The Spotlight on Hilton Checkers Los Angeles

Historic Elegance in the Heart of Downtown LA

Hilton Checkers Los Angeles blends Old Hollywood charm with modern comfort in the heart of the city's Financial District. Housed in a beautifully restored 1920s building designed by Charles F. Whittlesey, this European-style hotel offers panoramic city views from its rooftop deck and a refined, classic atmosphere just minutes from LA's top concert venues.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything when you're catching a show — and Hilton Checkers delivers. It's less than a 10-minute walk to the Walt Disney Concert Hall and other top venues, with the Pershing Square Subway Station just five minutes away for late-night rides. The hotel is known for being peaceful and quiet despite its central location, offering a welcome escape after a high-energy night. While standard check-in is at 4 PM and check-out at 11 AM, the front desk is helpful with storing luggage if you're arriving early or heading out late.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a stylish, central base
- Solo travelers seeing an artist on their bucket list
- Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
- Fans who value a quiet, elegant space to unwind
- Budget-conscious music lovers seeking upscale vibes without the ultra-luxury price tag

Food and Drink Options

Checkers Restaurant serves up a creative blend of California cuisine with French and Asian influences, perfect for fueling up before or after a show. While there's no 24/7 room service, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are available — and you can always grab a post-show martini at Checkers Lounge. Early riser or late sleeper? Breakfast hours are accommodating enough for those who hit the snooze button after a night of music.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself leans toward the serene side, you're steps away from LA’s legendary nightlife. From trendy rooftop bars to classic downtown lounges, you’ll find plenty of late-night spots within walking distance. The hotel lounge is ideal for a quick nightcap if you prefer something low-key.

What People Say

Guests often rave about the hotel's historic charm and unbeatable location. Many note the rooftop views as a highlight, especially after a night out. Reviewers also appreciate the friendly staff, clean rooms, and the quiet, relaxing atmosphere — a rare find in bustling downtown LA.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel shows its age in minor ways, like older bathroom fixtures or slightly dated decor in some rooms. Also, while there's a restaurant and lounge on-site, options for late-night eats are a bit limited unless you venture out.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in downtown LA and want a blend of historic charm, modern comfort, and walkable convenience — Hilton Checkers Los Angeles hits the right note.

Manuel M, Banning, visiting The Novo Los Angeles

Liked: To start out I had a complicated request for the Hilton due to a credit card issue and they helped me make my experience awesome - they rapidly took care of the problem which was my fault and everything worked out awesome! The valet was outstanding - super quick and professional service; the patio on the roof was amazing. Thank you Hilton checkers!

Recommend to stay if you...

Liked: The Hotel and the room was beautiful, as I expected during booking. The bed is good quality, pillow is soft enough. The location is super good, closed to center with many attractions around, within walking distance.
Disliked: I felt too bad with front dest. Aftẻ more than 20 hours flight from Vietnam, I wanted a short rest in my room before getting to the business dinner later on. But I was stopped by front desk by the reason "the booking is not under my real name as in my ID". Well, it happened with Booking.com that I could do the same with various hotels in the US, not the first time. But what made me total disappointed was the front desk's manner. Instead of helping me out by reaching to local Booking.com or any other way to change my name, which is the hotel policy, she turned her face and asked me to do everything by myself, even I could not borrow the phone to make a call. this was not my first time staying at Hilton. I did had a booking from problem at Hilton Garden Inn, Staten Island, New York, but the staff there was so helpful and friendly to explained and helped me out. So in overal, I was satisfied with the hotel for the price more than $200/night, which is not cheap. But I was totally upset with the front desk lady, who I saw behaved bad with two other guests before me, by saying "would you please stand a side to give privacy to this guest" with a demanding look as if she was granted something to beggars, while I was too sure that those two guests had to pay above $200 like I did.

Good hotel for Downtown LA

Liked: Excellent staff. Comfortable room. Location if you required access to downtown/Crypto arena for hockey
Disliked: Valet only parking, and this was expensive, particularly when it is the next door garage that is used (using this is $18 compared to valet $54 plus tax). Also compulsory $30 destination charge, which is just a hike in room rate for little benefit
