Hotel Figueroa

Central to the Hotel Figueroa’s reincarnation will be the extensive public spaces that flow from the entrance on Figueroa Street thru to the outdoor pool and bar. The vision for these communal spaces has been heavily influenced by the hotel’s Spanish Mediterranean architecture and the evolving lifestyle and culture of DTLA. Apicii has partnered with four-time James Beard Award nominated Chef Casey Lane, Executive Chef and Owner of the Tasting Kitchen in Venice Beach, CA., and recognized industry leader and a pioneer in craft bartending Dushan Zaric, the mastermind behind world-famous New York bars Employees Only and Macao Trading Co., on all culinary and beverage concepts for the hotel. Chef Lane and Zaric travelled extensively thru Italy, France and Spain to find inspiration and create restaurants, bars and night life experiences that will be central to the heart and soul of Hotel Figueroa as a vibrant meeting place in DTLA. Upon entering the spacious lobby, behind a transparent wooden glass wall will be Breva, a Mediterranean restaurant that draws its inspiration from the Basque Region. The menu will reflect a mix of traditional Basque and Mediterranean influenced dishes. Chef Lane felt a strong connection between the great farming valleys and coast of the Basque country that bare a strong resemblance to Southern California. The style of service an presentation will encourage communal dinning with a broad selection of tapas and sharable dishes. French doors will extend seating onto the sidewalk activating the front of the historic hotel for the first time since its inception.Hotel Figueroa will house 268 guestrooms and suites designed to evoke the feeling of being a favored guest in a modernized historic hotel. Owing to the original floorplan of the building, the hotel will offer several different room types, each with its own unique charm and personality. Wide plank hardwood floors, plaster walls, a mix of blackened steel and brushed brass bathroom fittings and custom decorative tile reinforces the hotel’s Spanish origins –relaxed but refined.
