I threw my husband's 40th birthday party at Hotel Fig and it exceeded all my expectations. The manager Uno and his staff are pros and very experienced in handling big parties. Uno accommodated all my requests which included belly dancers, cigar rollers, and a dj. And he was very patient since I was so indecisive at times. Having dealt with a lot of party venues, doing business with Hotel Fig had a very informal way about it...didn't sign a contract until two weeks before, for instance, and they didn't insist on deposits...threw me off at first because I'm used to more formalities and signed documents but it was actually really refreshing and Uno was so dependable and returned all my emails and calls. We had a blast. All our guests were very impressed with the food, drinks, service and decor. We had a reception at the Nomad Lounge upstairs before being escorted to the Rabat Room and the vibe in there was so cool -- low lighting, rich colors, lots of texture. The hotel had 2 major parties inside and 3 smaller parties by the pool and there were no problems with staffing and parking. They also provided security. I've organized a lot of parties at all types of venues and I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel especially for those looking for a unique and not so "banquetty-hotelly" venue. I can't wait to throw another one...next time maybe poolside.
Pros: Ambience, Service, Food

The Hotel Figueroa is not your average hotel, but very unique in its own right. The lobby area was very exotic with huge chairs and small coffee tables for casual conversation. We had a quick dinner that was not too impressive because of the extremely limited items on the menu. We were expecting a more exotic menu of Moroccan food since that is the theme of the hotel. The bar and pool area was fantastic! Very swanky, very hip, great bartenders and the highlight of our stay! We were in number 416. It was very small with a king bed. No alarm clock or coffee maker, but lots of charm! Bed was comfortable and the place was very clean. Bathroom was extremely small and had no vent or fan for the shower. The staff was very professional and helpful. Short walk to Staples Center and the new Nokia theater. If you are looking for a place to stay downtown and you want ambiance, than this is the place for you, but if you are looking for someplace more high end, than this is NOT the place for you. I had read reviews of this hotel and was a bit worried, but when we parked in their parking lot and came through the pool/bar area, I knew that we were going to have a great time. I don't understand what all these people previously were griping about.
Pros: Close to Staples Center
