AC Hotel Downtown Los Angeles

Yabu Pushelberg’s interiors for the new AC Hotel Downtown Los Angeles appeal to a modern, design-conscious traveler who wants the essential elements of a luxury hotel at an accessible rate. Imagining the hotel as an artist’s home-away-from-home, the designers brought the Spanish roots of the AC brand into conversation with the Latin heritage of Los Angeles. The result is a distinct identity that’s familiar and residential without ever feeling generic.

"Downtown LA AC Hotel was designed as an artist’s home. We wanted to create an environment rooted in comfort, beauty, and light. We chose to express this through warm, honest materials and a thoughtful collection of art and sculpture. We also wanted to honor the Spanish heritage of the AC brand and looked to Spanish architecture to shape our design approach."
— George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg
