Five years in the making and $2.5 billion later, a star is reborn in Century City. Fairmont Century Plaza, formerly the iconic Century Plaza Hotel, is a dazzling new addition to the Avenue of the Stars, opening in 2021. Among industry giants like Westfield Century Plaza, Creative Artists Agency and J.P. Morgan, the 16-story hotel that was a former site of a 20th Century Studios backlot is a hot spot for both business and leisure guests.
Reinvented by design firm Yabu Pushelberg, Fairmont Century Plaza retains its midcentury panache with fabulous additions throughout, including modern art installations (don’t miss meeting Laura, Jaume Plensa’s 23-foot sculpture out front), a French brasserie, a 14,000-foot spa, an immense fitness center, a cocktail lounge, a rooftop pool and a Fairmont Gold hotel-within-a-hotel.
Although there are fewer rooms in the new Century Plaza, the 400 accommodations, including 85 suites, are now more spacious. Updates include elegant minimalist decor in calming neutral gray and white hues, marble bathrooms, Nespresso machines and signature luxurious bedding.
