Mayan Theater, Art deco entertainment venue in Downtown Los Angeles, United States.

The Mayan Theater features pre-Columbian patterns on its facade, a grand Hall of Feathered Serpents lobby, and an auditorium with an Aztec calendar chandelier.

Opening in 1927 as a performance arts theater, the venue transformed from showing musical comedies to screening films, until becoming a nightclub in 1990.

The theater presents Latin dance events called Paraiso on Saturdays, offering a mix of Reggaeton, EDM, Salsa, Cumbia, and Hip Hop music.

Located at 1038 S Hill Street, five blocks from Staples Center, the venue maintains a capacity of 1700 people for concerts and dance events.

The building served as a filming location for numerous movies, including The Bodyguard and Rock 'n' Roll High School, preserving its original architectural elements.
