Downtown Los Angeles will soon introduce an exciting addition to The Grand LA with the opening of the Conrad Hotel. More than a luxurious place to spend a night — and it will undoubtedly be that — the hotel will be the center of a lifestyle destination featuring the interior architecture and design of Tara Bernerd & Partners.
During a hard-hat tour of the property, in its final stages of readiness for a planned June opening, Tara Bernerd pointed to a model of the 28-floor building and described the open-air terrace level. “The 10th floor wraps all the way around and rolls out toward the pool bringing big energy — lounges, bars, dining — and around the back, another lounge dips into the pool area,” she said.
Bernerd continued, describing her involvement from the ground up over the past five years, “Working with Frank Gehry, we wanted to bring in more warmth, so we created curves and layers. The connection between indoor and outdoor has been intentional.
Across the street from the Walt Disney Concert Hall and echoing Frank Gehry’s striking contemporary architecture, the Conrad’s 10th floor outdoor terrace will be an entertainment focal point for locals as well as for the hotel’s guests. The vibrant atmosphere and thoughtful combination of expansive city views and intimate spaces are sure to attract visitors to the promenade for dining, cocktails, and entertainment.
Restaurants will be helmed by renowned chef and humanitarian José Andrés. The Conrad’s signature dining experience will be San Laurel, featuring a Southern California version of Andrés’ Spanish cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The chic rooftop Agua Viva, with a beach resort atmosphere and a blend of Latin and Asian flavors, will offer shared plates and cocktails along with views of the city from the alfresco terrace.
The perfect addition to The Grand LA, the city’s cultural epicenter with the Music Center, Walt Disney Concert Hall, The Broad, Museum of Contemporary Art, and The Colburn School of Music, the Conrad Hotel is true to the brand’s commitment to quality art. Read more from Travel & Leisure
