About

The Wayfarer Downtown La, Tapestry Collection By Hilton

The Wayfarer Downtown LA is a Tapestry Collection by Hilton property set in the heart of the city's business and entertainment district. The hotel's 1940s-inspired interiors blend vintage charm with contemporary comforts, and the rooftop restaurant and bar are a draw for both guests and locals.

Rooms range from Urban King and Skyline King options to Queen Studios and mobility-accessible deluxe rooms, all equipped with air conditioning and modern amenities. The hotel also offers a 24-hour reception, express check-in/out, and a luggage room.

The location is one of the property's strongest assets: it's a short walk to STAPLES Center, LA Live, and the LA Convention Center, with easy access to Metro rail and major bus routes. Guests can also enjoy a welcome drink on arrival, and the on-site restaurant and bar serve breakfast and brunch.

With an overall guest rating of 8.1 from 829 reviews, the hotel earns particular praise for its helpful staff, clean and well-decorated rooms, and the quality of its dining offerings. While the property doesn't have its own fitness center or pool, its central position and rooftop terrace make it a practical base for exploring Downtown LA.

“Great location for both business and sightseeing. The hotel breakfast was good value and tasty. If you want extra like ham or turkey, there's a Ralph's supermarket about 9 blocks away. LA Live (STAPLES Center / Nokia Plaza) is a 10-minute walk, and the LA Convention Center is just behind. I'd recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a reasonable room rate.”
