About
Los Angeles Athletic Club
The Los Angeles Athletic Club is a downtown institution that doubles as a hotel. It sits on West Seventh Street, within easy reach of the city's core attractions, and carries the character of a private club — comfortable, civilised, and a cut above the usual chain experience.
Rooms blend classic style with modern comforts: flat-screen TVs, coffee machines, and air conditioning come as standard, while the club's facilities — indoor pool, sauna, steam room, fitness centre, squash courts, and a full-service spa — are all at your disposal. Breakfast is included each morning, with made-to-order omelettes and hearty options that guests consistently praise.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Comfort and facilities rated below par — While the athletic club earns strong reviews, the Comfort (5.0) and Facilities (6.5) ratings suggest the rooms and common areas may not match the standard of the service.
- Paid parking adds to the bill — Parking is available and directly connected to the hotel, but it's an extra cost — guests note an additional charge of $12 per day.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
- Check-in window starts late — Check-in begins at 4:00 PM, so early arrivals will need to plan for luggage storage (available on site).

8.3Verified guest“It felt safe, and we'd come back. It was an excellent base for sightseeing in LA, with super-friendly, accommodating staff who provided great service.”
8.3Verified guest“The room was modern, clean, and great value, with fresh touches throughout. The staff were exceptionally kind, and breakfast was hot — bacon and hearty selections included.”
8.3Verified guest“Warm and helpful reception. The suites were spacious and comfortable, though the polo suite's decor was a little dark. It has the ambiance of a gentleman's club — comfortable and civilised, superior to well-known chains. The buffet breakfast is comprehensive, and the adjacent covered parking at $12 a day is easy. The restaurant menu was limited but varied, and the food and service were very good value for downtown LA. We'd stay again without hesitation.”
