Laurel menu every morning and our waiter, Daniel, always had our coffee waiting for us. The afternoon we spent at the pool was completed by delicious shareable plates and service from Airlight. We also enjoyed the view and signature cocktails at both Agua Viva and The Beaudry Room.
Since The Conrad Los Angeles had just opened a few days prior, the spa was not entirely up and running. I worked with Alina, the director of the spa, to book a 60-minute intuitive massage, which was long overdue post-pandemic. My masseuse, Anna, provided a relaxing experience as well as one of the best deep tissue massages I have ever had. The spa also offers facials, notably from celebrity facialist Angela Cagila, an infrared sauna room, and recovery lounges.
The concierge was extra accommodating and very helpful. We planned to see a movie at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery but needed a blanket and picnic. I stopped by the concierge desk and the concierge there at the time sent a blanket, and picnic supplies to our room, and even provided information for other film-related events we might be interested in. I look forward to future stays at The Conrad Los Angeles! xoxo
