A fantastic hotel with great gym and pool facilities including Sanaa steam room
and ice baths aswell as a random basketball court (didn't use). The reputation of the leisure facilities is second to none and the hotel is very traditional in its dark decor with a lot of reflection to its past. The room was very spacious with dated bathroom facilities but still adequate.
The area isn't the greatest but that could be said of much of downtown LA but we'd stay here again and travelled as a family...

My family and I had a great stay at The Magic Castle. The hotel has a charming retro vibe which we really enjoyed, the location is perfect for Hollywood-based activities. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and ensure we enjoyed our stay. We had some issues with extremely noisy people in the room above us but all complaints were dealt with swiftly and with compassion. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, I can't explain home welcome all the staff made us feel. Thank you...

During this time, visitors can enjoy a variety of attractions linked to history and culture, including museums, theatres, live music venues, and stunning architecture. This makes for a budget-friendly trip that offers great value for money while experiencing the vibrant urban landscape and artistic spirit of the city.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Los Angeles, you may discover significant savings by visiting the Dealsopens in new window or Last-Minute Dealsopens in new window sections on Hotels.com, where discounted rates on nearby hotels are often available as your travel date approaches.

This way, if prices drop or rooms become available, you could be among the first to seize the opportunity for a spontaneous getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you find a better deal on your stay in a Los Angeles hotel.
