The landmark Mayfair Hotel in downtown Los Angeles's commercial center stands six blocks from the convention center and Staples Arena and two miles from the Performing Arts Center. Experts recommend taking cabs or shuttles to downtown destinations for safety reasons. The DASH community shuttle is the best bet for getting around the downtown area, while taxes and city buses are best for short trips to surrounding areas. Rental cars are the best options for longer trips outside downtown. What's more, a private club at the hotel welcomes Mayfair's guests for music, dancing and major partying. The Mayfair also is two to 15 miles from Chinatown, Dodger Stadium, Universal Studios Hollywood and the Santa Monica beaches. Disneyland is 27 miles away.
Build during the Roaring Twenties, the building still reflects the grandeur of the era with its glass etchings, brass fixtures, skylights and frieze pillars in the lobby's atrium. The hotel restaurant, the Orchid Garden, offers an art-deco setting as well as breakfasts, lunches and dinners. The hotel also provides business services and complimentary bus tickets.
The 295 guest rooms include sitting areas, TV Internet access, movies, data ports, coffee makers and other amenities travelers expect.
Eighteen miles from Los Angeles International Airport, the Mayfair Hotel offers a casual, but nostalgic, atmosphere at modest rates. Casually clad international travelers mingle with conventioneers, sports fans and visitors who appreciate the non-fussy nostalgia, down-to-earth vibes and budget accommodations.
