Full-service downtown mega-hotel with city views and myriad amenities.. The Scene
A quintessential big-city hotel, this bustling Bunker Hill institution is adjacent to the Museum of Contemporary Art and close to Little Tokyo and Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral. Offering 439 rooms and 13 suites, the hotel presents business and leisure travelers with a modern health club, heated outdoor lap pool, sauna, steam rooms, spa and special touches such as fresh flowers galore. The guest quarters are spacious and contemporary, with stocked mini-bars, city views and sophisticated electronics.

The Details
The business center and banquet rooms can accommodate large groups, while the Noe Bar offers cocktails and live entertainment in an intimate setting above the Water Garden. The Grand Cafe, overlooking a reflecting pond and magnolia trees, serves California cuisine, while Noe offers progressive American cuisine. The concierge has been known to meet any request.

Best Downtown Hotel. I stay at the Omni each time I'm in LA for business. I'm a "Select Guest" and the extra benefits this program offers are outstanding (priority check-in, late check-out, complimentary beverages and newspaper, turndown service). The staff even remembers me each time I come back and knows that I like extra pilows in my room! Great value too! Great location - close to Downtown business offices.

Best Hotel Downtown. I stayed here this past weekend for the USC/Cal game at less than $100 through hotwire, and it was absolutely perfect! Great location... you just have to know that downtown is NOT a party spot on the weekends. The room was large and comfortable, and the service here is excellent! Definitely worth its 4-star rating.

Beware the $26 for valet per day... we parked on the lot on Olive between 1st and 2nd for $6 instead. Just know that it's an open parking lot, so your car isn't guarded 24/7 and there's no In-n-out priveleges. We saved a lot of money though!

VP Finance. Love this hotel, stay there a minimum of 25 times a year, great location, service and amenities. I walk to my office each day stop by their new restaurant & bar for drinks and listen to the great music. I have stayed in most of the hotels downtown and they are OK but the Omni is the best.

Fine.. Stayed here for a business trip and if my business meetings were not downtown, I would've definitely stayed in a different part of LA (downtown is DEAD). The hotel is nice enough: large, clean rooms, well-appointed baths, good number of conference and meeting rooms. The only complaints I have: (1) the temperature was WAY too cold in the conference rooms and hallways and (2) service by the catering group was spotty at best buring our catered meals. I always had to go hunt someone down to get a cup of coffee or clear my plate. For less money, you can get a much more hip, though spartan, room at the nearby hotel, The Standard, with its trendy rooftop bar. Omni is a good choice, though, if you're looking for a more traditional hotel.
