Entry Description

In Downtown LA the new Wilshire Grand Center stands as the tallest building west of the Mississippi. The 890-room InterContinental Hotel is designed to show-off 360º views, inviting hotel guests to tap into its energy, vibrancy, and unique “LA” culture.

Creating an authentic hotel experience requires thoughtful understanding of place and culture. The hotel’s design embodies three organizing criteria: Shape the project’s social spaces and overall experience around LA’s unique climate; Seamlessly tap into LA’s transformative character; and, offer visitors a unique collection of spaces.
