It is Hotel Intercontinental that changed the skyline of downtown LA.
Located in the heart of downtown LA, Wilshire Grand Center.
It was built by Korea's Hanjin.
A 73-story building was built on the site of the Wilshire Grand Hotel, which was originally owned by Korean Air.
It is currently the tallest building in LA and the tallest building west of
the Mississippi River .
It's not far from Korea Town, so it's a convenient location
for Korean travelers as well .
The main lobby is located on the 70th floor of the building, and the view from the
rooftop bar to the restaurant is outstanding.
Even if it is not a hotel restaurant, it is a good hotel for food travelers as
there are many restaurants nearby .
If you leave your car in the valet parking area on the first floor and tell us what luggage to bring to your room, they will
bring it to you.
I brought my luggage as soon as I entered the room.
It is also a part that I think is Intercontinental.
Valet parking was about $60.
On the first floor of the hotel, there is an area for non-face-to-face food delivery.
And when you go to find a parked car, follow this sign and go to p1.
You may have to wait 20 to 30 minutes during check-out time, so leave plenty of time.
I took the elevator up to the 70th floor where the main lobby is.
I've lived in the countryside for a few months and this high-speed elevator is so exciting.
My ears are numb and it feels good to be in the city.
First we looked at the lobby.
It's so quiet right now, but this place turns into a lobby lounge in the
evening .
So, there are no seats for guests who want a light drink.
I also came down for a beer in the evening and there was no place to sit, so I
saved the beer.
As it is a hotel that changed the skyline of downtown LA, the scenery is unconditional.
The night view is good, but my camera can't capture it.
On the side, you can see the Hollywood sign in the distance.
I don't know if it's safe to say you can see this, but anyway, that location is the Hollywood sign.
And if you go in this way, there is a bathroom, but there was no one there, so
I took a picture of the scenery.
This is a typical hotel bathroom scene.
I'll check in now and go upstairs.
The check-in counter here is a bit strange.
It's just so dazzling at check-in time.
I don't know if it was placed in this location on purpose, but please check in with sunglasses on.
Except for the dazzling things, he was very kind and meticulous
, so I felt like an expensive hotel again.
I was assigned a room on the 49th floor.
You have to go down instead of going up to the room, but the elevator is
divided into the lower and upper floors.
When you click on the floor you want to go to, the elevator is assigned and displayed.
For security reasons, this hotel is designed to
go through the 70th floor lobby wherever you go .
It can be a bit confusing at first, but after coming to the city after a long time, the high-speed elevator ride was
exciting.
On the way to the room on the 49th floor, there was a room still under housekeeping.
I think it was because I arrived a little earlier than the check-in time.
This room is a standard king bed room.
There is a button to turn the entire power on and off as soon as you enter the room.
There is a wardrobe on the left with
extra blankets, bath drop, slippers, iron and safe.
The bathroom is a separate toilet and has a separate bathtub and shower.
I look at the bathroom sink, what?? What is this?
The housekeeper left the tool behind.
You came to find me right away.
You said you're very sorry, so you 're going there
with something like that... I thought.
Let's see what's in the sink again.
There are cotton balls, cotton swabs, nail care kit, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion
and soap.
I'll see the room.
There is a TV, a table, a day bed, and a king bed.
There is a temperature and lighting control next to the bed.
By the time I checked out, I got used to this.
There are 2 complimentary bottles of water.
Bottled water is provided so you can keep taking it in the lobby so you don't have to buy any more.
There is coffee and a coffee machine.
The refrigerator mini-bar is a system that requires a separate call to open.
There is a wine opener in the drawer and the rest are empty.
Finally, let's take a look.
It's a bit foggy, but it's still a view looking down from the 49th floor.
It's like this in the evening.
Let's do more tours of the hotel.
Take the elevator again to the 70th floor and transfer.
I'll show you the swimming pool and gym on the 7th floor.
The swimming pool is open from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, so be sure to check it out as
it fluctuates slightly depending on the season .
Towels are available for free use.
There is a main pool and a heated pool.
Even if it's not flashy, I think swimming in the city can
feel a little special .
Even in December, when the sun rises, you can swim in LA, but
I never go in.
You can use the sunbeds around the pool if they are empty, and you can use the
cabanas by reservation.
This is the view of the pool after sunset.
The gym is open from 5am to 9pm on weekdays and 7am to 7pm on
weekends.
I went here during the day and the staff told me to come back
then because the sun goes down, so I
went back and
I thought I was in a club in the world .
It was one of the most gorgeous hotel gyms I've been to.
If I exercise in a place like this, I think my muscles will grow better.
Towels are provided and there is no water.
Bring the bottled water prepared in the lobby and come down.
I don't know, but the exercise equipment looks good too.
There were a lot of people exercising in the morning, so it was burdensome to shoot, but in the
evening there were only two groups of people exercising.
I took the escalator from the 7th floor to the 1st floor and looked around the hotel.
There is a coffee shop like this from the lobby on the first floor towards the valet parking pick-up.
During the day, it was crowded with business people around.
The tourist information center is on the left after leaving the first floor of the hotel.
I'm going to go eat now.
There are many good restaurants in the hotel, but there are also many restaurants near the hotel.
I decided to go to the restaurant across the road from the hotel.
This is the place I went because it was not lunch time and I was looking for a place where there is no break time
.
It's called engine number 28 engine company no.28.
Where there are so many skyscrapers, old buildings like this attract attention.
It's a place with history.
This restaurant is the former Los Angeles Fire Department.
Built in 1912, the building served as a fire station until it was closed in 1967.
It was registered as a National Historic Site in 1979 and converted into
Restaurant Engine 28 in the late 1980s .
It is said to be a place where American firefighters recreate the food they used to eat.
There is equipment used by firefighters at the time even inside the restaurant.
It's not mealtime, so there aren't many customers and there aren't many employees working.
After waiting for a long time, they came to take my order,
after waiting for a long time , they brought me
beer, and after I drank almost all of the beer, the food came out.
This is tuna tataki as an appetizer.
This is the salmon bagel I made.
And this is the brunch hamburger that my husband made.
Filling my stomach with beer, I'm about to be offended, but after eating this tuna
tataki, my mind is completely relieved.
It is tataki that enhances the taste of the ingredients with a fire flavor without strong seasoning.
To meet tuna tataki of this quality in an American restaurant like
this makes me want to come back to try this as a main dish.
All other food was good.
I went back to the hotel and rested for a while, then went to the lobby lounge to have another beer, but
it was full, so I went out of the hotel.
Even in the evening in front of the hotel, the lights come on and it becomes even more colorful.
There is a Macy's department store near the hotel, so I went there.
Like Macy's, the year-end decorations are gorgeous.
On the way back from the department store , I stopped by the
mall right next to the hotel
and bought some coffee. Pick at Sevens figat7th mall also has a food court, so it
is recommended for those who need takeout .
There is also Korean food.
I showed you the LA Downtown Intercontinental Hotel and its surroundings.
