Most large conferences and conventions in Los Angeles end up downtown, in or near the Los Angeles and Staples Centers. Downtown LA is fun, with LA Live and some great new restaurants and historic tours, but it's got to be the most congested part of the city. Traffic to and from downtown Los Angeles is also intimidating. For the best non-downtown LA convention hotel in Los Angeles, Luxury Travel recommends the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, in Century City.
The Hyatt Regency Century Plaza is on the west side of Los Angeles, six or seven miles from the Pacific Ocean. In as such, the air quality is clean, and the temperature much cooler than it is inland. It's a fully-fledged luxury hotel: The Hyatt Regency label denotes high end accommodations and fantastic chefs helming their signature restaurants. The Hyatt Regency in Orange County is a good point of comparison -- both hotels are classy, with designers who clearly pay close attention to the well-appointed details that differentiate Hyatts from lower-end hotels.
This is a luxury hotel a block and a half south of Beverly Hill's famous Rodeo Drive. Century City itself has a large, outdoor high end mall, with Tiffany, Coach, and other luxury brand stores throughout. Travelers who enjoy upscale shopping while on vacation in Los Angeles will be very pleased with the centrally located Hyatt Regency Century Plaza hotel.
