Getting around during GRAMMY Week

  • February lows in Downtown LA average about 50°F and highs about 68°F, so pack accordingly: - Bring a coat for evening walks between the venue and your hotel - Layers work best, as daytime temperatures can climb noticeably - A compact, packable jacket is ideal if you're traveling light
  • The Metro A Line and E Line stop at Pico Station, roughly a 6-minute walk from Crypto.com Arena, giving you a car-free option for daytime events.
  • Rideshare pickup zones around the arena get congested on event nights. It's easier from a hotel on Figueroa Street: you can walk out and be at the door in under 3 minutes.
  • Hotels inside the LA LIVE complex are a short walk from the arena.

What to expect from the South Park neighborhood during GRAMMY Week

South Park is the Downtown neighborhood around Crypto.com Arena, anchored by the LA LIVE entertainment complex on Olympic Boulevard.

Figueroa Street runs north-south along the arena and connects most of the hotels on this list. Walking north from the AC Hotel reaches the arena's main entrance in about 2 minutes. Olympic Boulevard runs east-west and feeds directly into the LA LIVE plaza, where the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton share a building above the complex.

Parking is expensive during event weeks. The LA LIVE garage on Olympic is the easiest option if you drive in, but rates climb on busy nights. For transit, the Metro A Line and E Line at Pico Station are about a 6-minute walk from the arena. The A Line reaches Union Station, and a transfer to the B Line at 7th Street/Metro Center reaches Hollywood.
