“The Fig is a historic hotel in downtown Los Angeles. It’s been around for a long time and some recent upgrades brought back the hotel’s charme. There’s a cool lobby bar to grab drinks and a nice poolside restaurant for food. The location next to LA Live can’t be beat.”

“Highly recommend checking out the hotel even if you’re not staying here. So much history at this hotel. The Oscars used to be held here and stars like Marilyn Monroe used to stay here. As soon as you step into the hotel you feel like you’re taken back to glamorous Hollywood of the 1930s and 40s. The pool area with the bar is also a great area to hang out.”

“This is such a cool hotel. By far my favorite part is the rooftop bar. Amazing views of the beach and ocean. Great for sunsets. 🌅 ”

“The Mondrian let’s you dive into that Hollywood lifestyle. Skybar, the rooftop pool deck is where it’s happening.”

“What can I say? Just walking through this hotel takes you back to the roaring 20s - 1920s that is 😊. The architecture and design with so much detail is a must see which is why I included it in my downtown LA walking tour.
