Ten years ago it would have been unheard of to open an upscale hotel in downtown Los Angeles, but as of 2018 the neighborhood is almost completely gentrified and quite safe (there are some pockets on and around Skid Row with large homeless populations). The NoMad has an enviable location on the corner of 7th Street and Olive. LAX takes around 30 minutes, depending on traffic. Venice Beach can take up to 45 minutes to reach with traffic. ![]() Universal Studios Hollywood is about 25 minutes away. As for entertainment, STAPLES Center is an 18-minute walk (or six-minute drive) The Broad Museum is a 13-minute walk (or six-minute drive) and Walt Disney Concert Hall is a 15-minute walk (or six-minute drive). Farther afield, it's an 11-minute walk to Grand Central Market, with local favorites like Eggslut and Horse Thief BBQ. Guests are a mix of couples, business travelers, and locals on upscale staycations. This is definitely a hip place, but it's also quite refined and upscale. ![]() The dimly lit lobby and corridors are a turn off to some. The bank's original gold and blue Italianate lobby ceiling has been completely restored and is used as design inspiration throughout the rest of the hotel, which has a certain Italian vintage hip charm (the style won't be to everyone's tastes). Fans of the NoMad Hotel New York will recognize Jacques Garcia's design work and chef Daniel Humm in the restaurants, but there's a sense of Los Angeles flair, especially up on the rooftop pool which is complete with lush landscaping, intricate wicker chairs, and a stone fireplace in the shape of an angry demi-god (which looks especially cool when lit up at night). Originally built in the 1920s as the headquarters for The Bank of Italy, the NoMad's new look (opened in 2018) keeps the old and adds heavy does of vintage hipness.
