Bonavista Revolving Lounge at The Westin Bonaventure Hotel

Skyline Views and Sophisticated Sips Before the Show

Perched atop The Westin Bonaventure Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, the Bonavista Revolving Lounge offers a unique, slowly rotating panorama of the city. This retro-modern lounge brings a classic LA vibe with its 360-degree views, plush seating, and creative cocktails—making it a one-of-a-kind spot just a short walk or ride from many of downtown LA's top concert venues.

With a relaxed casual dress code and a focus on cocktails and small bites, it’s more of a chic lounge than a full-scale restaurant, but the ambiance and skyline views are hard to beat for a pre-show meetup or a post-performance wind down.

Why Concert-goers love it

Its central downtown location makes it incredibly convenient for concert-goers heading to venues like Crypto.com Arena, The Theatre at Ace Hotel, or the Walt Disney Concert Hall. The vibe is quiet enough for conversation, yet lively with energy as the city twinkles around you. Service is efficient and the staff are well-versed in helping guests get in and out in time for showtime. The rotating floor adds a touch of novelty to your evening without taking too much time out of your schedule.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking to kick off the night with a drink and a view
• Solo travelers wanting a memorable, low-key experience before a dream concert
• Couples enjoying a romantic night out with skyline views
• Fans craving a relaxing space to get in the mood for a show
• Budget-conscious music fans who want an upscale vibe without a full dinner bill

What People Say

Guests love the stunning city views and the nostalgic charm of the slowly revolving floor. Many mention it’s a unique LA experience that feels special even if you’re just popping in for a drink. Cocktails are praised for being well-crafted, and the service is often noted as friendly and attentive. It’s also frequently recommended as a romantic or impressive spot to bring out-of-town visitors.

Areas for Improvement

While the views and drinks win high marks, the food selection is limited since it’s primarily a lounge. Some guests mention that the revolving floor can feel a bit dated or cause slight motion discomfort if you're sensitive to movement. It’s also not ideal if you’re looking for a full dinner before a show.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking stylish drinks, skyline views, and a relaxed downtown vibe, Bonavista Revolving Lounge is a memorable and convenient pre-show stop.
