Gensler is adding a smaller sibling to the JW Marriott at L.A. Live

Gensler is adding a smaller sibling to the JW Marriott at L.A. Live

Gensler’s Los Angeles football stadium may be in trouble (still, not dead), but the firm is busy as ever. Their latest news is the expansion of the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton in Downtown Los Angeles, creating the second largest hotel in California.

The new 650,000 square foot tower will be directly connected to the existing hotel via a bridge across Olympic Boulevard. The angular building’s grid of varied glass will be arranged vertically, in contrast to its sibling’s horizontal orientation, and it will not bulge out the way its neighbor does.

It will feature a second floor amenity deck including a restaurant, bar, fitness center, executive lounge, and pool area.  Combined with the existing JW Marriott and the Ritz-Carlton Los Angeles, the facility will contain 1,756 rooms and over 200,000 square feet of function space.
