Getting around during GRAMMY Week

  • February temperatures in Downtown LA range from 39°F to 55°F at night, so a coat is worth packing even for a short walk.
  • The Metro A Line and E Line stop at Pico Station, roughly a 10-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. Hotels on Figueroa Street have a slight edge because you can walk out and be at the door in under 3 minutes.
  • GRAMMY Week galas often run at LA LIVE venues directly adjacent to the arena. Staying at a hotel inside the LA LIVE complex means you cross a plaza rather than a street.

What to expect from the South Park neighborhood in February

South Park is the grid of blocks immediately south and west of Crypto.com Arena, anchored by the LA LIVE entertainment complex on Olympic Boulevard. During GRAMMY Week, the Recording Academy and major labels take over hotel ballrooms and rooftop spaces throughout the neighborhood, so foot traffic between venues is constant from Monday through Sunday. Figueroa Street runs north-south one block east of the arena and connects most of the hotels on this list. Walking north on Figueroa from the AC Hotel puts you at 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 in the neighborhood is expensive during event weeks. If you drive in, the LA LIVE garage on Olympic is the easiest option, but rates climb on busy nights. The Metro B Line at 7th Street/Metro Center is a 12-minute walk and connects to Union Station and Hollywood.

Do I need a car to get around during GRAMMY Week?

You can manage the week without a car if you stay in the South Park neighborhood. The arena, LA LIVE venues, and most official GRAMMY Week events are within a 5-minute walk of the hotels on this list. The Metro A and E Lines at Pico Station connect you to the broader city in about 10 minutes on foot.

What is the difference between the Ritz-Carlton and the JW Marriott at LA LIVE?

The Ritz-Carlton occupies the upper floors with 5-star service and premium pricing. The JW Marriott covers the lower floors at a 4-star tier with a slightly lower rate and a 8.9 guest score.

Why should I book a suite or extended-stay room for GRAMMY Week?

GRAMMY Week runs Sunday through Sunday, with galas, label showcases, and Recording Academy events spread across the full week. A suite with a kitchenette, like those at the Residence Inn by Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, lets you keep breakfast and late-night costs down across seven nights rather than paying restaurant prices every meal.

How far in advance should I book a hotel for GRAMMY Week 2027?

The February 7, 2027 ceremony date is confirmed. South Park hotels fill quickly once the Recording Academy announces the host city, and the LA LIVE properties in particular sell out for the full week. Booking as soon as the date is public gives you the widest choice of room types and rates.

Is Hotel Figueroa a good choice for GRAMMY Week even though it is slightly farther away?

At 0.26 miles and a 5-minute walk, Hotel Figueroa is the farthest hotel on this list but still well within easy walking distance. Its rooftop pool and bar make it a social hub during industry weeks, and the 9.2 guest score is the second highest on the list. If atmosphere matters as much as proximity, it is a strong pick.
