The cultural and architectural marvel has been completely reimagined as an iconic new collection of Southern California’s most luxurious residences, hotel, retail and upscale entertainment set on 6.4 acres in the heart of Los Angeles. The glamorous new $2.5 billion home of Angelenos and guests from around the world reflects an ongoing renaissance of Century City, tracking all the way back to its days as the original back lot of Hollywood’s 20th Century Fox Studios. Introducing two 44-storey glass towers with estate residences designed by internationally acclaimed Pei Cobb Freed, the fully renovated Century Plaza will feature a flagship five-star 400-room Fairmont Hotel with an unparalleled collection of 63 exclusive Fairmont-branded residences, as well as over 100,000 square feet of curated retail experiences. Designed by venerated architect Minoru Yamasaki, best known for designing the original World Trade Center in New York City, the 19- story Century Plaza Hotel first opened its doors in 1966 and soon became known as the “World’s Most Beautiful Hotel.” The hotel was a mid-century masterpiece that was well known as a second home to Hollywood’s brightest stars, including Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Muhammad Ali, Lucille Ball, Bob Hope and dozens more. The Century Plaza Hotel enjoyed decades in the spotlight playing host to society weddings, welcoming heads of state and feting stars.
