The LINE LA Hotel Shuttles

A trendy west downtown stay on the corner of Wilshire and Normandie, The LINE Los Angeles offers an especially good time for urban explorers in search of instant access to the Metro Purple Line’s underground subway station. Variously themed rooms range from mod-industrial themes that include gray carpeting and cement walls paired with a mini-warehouse dining room, to efficiencies going with floor-to-ceiling views paired with low-to-the-ground furniture. Complimentary Wi-Fi and a greenhouse lounge make work especially fun, while an outdoor pool and trendy cafe/restaurant scene offer easy networking opportunities. Get through each corner with absolute freedom by skipping the subway for a private rental instead, choosing between small sedans for gas-saving excursions across the coastline or big SUVs to keep at least five people comfy. Meet-and-greet services add to the luxury through the convenience of drop offs, something that goes a long way in California’s infamous self-created traffic jams, whether it be a taxi driver who knows the unknown back streets or a local personal driver who can go with the flow.

Surrounded by dozens of trendy Korean restaurants and a few small farmer’s markets, the hotel’s closest landmarks are especially aimed at foodies. Choose from various Korean restaurants that include the vibrant tofu soups at BCD Tofu House as well as all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue at Bulgogi Hut, not to mention 24-hour spicy recipes at Shin Jung Restaurant and long-time recipes at local staple Sun Nong Dan. Beyond filling meals are a wide variety of evening entertainment such as The Walter’s historic venue known for its Art Deco space and revolving big-name acts and various city landmarks within Griffith Park. End the afternoon in this park, starting with a long walk across cliffside trails before moving onto abandoned walks through the Old Los Angeles Zoo, finally ending the evening with a thoughtful sunset conversation at the top of Captain’s Roost.
