The former United Artists Theatre and office tower now enjoy new life as an Ace Hotel with a beautifully rehabbed theatre, ushering in a whole new era of entertainment.
Constructed in 1906 at the then almost unheard of cost of $2 million, the hotel then added a large addition in 1911. The addition included a beautiful banquet hall with a spectacular stained-glass ceiling, now known as the Palm Court.
Thanks to a loving renovation of the Beverly Laurel Motor Hotel, one of Los Angeles’ most iconic examples of Mid-Century Modern roadside architecture is once again firing on all cylinders.
One of many motels and restaurants to spring up along San Fernando Road during the postwar boom but one of very few mid-century roadside commercial resources to have survived.
