The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles Celebrates First Anniversary
May 17, 2011
One year ago, The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles opened its doors. Since then, The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles has redefined the luxury market in the city, exceeding projections for average daily rate by 19% and for overall occupancy while also bringing a new sense of life to Downtown Los Angeles with its award-winning restaurant WP24 Restaurant & Lounge by Wolfgang Puck and its luxury spa, The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Los Angeles.
Employment has also been impacted with the hotel's commitment to hire at minimum, 51% of its workforce from within a 5 mile radius of L.A. LIVE while L.A. LIVE overall has created more than 25,000 jobs and generated $18 million in new annual tax revenues.
The hotel has quickly become a hub of activity in Downtown Los Angeles, attracting a loyal clientele and roster of repeat visitors who visit Downtown to enjoy the L.A. LIVE district, attend social and business gatherings, visit the spa and dine at WP24. “We are proud to have set new standards for luxury in Los Angeles,” says General Manager Javier Cano,” and this is reflected in our occupancy levels and our healthy rates.”
Over the last year, The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles has established itself as a top hotel in Los Angeles and a leader in the revitalization of Downtown Los Angeles. Serving as the cornerstone of L.A. LIVE, along with sister hotel the JW Marriott Los Angeles at L.A. LIVE, The Ritz-Carlton brought luxury accommodations to Downtown Los Angeles and a front row seat to world-class destinations such as STAPLES Center, Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE, The GRAMMY Museum®and numerous nearby art, culture, dining and nightlife destinations.
“It has been a great honor for us to bring the iconic Ritz-Carlton brand to the city of Los Angeles and so quickly become ingrained in Los Angeles life,” said Javier Cano. “It is because of our dedicated employees and partners that we were able to enjoy such success within our first year and it is with great enthusiasm and anticipation that we look to the future.
The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles can take pride in the numerous awards and distinctions that were bestowed upon them in their opening year. Condé Nast Traveler acknowledged the Spa on their annual “Hot List” 2011, a list that encompasses new hotels, restaurants and spas that define luxury, innovation and style, while Esquire magazine named WP24 Restaurant & Lounge to their “Best New Restaurants, 2010” list and Angeleno included the restaurant as one of their “Top 10 New Restaurants, 2010.” The hotel also received Silver LEED Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the “Downtowners of Distinction Award, 2011” from the Los Angels Downtown News.
Since opening, The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles has served as the headquarter hotel for the 2010 ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition and 2011 NBA All-Star Weekend as well as hosted numerous artists, celebrities and athletes attending events such as the EMMY, ESPY and GRAMMY Awards in addition to NBA and NHL teams in Los Angeles for games at STAPLES Center.
On the horizon, The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles will soon serve as the headquarter hotel for the LA Film Festival, MTV Video Music Awards and the 1st Annual Los Angeles Food & Wine Festival.
