Hip without being over the top, LINE LA sits in Los Angeles’ Koreatown, perfectly positioned between Hollywood and downtown. Designer-architect Sean Knibb transformed the hotel’s 1964 Wilshire building into a bright, modern boutique property. Floor-to-ceiling windows, original artwork and moving photography combine with bold splashes of color to create a warm, urban atmosphere. Each room features handmade furnishings crafted in Knibb’s Venice Beach studio, along with amenities such as complimentary WiFi, flat-screen TVs and Buckler’s bath products.
Renowned Los Angeles chef Roy Choi, a pioneer of the city’s food truck movement, oversees the menus at Pot Café and the rooftop garden-like Commissary. The hotel’s cocktail hour is a highlight—try the Blueberry, an inventive drink that blends cucumber, bourbon, Peruvian black mint and fresh blueberry for a surprising, refreshing flavor. The beds are large and comfortable, but late nights are part of the experience: explore Koreatown’s 24-hour scene with some midnight barbecue or test your voice at a nearby karaoke bar.
