Westin Bonaventure Hotel, Postmodern hotel in downtown Los Angeles, United States.
The Westin Bonaventure Hotel is a postmodern high-rise in downtown Los Angeles featuring five cylindrical glass towers rising 118 meters tall. The metal and glass facade reflects the surrounding cityscape, creating a distinctive visual presence from most viewpoints in the city.
Architect John C. Portman Jr. designed this 35-floor structure in 1976 as part of efforts to modernize downtown Los Angeles. The building became an important landmark reflecting the city's development during that era.
The hotel has hosted filming for major movies and television shows over the decades. Visitors walking through often notice the building's role in shaping how Los Angeles looks on screen.
The hotel contains about 1,350 rooms and suites with multiple restaurants spread throughout the building. A color-coded elevator system with red, yellow, green, and blue markings helps guests navigate the large complex.
The top floor houses a rotating restaurant that offers 360-degree views of Los Angeles. The building also skips the numbers 7 and 13 in its floor counting system, a detail most visitors overlook.
