The Culture

Its diverse neighborhoods, eclectic eateries, arts, and architecture give DTLA a vibrant culture where there is always something to explore. One of its major hubs is the LA Live complex, which is comprised of trendy shops and restaurants, upscale hotels, a Regal Cinema with a massive 800-seat theater for movie premieres, the Grammy Museum where you can pay homage to music greats, and the Microsoft Theater which hosts the Emmy, ESPY, and American Music Awards.

Along with the connected LA Convention Center and Crypto.com Arena, LA Live will serve as a host for the upcoming 2028 Summer Olympics. Of course, you can see sports and live music year-round at Crypto.com Arena, “The House that Kobe Built”, where the Lakers, Kings, Clippers, and Sparks play home games, and which hosts over 250 events and four million guests each year.

Book enthusiasts come downtown to peruse the stacks and marvel at the gorgeous interior of the Central Library and to buy books and records at the iconic Last Bookstore. No matter your interests, every day is an adventure in the downtown area.
