A rooftop with a view of Hollywood Hill and the Los Angeles skyline: since 2015, fans of Mama Shelter hotels have already had a lovely place to stay in "L.A.", the only one currently in the United States. In a few years' time, in 2026, they will have a new opportunity to reside in the Californian metropolis in a place that once again reflects the image of the lifestyle brand, the Fashion District, right in the city centre. In this Downtown LA - or DTLA for short - long left for dead outside office hours and which has begun its revitalisation over the last decade.
The chain, launched by the Trigano family and now part of the Accor group, intends to make its lifestyle contribution by converting a former 1950s office building, the Mart South Building, into a luxury hotel. 149 rooms, including 4 suites. Festive as usual, the Mama Shelter Downtown LA will offer several bars and restaurants, some of which will be rooftop, with views over the bustling district teeming with shops and restaurants. Notably the California Market Center, adjacent to the hotel, a new hub for the fashion industry and a focal point for trendy events in DTLA.
Close to the largest flower market in the United States, the future Mama Shelter will be part of the an environment conducive to the emergence of contemporary establishments. The Fashion District is already home to the Ace, Dowtown LA Proper and Figueroa hotels (Unbound Collection by Hyatt), as well as a Hotel Indigo, part of the IHG group. But also a little cousin of Mama Shelter, also a member of the lifestyle galaxy ofEnnismore the HoxtonSince 2019, it has been housed in the historic LA Railway Building on Broadway. The Mama Shelter Downtown LA will be located at 124 E. Olympic Boulevard. Like a sign.
With the 2028 Olympic Games on the horizon, the hotel industry is taking part in the a new boom in what was the city's beating heart in the 1920s. Last year, Hilton celebrated the opening of a luxury Conrad in a vast complex designed by Frank Gehry, close to the Financial District, The Grand LA. A 305-room hotel with over 3,500 m² of meeting space and a gigantic rooftop. In April 2023, an impressive Moxy-AC Hotel complex with a myriad of meeting rooms, bars and restaurants - and designed by Yabu Pushelberg, a benchmark - opened its doors. The location is perfect: opposite the Crypto.com Arena, home of the famous Lakers team, and the Los Angeles Convention Center.
In 2028, these two venues will be at the heart of the Downtown Sports Park, one of the highlights of the future Olympic Games. With a number of events scheduled to take place there - including fencing, boxing and basketball - the Los Angeles Convention Center is set to increase its surface area by 45% with the construction of a new hall linking the west and south wings. At the same time, AEG, the world leader in entertainment, will be extending the hotel section of its L.A. Live complex, which also includes the Crypto.com Arena. Live complex, which also includes the Crypto.com Arena. Combining the luxury brands Ritz Carlton and JW Marriott, this combo should see the addition of a new tower of around forty storeys with 860 rooms. This will make the complex one of the largest in California, with over 1,800 keys. The address: Olympic Boulevard. Like the future Mama Shelter.
