The Desmond is an ambitious hotel project situated at the corner of Grand Avenue and 11th street in Downtown LA, just a few blocks from the renowned Staples Center and a host of entertainment venues.

The Desmond is an ambitious hotel project situated in Downtown Los Angeles. A parking lot since the 1920s, the design architect, KAP Studios is currently working on options to support a hotel-use zone change for the site. The 13-story hotel will provide 160 luxury guest rooms with facilities including a rooftop pool, conferencing, valet parking, and spaces to eat, relax, and be entertained.

The design opens up a presence for the hotel at street level, engaging a wider community with a restaurant and bar. A continuous glass façade will also blur boundaries between inside and outside; street and hotel.
