Built in 1926 and recently renovated, The MacArthur is a cultural hub in the heart of Los Angeles where the arts, entertainment, media, music, food and design intersect.
The MacArthur seamlessly blends history, creativity, and community, offering bespoke workspaces that foster collaboration and inspiration. Its diverse venue spaces have hosted some of Los Angeles’ most memorable events, from intimate gatherings and elegant weddings to large-scale celebrations. Special guests can enjoy beautifully appointed guest rooms with unobstructed views of Downtown, Hollywood, and beyond. Standing on the northwest corner of MacArthur Park for nearly a century, The MacArthur’s storied past includes its origins as a grand temple for the Elks, its transformation into the Park Plaza Hotel—home to the legendary punk rock nightclub Power Tools, fashion and art events, and countless film and music video shoots. Its neo-Gothic architecture, with an immaculate stone facade adorned with Assyrian friezes and military motifs, was designed as a tribute to fallen World War I soldiers, giving it purpose even before stepping inside. Today, with its meticulously restored interiors, dynamic programming, and diverse tenant curation, The MacArthur remains one of Los Angeles’ most distinctive and celebrated destinations.


Built as Elks Lodge No. 99, The MacArthur debuted as the crown jewel of Westlake Park, hosting prominent dignitaries and celebrities.

The Baur family transformed the building into Park Plaza, a spectacular public events venue and a favorite filming location for Hollywood.

Park Plaza became a hotspot for LA’s arts and music scenes, attracting icons like David Bowie, Andy Warhol, and the Beastie Boys.
