JW Marriott L.A. LIVE

JW Marriott L.A. LIVE anchors downtown’s sports and entertainment district with the scale planners need for large programs. With 1,001 guest rooms and suites in a modern high-rise footprint, the property keeps big teams together while staying walkable to the Convention Center, Crypto.com Arena, Microsoft Theater, and the restaurants and venues across the L.A. LIVE campus. Arrivals move smoothly from the front drive to an expansive lobby, and clear wayfinding helps attendees reach elevators, ballrooms, and breakout levels without congestion.

Guest rooms emphasize reliable rest for multi-night stays. Expect supportive beds with blackout window treatments, fast Wi-Fi, and plenty of outlets at the desk and nightstand. Many categories add mini-fridges and ample workspace so speakers, crew members, and attendees can reset between sessions. Upper-category rooms and suites provide extra seating and quiet corners that work well as day rooms for executives and talent.

Events are a core strength. Stacked meeting levels support high attendee density and fast transitions from general session to breakouts. Grand ballrooms handle plenary sessions, banquets, and award programs, while a network of midsize and smaller rooms converts quickly for trainings, speaker ready spaces, sponsor lounges, and production offices. Foyers and lobby areas run alongside the rooms for registration, brand activations, and coffee service, and service corridors keep banquet teams moving behind the scenes. In-house audiovisual support provides a single point of contact for show calls, rigging, and rentals, which reduces vendor coordination on tight turnarounds.

On-site dining keeps agendas on time. A full-service restaurant covers breakfast through dinner, a lobby lounge works for informal networking, and a market or café handles early call times and grab-and-go breaks. The banquet kitchen scales from plated dining to buffets and receptions with labeled dietary accommodations. Wellness stays accessible with a 24-hour fitness center and an outdoor pool for quick resets between blocks. Business services and package handling support exhibitor shipments and last-minute print needs.
