Hotel Figueroa — Spanish-Colonial by the arena
Here for a concert or a Lakers game? Hotel Figueroa nails it. A beautifully restored 1926 Spanish-Colonial hotel next to Crypto.com Arena and LA Live, with a charming courtyard pool, from around $200. Great for travellers who want a historic vibe within walking distance of events.
It sits on Figueroa Street in central DTLA — next to Crypto.com Arena (Lakers/Clippers/Kings), LA Live and the Peacock Theater, all a few minutes' walk away. The Pico station (Metro A/E) is close, ideal for sports games, concerts or Convention Center events. And DTLA is walkable with the Metro, so no rental needed if you stay in this area.
"Sitting by the courtyard pool in the evening, that leafy Spanish-Colonial vibe, then a 5-minute walk to a concert at Crypto.com Arena — the location is fantastic value."
Hotel Figueroa opened in 1926, originally a YWCA for women, and was extensively renovated in 2017, keeping its Spanish-Colonial charm — wood ceilings, patterned tiles and a design that spotlights women artists. Rooms are warm and full of character. What guests praise is the distinctive atmosphere and the gorgeous historic courtyard pool.
The highlight is the Spanish courtyard pool with its poolside Bar Figueroa — a leafy oasis in the middle of the city — plus a good in-house restaurant. Service is friendly and professional, suiting couples and groups of friends in town for events.
Honestly, the note is that some streets on this side of DTLA are deserted at night, especially outside event times. The hotel is safe, but take an Uber back late rather than walking. Also, during big concerts/games, room rates and crowds rise — book ahead.
Bottom line: Hotel Figueroa is the best pick if you're here for events at Crypto.com Arena/LA Live — historic atmosphere, a beautiful pool, a fair price. If your plans revolve around concerts or sports, go for it — but if you want to be near Hollywood/the beach, look elsewhere.
