The Sonesta Los Angeles Airport hotel has completed a US$42 million transformation, making it the top property at LAX for a layover for business and leisure travellers at the bustling hub.
The transformation includes redesigned guest rooms, a modernized lobby, 14,000 square feet of reimagined event spaces – including the cutting-edge Sonesta Work Suite – and four distinctive dining venues offering a variety of curated culinary experiences.
“Our renovations redefine what it means to stay near LAX,” said Sonesta LAX General Manager, Robert Routh.
“While we have always been the go-to choice for travelers with our 24-hour complimentary airport shuttle, the new design enhances comfort, convenience and style.
“From fresh, mid-century modern interiors to upgraded dining options and our innovative Work Suite, we have created a space that seamlessly blends function and relaxation.”
Each of the hotel’s 614 guest rooms now feature sleek, modern furnishings with amenities designed for productivity and relaxation.
Spacious work desks with ergonomic chairs, large HD TVs, Keurig coffee makers and mini-refrigerators complement the design.
Double-paned windows ensure a restful night’s sleep, while all King rooms include a pull-out sofa bed, while all double-bed rooms have been upgraded to feature two queen beds – 224 in total – a key differentiator from the competition.
Five exclusive suites on the upper floors range from 610 to 1,400 square feet, offering breathtaking views and upgraded amenities like Nespresso coffee machines, 65-inch TVs, and plush bathrobes.
Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi is available in all rooms with accessible accommodations also available.
The highlight of the revamped event spaces is the introduction of the Sonesta Work Suite, a dynamic, multi-functional meeting environment tailored to modern professionals. With seating for up to 12, the suite supports collaboration through self-contained work areas, making it ideal for board meetings, brainstorming sessions and executive retreats.
The hotel’s 15 meeting rooms, including the expansive 5,876-square-foot Continental Ballroom, offer flexible configurations for events of all sizes.
High-speed wireless internet, video conferencing capabilities, and state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment are standard. On-site catering and a 24-hour business center with technical support further enhance the meeting experience.
Sonesta LAX now boasts four updated dining options, each tailored to deliver a memorable culinary journey.
There’s the Yokoso Sushi Bar, where you can experience modern Japanese dining in an elegant setting; the Century Taproom and Lounge featuring California-inspired pub fare, featuring brick oven pizzas and a curated draft selection; the Landing Restaurant, where you can start the day with a vibrant breakfast that highlights fresh, local flavors; and the Boulevard Market Café, offering grab-and-go options or cozy seating for a quick bite.
Room service is also available 24/7, ensuring guests can enjoy their favorite dishes any time.
Guests can also unwind in the year-round outdoor pool (heated for year-round usage) or recharge at the 24-hour fitness center, equipped with Peloton bikes and modern cardio and strength-training machines.
