Oasis Downtown LA
What an amazing hotel in the heart of downtown LA. I can’t say enough good things about the gracious staff and beautiful art deco building. I am now a huge Proper fan. The rooftop bar and restaurant were delicious and a needed getaway from daily work.

Great trip, staff were very on ball as our flight was delayed first by 12+ hrs and the staff adjusted our booking based on an email but they also rolled two reservations together so we didn’t need to change rooms part way.
For me both those are signs of a special hotel!!

Great view from my room, quiet room was able to conduct work Zoom meetings. Room service was excellent- fast, delicious. Food in general was cooked to perfection. Roof top is a lovely place to eat a delicious meal. All the staff were extremely professional and made sure my stay was very pleasant. Specially drinks a huge plus. 2 minute walk to Belasco where I went to an event.
