Fairmont Century Plaza to Open this Fall in Los Angeles with Showpiece 14,000 Square Foot Spa and More
Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles, California.
This fall, iconic mid-century modern Century Plaza Hotel in Century City, California will be reborn as the Fairmont Century Plaza. The fully reimagined Los Angeles landmark is the centerpiece of a $2.5B mixed-use development project on 6.14 acres.
Originally debuting in 1966, the hotel has welcomed presidents, heads of state, and a long list of celebrities over the years. It was designed by renowned architect Minoru Yamasaki (best known for the original World Trade Center in New York City) and earned a spot on the list for National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2009.

The fall reopening will showcase a transformation by international design firm Yabu Pushelberg, featuring 400 luxury guest rooms, all boasting their own private balcony, and 63 private residences. When it comes to dining, James Beard Award-nominated Executive Chef Jason Franey will helm signature restaurant Lumière, a seasonal, modern American Brasserie, while the 17th-floor rooftop pool will offer cabanas and serve up whimsical beverages with California flair. There’s also close to 24,000-square-feet of private event space that will include one of the largest ballrooms in Los Angeles and will seat over 1,500 in the future.
