If you're looking for a modern aesthetic with a sterile atmosphere than this property won't make your bucket list. If, however, your hedonistic inner bohemian is pining for a truly unique lodging experience look no further. This well situated and historic hotel has had a few incarnations in its past but has embraced an over the top Morrocan decor for... More

The Figueroa is beautiful, no doubt. But the event manager there, Uno, may be the single rudest individual I've ever encountered in the hotel industry. Never staying there ever again. What a jerk! More

I travel almost weekly and stay at the typical business hotels and this was such a nice change. The hotel has lots of character. The sleeping room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It's an older property so don't expect anything modern and fancy. I love the Moroccan theme throughout the hotel. Check out the pool area in the... More

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed our hotel. You are correct on the parking. A bit difficult to find because Figueroa street is one way. Elyse and I are the only ones to take reservations and we attempt to point out how to get to our lot from Olympic when we take the reservations. At least the price is right. Tomorrow... More

I was tired of the same large hotel chains and decided to take my money elsewhere. I saw the Hotel Figueroa across from the Staples Center and LA Live and decide to give it a try. You walk in and go back in time into what seems to be an old Moroccan movie set. The 13 story building was built... More

I used to come to the Figueroa Hotel as a professional tour guide with groups for many years. After I moved back to Europe, I did not have the opportunity to visit until recently. Wow, the place has gotten only better. If you are looking for a tourist class hotel with all the amenities yet centrally located, this is your... More

Thank you very much. I seem to remember when you were tour guiding the area was not that great. The Staples center was really the catalyst in reforming this whole area. The Ritz and JW are brand new and the ownership of the old Holiday Inn across the sreet have done a wonderful job I am told in transforming it... More

this was a great change from the cookie cutter hotels. I go on vacation every year to new cities and watch hockey games. Hotel Fig was originally picked for being close to the venue, but it turns out it was a nice relaxing place to stay. Check in went smoothly and having an Old School key was kind of cool.... More

Since 87 I have been staying here. I have watched the hotel change as art is added or made on the walls, ceiling, doors, poolside or elsewhere in the hotel. I have stayed in grand rooms, and often tiny rooms, which made me enjoy the estethics of the lobby and pool even more. Just as special as the hotel are... More

We will miss you. Your roaring laughter resonated through the lobby, particularly after a few margaritas. We have given away a lot of complimentary rooms over the years to loyal guests when their business was tough. .I believe you are heading to Vietnam to teach English. I did notice a few grammatical errors in your review which have to be... More

Others words that come to mind are romantic, intimate and fun. The place is eye candy for people tired of sterile, cookie cutter hotels. It's an exotic paradise without ever leaving the Continental US . The owner was hands on and available for a private tour. When next I visit LA, I know where I will be staying… More

The location is superber. Across the street from Staples Center and LA live. 5 min cab ride to Spring street with even more bars and cafes. The rooms are nicely decorated with a moroccan flair. even the small rooms are large enough for 2 people. Small rooms have Queen size beds. If your heading to Downtown LA...Stay here! More
