Getting around during GRAMMY Week
- February temperatures in Downtown LA range from 39°F to 55°F at night, 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 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 during GRAMMY Week
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.
Getting around the area comes down to a few key routes. Figueroa Street runs north-south one block east of 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 a 10-minute walk and connect to Union Station and Hollywood.

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.
