The LINE Hotel Los Angeles

The LINE Hotel Los Angeles is a design-forward property in Koreatown that opened in 2014 and played a significant role in revitalizing the neighborhood as a destination. Designed by Omaha-based designer Sean Knibb with interiors by Clive Wilkinson, the hotel's 388 rooms look out over the city skyline from a mid-century building with a dramatically modernized interior. The LINE quickly became a culinary destination through its chef-driven restaurants — including Roy Choi's commissary — and the rooftop bar draws some of the best sunset views in the city. Its location in the heart of Koreatown puts guests within walking distance of exceptional Korean barbecue, spa culture, and night markets.
