Stay in the heart of Los Angeles
A peaceful escape amidst the urban hustle and bustle.
Nestled in the heart of the Los Angeles Downtown Arts District, kodō hotel is an urban oasis that marries historic charm with modern elegance. Located within a century-old firehouse, originally known as Engine Company 17, this masterfully designed space by architect Matthew Royce, in collaboration with Gry Space, serves as a sanctuary for spiritual and sensory renewal. The hotel name “kodō,” which means “heartbeat” in Japanese, encapsulates the essence of vitality and cultural fusion.
Once inside, the hotel reveals itself as a haven where design, nature, and hospitality converge to create a unique spiritual connection for its guests.
The kodō experience extends to impeccable service, luxurious rooms, and cutting-edge amenities, making it an integral heartbeat in L.A.’s vibrant Arts District.
A place to find balance in a bustling city.
