USA: The Burgeon Hotel Group (BHG) will launch the 179-room E-Central Hotel on 1020 S. Figueroa Street this summer, and is now taking reservations.
E-Central Hotel, a new lifestyle brand from BHG, will be housed in the former Luxe City Center Hotel.
The property includes the Nixo Patio Lounge, which during the daytime will serve grab and go items as well as coffee. At dusk, the venue will transform into a full-service lounge. The evening menu will expand to feature shareable foods, burgers, craft cocktails, and wood stone pizzas.
Additional new facilities include a 1,000 square-foot fitness centre, adjoined by a yoga studio. Also, there is 8,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space.
Patrick Nee, general manager of E-Central Hotel, said: “With an incredible location in the heart of downtown Los Angeles and infused with a creative spirit of discovery and design, we’re confident E-Central Hotel will emerge as the new go-to destination for locals and visitors alike seeking sophisticated surroundings and superior service. As the travel industry begins a long-awaited recovery, our goal is to provide something unique while embracing the vibrant culture and community surrounding our property.”
Xintao Ye, director of design at Burgeon Hotel Group, said: “Throughout the property, guests will be able to pinpoint similar elements found in the E-Central logo. Influenced by the artistic Golden Ratio, items have been placed along intersecting lines to create the most aesthetically pleasing design. Our vision was to merge cultures and create an authentic experience, while becoming the premier destination in the centre of it all.”
Burgeon Hotel Group is located in Southern California and provides hotel and asset management, business development, acquisition and design services to hotel owners and investors.
