A new 179-room hotel called The Anthem Hotel has opened in Inglewood, California, part of Hilton's Tapestry Collection. The hotel is located near prominent sports and entertainment venues in the LA area, including SoFi Stadium, Kia Forum, and YouTube Theater, and is hoping to attract visitors coming for major events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup, 2027 Super Bowl, and 2028 Olympics.

Why it matters

The opening of The Anthem Hotel is part of a broader trend of hotel development and renovations in the Los Angeles area as the region prepares to host a number of high-profile sporting and entertainment events over the next few years. While international tourism to LA has declined recently, the city is counting on these upcoming events to boost its hospitality industry.

The details

The Anthem Hotel was previously known as the Airport Park View Hotel and Lüm Hotel, undergoing renovations and rebranding under new ownership. The current owners, Chartres Lodging Group, purchased the property in 2024 for $57.2 million and have transformed it into a Hilton Tapestry Collection hotel with amenities like a fitness center, pool, bars, and event spaces.

  • The Anthem Hotel officially opened its doors last week.
  • In 2017, real estate developer Izek Shomof bought the hotel, then called Airport Park View Hotel, for $18 million.
  • Under Shomof's ownership, the hotel underwent renovations and was rebranded as Lüm Hotel in 2022.
  • Chartres Lodging Group purchased the property from Shomof in 2024 for $57.2 million.

What they’re saying

“It's a hotel that can shift effortlessly from the excitement of a championship game to the buzz of a sold-out concert or the flow of a work trip that ends courtside. We wanted to create a space that feels both vibrant and grounded, comfortable, practical and ready to reflect the energy of whoever walks through its doors.”

The opening of The Anthem Hotel is a sign of the hospitality industry's efforts to capitalize on the influx of visitors expected in the Los Angeles area over the next few years.
