Sometimes you just need a little escape — without the airport drama. If you’re anything like us, the travel itch never really goes away (even after a packed work week). That’s where the magic of a mini staycation comes in. We set out to find something cute, stylish, and close — and landed at the dreamy Moxy + AC Hotel in DTLA. Consider this your sign to treat yourself. Keep reading to learn more about our stay at the AC Hotel DTLA: The Staycation You Deserve!
Moxy + AC Hotel
When we say the AC Hotel has everything, we’re not exaggerating. We were craving a chic place to unwind, amazing food, and a little nightlife—without leaving the hotel.
The Moxy + AC Hotel is one of DTLA’s newest gems in the skyline, and plot twist: they’re actually connected! Double the vibes, double the perks. Choosing between the sleek, luxe feel of AC and the bold, playful energy of Moxy was nearly impossible… so we didn’t. You really do get the best of both worlds here—no compromises needed.

Luxury at the AC Hotel
Both hotels offer stunning stays, but we were craving something a little more elevated—literally. We checked into the AC Hotel for its sleek, upscale vibe and instantly felt like we were in our own luxe city escape. The sky lobby sits 34 floors above the LA skyline, and the moment we stepped out, we were greeted by modern design, moody lighting, and those signature AC touches. As soon as we walked into our room, the views and clean, sophisticated aesthetic had us fully in our staycation era. Total main character energy.
If you’ve got work to squeeze in during your stay, this city-view lounge makes it feel anything but a workday. Laptop open, skyline in the background, and vibes elevated.
Level 8
One of the best parts about staying at the AC Hotel + Moxy DTLA? You don’t even have to leave the building to experience some of the most iconic and trending nightlife in LA.
Level 8 is an entire rooftop playground that’s been taking over social media for all the right reasons. Think day-to-night pool parties, vibey rooftop bars, and multiple Michelin-recommended restaurants all in one place. It’s where you’ll find stunning skyline views, themed spots like disco-style lounges and speakeasy-inspired clubs, and an energy that captures LA’s magic after dark.
Whether you’re sipping cocktails at golden hour or dancing under the stars, Level 8 brings the ultimate “night out” experience without the stress of LA traffic or reservations. And the best part? As a guest of the hotel, you get full access. That’s right—rooftop glam, culinary adventures, and unforgettable nights are literally just an elevator ride away.
