Tour: Century Plaza
Construction is wrapping up on Next Century Partners’ Century Plaza in the Century City neighborhood of Los Angeles. The development includes the restoration of Minoru Yamasaki’s Century Plaza hotel (originally opened in 1966) and two new 44-story towers designed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners.
Restoration of the 400-room Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel has been overseen by Marmol Radziner with guestrooms and public space interiors by Yabu Pushelberg. The hotel will offer a gourmet café, an American brasserie, a rooftop bar, a 14,000-square-foot spa, and two ballrooms. Along with hotel guest rooms, the restored hotel structure will also offer 63 single-story and townhouse homes designed by Yabu Pushelberg.
The two 535-foot tall residential towers feature facades of floor-to-ceiling bent glass and glass enclosed terraces. Residents will have access to a collection of amenities that include a pool, fitness center and spa, screening room, library, game room, wine cellars, party spaces, and concierges.
