ALIS (Americas Lodging Investment Summit) runs January 25-27, 2027 at JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, 900 West Olympic Boulevard. Every hotel below is within a 10-minute walk of the front door, chosen for proximity first, then star rating. Because delegates are hotel professionals who often book inside negotiated blocks or loyalty programs, open-market inventory near the venue tightens earlier than the attendance figure implies.
How proximity to ALIS was measured
Walking distance from 900 West Olympic Boulevard determined the order. Where two hotels share the same address or distance band, the higher star rating takes precedence. Guest scores from verified booking data served as the final differentiator.
Every property on this list is a named, bookable hotel: no short-term rentals, no hostel beds. Proximity breaks down into three groups:
- JW Marriott and The Ritz-Carlton: share the same tower at 900 West Olympic, so delegates staying at either property step directly into the conference without crossing a street.
- Residence Inn and Courtyard: at 901 West Olympic, across the driveway, a 1-minute walk.
- Hotel Figueroa: on South Figueroa Street, adds a 3-minute walk south and is the only independent option in the group.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ: Is the JW Marriott LA LIVE itself bookable for ALIS attendees?＋
Yes. The JW Marriott at 900 West Olympic Boulevard is the conference venue and typically offers a negotiated block rate for registered delegates. Check the official ALIS conference site for the block link and cut-off date, as open-market rates at the same property are usually higher.
FAQ: How far is the nearest Metro station from the LA LIVE hotels?＋
Pico Station, served by the A Line (Blue) and E Line (Expo), is roughly a 7-minute walk north on Figueroa Street from the LA LIVE campus. From LAX, the FlyAway bus runs directly to LA LIVE and is often faster than rideshare during peak hours.
FAQ: What is the weather like in downtown Los Angeles during ALIS in late January?＋
Expect daytime highs around 65°F to 68°F and overnight lows between 48°F and 55°F. Rain is possible in January. The walks between these hotels and the JW Marriott are short enough that weather is a minor factor, but a light jacket covers evening events.
FAQ: Are there mid-range options within walking distance of the venue?＋
The Residence Inn and Courtyard at 901 West Olympic Boulevard are both 3-star properties on the LA LIVE campus, a 1-minute walk from the JW Marriott entrance. Both offer mid-range pricing relative to the 5-star options in the same building cluster.
FAQ: Why do open-market rooms near ALIS sell out faster than the headcount suggests?＋
ALIS draws hotel industry executives who frequently book inside negotiated conference blocks or use loyalty points at their own brand's property. That behavior concentrates demand in a small number of properties and leaves fewer open-market rooms available than a 3,000-person event might imply.
FAQ: Is parking available at the LA LIVE hotels for ALIS attendees?＋
The Ritz-Carlton, Residence Inn, and Courtyard all offer on-site parking, but LA LIVE applies event-rate pricing during conference days. If you plan to drive, confirm the daily parking rate with the hotel directly before arrival.
