In early 2014, the Ace Hotel group finally found a home in Los Angeles. The United Artist Building in Downtown, a former cinema exuding glamour and allure, was turned into a hip hotel. The interior—understated, designy, industrial—is juxtaposed against playful Spanish-Moorish accents and creates a modern, austere tranquility. A tip for early-risers: during the week, you can enjoy the sunrise on the rooftop terrace before it gets too crowded.
