Hotel Clark, a 348 room lifestyle hotel in a historic building in Downtown Los Angeles, has soft opened and is now taking guests, according to a September 29, 2026 announcement from the hotel. Its signature restaurant, Votana, is in a first look phase ahead of a grand opening party on October 15.
If you are comparing places to stay near the Convention Center, Crypto.com Arena or the historic core of Downtown, Hotel Clark is a new option to add to your list. Our guide to where to stay in Los Angeles covers how Downtown compares with other parts of the city.
- Hotel: Hotel Clark, 426 S Hill Street, Downtown Los Angeles.
- Status: soft opened and taking reservations.
- Rooms: 348.
- Restaurant: Votana, grand opening party October 15, 2026.
- Management: OTH Hotels Resorts.
Hotel Clark Soft Opens Downtown
The announcement describes Hotel Clark as a design forward lifestyle hotel that brings new life to one of the city’s most storied buildings. The hotel is named after Eli P. Clark, an early Los Angeles developer, and the release frames the opening as the return of a historic property, reimagined as a new anchor for Downtown.
A soft opening means the hotel is welcoming guests before every part of the property is fully running. The release says Votana is still in its first look phase, and other parts of the food and drink program are described as growing. If you book in the next few weeks, expect some services to still be settling in, and check with the hotel about anything that matters to your stay.
The hotel is managed by OTH Hotels Resorts, a management firm founded in 2019 in Williamsburg, Virginia, which named a new executive leadership team with the opening. Adrienne Craig, who previously led The Aster in Hollywood, is the general manager.
Rooms, Pool and Meeting Space
According to the release, the 348 room hotel has more than 11,000 square feet of meeting and event space, a second floor pool deck, on site parking and several dining concepts. The Hotel Clark website lists the street address as 426 S Hill Street and names two dining venues, Votana and Clubhouse, along with a co-working area and shared lounge spaces.
The release and website do not list nightly rates, parking charges or any resort or amenity fee, so compare the total price for your dates, including taxes and parking, before you book. If you are driving in, parking charges can change the math on a Downtown stay.
Votana Restaurant Opens October 15
Votana is led by Executive Chef Gio Koletty, whose past roles include The Peninsula Beverly Hills and Hotel Casa del Mar, according to the release. The menu pairs California’s seasonal produce with the coastal cuisines of Greece, Italy, Spain and Southern France, alongside a wine list and a craft cocktail program.
The restaurant’s official grand opening party is set for October 15. If dinner at Votana is part of the reason you are booking, plan your stay for after that date or check with the hotel about hours and reservations during the first look phase.
Planning a Downtown LA Stay
The release places Hotel Clark near the Los Angeles Convention Center and Crypto.com Arena, with walkable access to Downtown’s cultural districts. That makes it a practical base for conventions, concerts and games, and for visitors who want to explore Downtown on foot.

As a newly opened hotel, Hotel Clark has little guest feedback so far. Read recent reviews as they appear, confirm check in times and parking directly with the hotel, and look at a map before you book to check walking distances to the venues you plan to visit. The hotel’s phone number on its website is 213 559 4600.
