The Omni Los Angeles Hotel at California Plaza stands adjacent to the plaza's corporate towers and the Museum of Contemporary Art. In fact, this high-rise oasis is regarded as so much a part of the museum that some of the permanent collections are displayed in the downtown hotel's lobby. From the Omni's third floor, guests can directly access the museum's gift shop. The hotel also is close to the Los Angeles Civic Center, other museums and cultural attractions, and Chinatown. Although in downtown, guests are still about six miles from Hollywood and the L.A. Zoo, and eight miles from Beverly Hills, the roaring nightclubs of Sunset Strip and Rodeo Drive's tony shops. Sun and sand worshippers are only 14 miles from Venice Beach and Santa Monica, while the kids won't mind the 25-mile drive to Disneyland. What's more, the Los Angeles Airport - known in these parts as simply LAX - is 18 miles from the downtown hotel.

Naturally, the City of Angels is a city of dining options serving everything from steak to sushi. The Omni's Grand Cafe offers innovative California cuisine indoors and outdoors overlooking the museum's sculpture garden and a reflecting pond ringed with magnolia trees. The hotel's Noe Bar offers American cuisine with Japanese influences, signature drinks and a cigar- stuffed humidor.

Meanwhile, hotel accommodations feature such amenities as 24-hour room service, health club, sauna, heated pool, business and translation services and complimentary Town Car service within the biz district.

The Los Angeles hotel's 443 guestrooms, many with great views of downtown, feature earth-tone décor, wireless high-speed Internet, minibars, refrigerators, designer toiletries and pay movies.

Omni Los Angeles Hotel at California Plaza offers a tranquil respite from the madding crowd, a sophisticated downtown Los Angeles hotel for business travelers, families, couples and folks on weekend getaways who desire being close to prestigious cultural venues.
