Why The Grand

Because DTLA is so spread out, visitors tend to come and go without having the opportunity to explore. That’s going to change when The Grand becomes the ideal way to pre-game before a show, see a free live performance in The Grand’s public plaza, or finish the evening with an unforgettable meal at one of our award-winning restaurants. One stop in LA’s dynamic downtown gives fans ultimate access.
