The Line Hotel in Koreatown mixes industrial chic with a vibrant energy, offering bold rooms, a lively rooftop pool, and a culinary scene that celebrates local flavors.
"This hotel put Koreatown on the map for a number of visitors—and continues to keep it there. Minimalist rooms of all sizes get pops of color and culture in the form of chairs upholstered in Mexican blankets and custom-commissioned photography by Kevin Hanley and ACME Gallery. Stock up on a few Korean treats from the minibar and then sweat it off by taking advantage of complimentary tai chi classes and bicycles, or dancing the night away at the Break Room 86 nightclub, where you may well spot the friends you made in the communal lobby and workspace that day. —Brooke Porter Katz"
"The James Beard Foundation’s Taste America culinary series will host a dinner at the Line Hotel, featuring chefs like Lord Maynard Llera, Max Boonthanakit, Lijo George, and Danielle Duran-Zecca. Tickets range from $150 to $225 for VIPs." - Mona Holmes
"With flourishing verdure and plenty of concrete, the lobby bar at the Line falls somewhere between a Brutalist oasis and something out of Jurassic Park, and it’s the perfect place to settle for a drink or two at happy hour." - Rebecca Roland
"Picking up influences from the Korean and Latin communities that comprise Koreatown, it's clear Roy Choi put a ton of thought into the dynamic food and drink spots at The Line - one of LA's coolest hotels. While POT, Commissary and Poketo warrant their own reviews, there are still a number of rad elements in the hotel, specifically Choi's CaFe, a buzzing hub of tasty sweets (that espresso cookie tho') and coffee drinks. Both CaFe and the rooftop pool outside Commissary are open to the public making it a clutch spot for a last minute meeting or a first date." - The HR Dept
"'I would take the 405 to the 101 for you' is one among many charming quips you'll read amongst the pithy stationary found at Poketo, a boutique shop at The Line Hotel. Initially an online concept seeking to make everyday art & design accessible to the people, this is the second retail location for Poketo (the other is on 3rd and Wilshire). Just beyond the hotel lobby, marble floors and unstained, wall-to-wall wood shelving cement the luxury meets artist pop-up vibe. If you're looking to peruse wares made by a variety of up-and-coming makers and local collaborators, or want to blow some hard-earned scratch on things you don't need but MUSTHAVE, go to there." - The HR Dept
