LOS ANGELES
Veteran hotelier Jonathan Litvack, named general manager of the Sheraton Los Angeles Downtown Hotel in 2013, will oversee a $45 million rejuvenation of the 485-room property to include all guestrooms, meeting space and the lobby area, as well as the restaurant and lounge.
He successfully converted the hotel, which is located in the heart of the city’s financial, sports and entertainment epicenter, from a franchise operation to the world’s newest Starwood-managed hotel on June 1. The rejuvenation, which includes the hotel as well as the adjacent office tower and retail shopping center anchored by a flagship Macy's, will be renamed the Bloc. Upon completion, it will be the largest single asset mixed-use property in the City of Los Angeles.
Located within walking distance of award-winning Los Angeles Convention Center, Staples Center and LA Live, the Sheraton has more than 26,000 square feet of multi-use meeting space, a complimentary fitness facility, lobby bar and the Brasserie restaurant. Guestrooms feature luxurious Sheraton Sweet Sleeper beds, Sheraton bath amenities and wireless Internet access. Sheraton Club guestrooms offer upgraded amenities and complimentary access to the Club Lounge. The hotel embraces environmentally friendly practices, including recycling, an opt-out program for changing sheets and towels, low-flush toilets and energy-efficient light bulbs.
The Sheraton Downtown Los Angeles Hotel, part of the Starwood Hotel and Resorts Worldwide, Inc. family, is located at 711 South Hope Street in Los Angeles.
