PB hotel design editorial

Minoru Yamasaki's gently curved, ten-storey crescent — the same architect who would later design New York's World Trade Center — gave Century City one of its most recognisable civic gestures when it opened in 1966, its scalloped balconies and white precast concrete facade projecting a kind of optimistic modernism that felt entirely native to mid-century Los Angeles. The Fairmont Century Plaza, which underwent a meticulous four-year, billion-dollar restoration completed in 2021 with Gensler overseeing the architectural work and Yabu Pushelberg handling interiors, preserves that sinuous profile while threading contemporary California warmth through every room. The entrance canopy, its underside alive with a grid of warm Edison bulbs, frames a lobby that opens directly through to the garden beyond — a transparency Yamasaki built into the original plan. Guest rooms carry the renovation's central argument: that mid-century bones and current-day comfort are not in conflict. Warm oak millwork, marble-topped occasional tables with softly rounded edges, geometric patterned carpet in tawny neutrals, and full-width sliding doors to the private balconies keep the palette close to the California light outside. The rooftop pool deck extends that register outward — white linen sun loungers, a rectangular lap pool, and fire pits arranged against a panorama that stretches toward the Santa Monica Mountains. Gracias Madre's garden-room restaurant, fitted with bentwood café chairs, terrazzo floors in looping geometric patterns, and aged mirror ceilings arching into barrel vaults, gives the property its most exuberant interior moment.

"We had such a wonderful experience at Fairmont Century Plaza! From the moment we made our booking until the day we checked out, Billie was incredibly helpful and always available to assist us with anything we needed. As we were there to celebrate my Birthday she arranged our room for my birthday with complimentary cheesecake and special note, her warm hospitality and attention to detail truly made our stay even more enjoyable. We would also like to thank Janneth and Edras for taking such great care of us during dinner. As vegetarians, we really appreciated how patient and thoughtful they were in helping us choose dishes that suited us and they made sure we had a fantastic dining experience. A big thank you to the entire team for making our stay so comfortable and memorable. We look forward to visiting again"
