STILE Downtown Los Angeles by Kasa

A movie-palace tower in the Historic Core

STILE Downtown Los Angeles by Kasa occupies the United Artists Building on South Broadway, the ornate movie-palace tower that anchors the southern stretch of Downtown's Historic Core. The architecture is the reason to stay: carved stonework and Spanish Gothic detailing from the era when Broadway was the centre of Los Angeles cinema, with the theatre auditorium still in the building below. Rooms take a contemporary, pared-back line against that backdrop. Kasa runs the property on a largely self-directed model — self check-in, a 24/7 virtual guest team and an on-site desk during set hours — which suits travellers who want a central base and a landmark building rather than full-service attendance. The rooftop holds a guest-only pool and the Somewhere Special bar, set directly beneath the tower's crown with the newer Downtown skyline behind it.
