As the name says, this room faces the Downtown LA skyline. It sits in the historic 1924 Commercial Exchange Building at 416 W 8th Street, so the outlook is a city one rather than a beach or garden view.

The private bathroom has a rainfall showerhead, designer toiletries, bathrobes, slippers, a hair dryer and towels. A grab bar is fitted, and the room also has wheelchair-width doorways.
Rates carry a mandatory $28 per day facility fee. It covers priority access to the Broken Shaker rooftop bar, 24/7 gym access, rooftop pool access, complimentary Wi-Fi, two water bottles at check-in and a $10 food and beverage credit at any outlet.
With one king bed and space for two, it is best for couples or solo guests. The room has a desk and laptop workspace, a safe, daily housekeeping and an iron and board, which helps on longer stays.

There is a desk and laptop workspace, free Wi-Fi, a TV with cable channels, an iPod and MP3 dock, a phone with free local calls and a laptop-compatible safe. Blackout drapes and climate control help with sleep.
The hotel has four outlets. Broken Shaker is the rooftop cocktail bar on the pool deck, a James Beard Award finalist. The Exchange is the restaurant, Rudolph's Bar and Tea is the lobby bar, and The Exchange Coffee Co. serves coffee and light bites in the morning. Opening hours vary by outlet and season.
Hotel guests can use the rooftop pool, which has 360-degree city views and sits on the same deck as Broken Shaker. It is open daily from 10 AM to 7 PM, loungers are first-come, first-served, and towels are provided. Pool access is part of the facility fee.
The hotel is in the middle of Downtown LA. L.A. Live is about 0.5 miles away, Crypto.com Arena about 0.6 miles, and the Orpheum Theatre about a 4-minute walk. The 7th St/Metro Center station is roughly a 6-minute walk. The beaches at Santa Monica and Venice are around 15 miles west, so plan on a drive or a transit connection.
