USC Hotel

Opposite the University of Southern California's Figueroa Street gate, USC Hotel puts business travelers and campus visitors within a five-minute walk of the University Park campus, with the Shrine Auditorium two blocks north and downtown LA roughly ten minutes by car.

The four-star property runs a rooftop-adjacent outdoor pool and hot tub above the fitness center, useful after a day of meetings in the on-site business center. Rooms keep standard business amenities: safes, tea and coffee makers, and cable channels.

A 24-hour front desk and on-site restaurant suit late arrivals from LAX, roughly a twenty-minute drive south.
