Haute Hotel: The Ritz-Carlton Residences at LA LIVE

Not bad. We haven’t even mentioned the 224 apartments, however, which range in size from a one-bedroom at 960 – 1,640 square feet to a single story penthouse on the Ritz’s 51st floor at 3,880 – 5,860 square feet.

The residences, which offer amazing views of LA from the San Gabriel Mountains to the Hollywood Hills, are all unique in style but feature top-of-the-line amenities like Snaidero Italian cabinets, granite or Ceasarstone counter tops, Gaggenau appliances and a Bosch clothes washer/dryer.

The pot is even sweeter, given that homeowners receive special pricing at many of LA LIVE’s establishments, including The Ritz-Carlton Spa®,  WP24, The Mixing Room, ION, LA Market, TraderVic’s, and the Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill.

Also included is access to the Staples Center’s luxury suite with VIP entry, access to the San Manuel Club and a one-year membership to the Grammy Museum.

The Residences, which were developed by AEG and designed by Gensler, are also beloved by LA sports fans, who more than enjoy the new $1 million private champions lounge. The redesign was introduced this year, as was a specially commissioned Swarovski crystal championship ring sculpture to fete Stanley Cup winners the LA Kings.

Bottom line: if you’re one of the few privileged enough to stay at the Residences, count yourself lucky.
