Adjacent to Beverly Hills and minutes
from Rodeo Drive, The Century Plaza Hotel & Spa is Los Angeles's
most fashionable address. This AAA Four Diamond Hotel has hosted
presidents, celebrities and dignitaries. One of the hotel's most
notable attributes is the new 35,000-square- foot, Asian influenced
resort spa. Featuring 27 indoor treatment rooms and four outdoor
treatment cabanas, the Spa Mystique offers guests a unique environment
in which to relax and renew.
Set amidst seven acres of beautifully landscaped
grounds, with rare tropical plants and reflecting pools, the hotel's
accommodations feature private balconies with sweeping views of
the Los Angeles skyline. In early 2001, the hotel unveiled renovated
grounds, including an all-new outdoor function space, a swimming
pool and lounge area. A brand-new signature restaurant, Breeze,
opened and offers indoor and outdoor seating, a seafood bar and
two private dining rooms.
