What to expect: Entering this gleaming five-tower property feels like being pulled into an enormous concrete cylinder. Concrete pillars, walls, walkways—as far as the eye can see. You’ll likely feel dwarfed by the soaring central atrium, where guests zoom up and down in glass elevator tubes. The maze of staircases and escalators can be daunting, but signage helps point the way. This is a busy, bustling place that attracts many conventioneers and business travelers. It’s been referred to as a “city within a city,” and that it is. Amenity highlights: You’ll never go hungry with dining options that range from independently operated fast-food outlets in the busy atrium court up to the 35th floor’s L.A. Prime steakhouse with to-die-for-views. The pièce de résistance is BonaVista Lounge, a casual bar located on the 34th floor, which revolves 360 degrees. The atrium’s third level doubles as a jogging track, and open alcoves also feature exercise equipment for those who prefer to flex in public. Insider tip: As intriguing as this mammoth property can be, you may occasionally find yourself—literally—going in circles. Make your way to the fourth floor, and duck out the glass doors between the pizzeria and the falafel place—you’ll emerge into a peaceful (and square) garden and patio area.
