Inglewood, just south of downtown LA, has a new 179-room hotel: The Anthem, which opened today.
It was previously known as The Lum, but went through a renovation last year to become one of Hilton’s mid-tier Tapestry hotels. Rooms start around $270 (incl. tax) on Memorial Day weekend.
The area is in the middle of a transformation; it’s now home to three major sports teams, four stadiums, and will host both this year’s FIFA World Cup and the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2028 Olympics.
It’s also a 30+ min drive away from a lot of the city, which has made a weekend trip for a game or a show kind of a hassle.
Next is The Kali, part of Marriott’s upscale Autograph Collection. It’s a new build, with 300 rooms, and will open in September.
