Why it’s worth traveling for…

Nestled between Hollywood and Downtown in the heart of LA’s vibrant Koreatown district The LINE LA is a hip, mid-century modern hotel where the best of Korean, Latino, and classic Americana culture converge. Built in 1964, and once a home away from home for Hunter S. Thompson, the hotel’s design draws inspiration from the eclectic history and laidback minimalism style that defines Los Angeles. Architect Sean Knibb incorporated local artworks and handmade furnishings from his Venice Beach studio into the hotel’s interiors and guest rooms and there’s no mistaking you’re in the city of angels from the floor-to-ceiling windows offering sweeping views of the Hollywood Hills. The star attraction is the Michelin-star Openaire restaurant, set on a leafy outdoor terrace with a stunning pool that is a garden oasis in the heart of the iconic city.
