2024 Thanksgiving Downtown LA Trip
3 nights, 3 hotels, and our favorite hotel is... ???
Day 1 - Intercontinental Hotel
Day 2 - Proper Hotel
Day 3 - Hotel Perla
The total bill for the InterContinental came out to $210 including taxes, tips, and resort fee. We even got free corner room upgrade, late 4pm checkout, and free breakfast with a view. We got $50 credit from AmEx Platinum and 25% off Thanksgiving deal for a hotel that normally would have cost $300/night.
The 2nd hotel (Hotel Proper) was basically free. It was originally $300/night but with the annual $200 AmEx Platinum hotel credit and $100 experience credit, it was basically free.
Our favorite hotel, Hotel Perla, cost around $280 including taxes and resort fee. It was the most expensive of all three hotels, but they gave us free upgraded room with a bath tub and city view, $35 dinner credit to their famous hotel restaurant, free continental breakfast, and late 2pm checkout from using my AmEx Platinum card.
Our Favorite Hotel…
Best and the most comfortable bed: Intercontinental
Best hotel with a view: Intercontinental
Best Location: Perla
Best Interior Design: Perla
Largest room space: Intercontinental
Best soap, body wash, shampoo, lotion: Proper
Best staff: Intercontinental
Best food: Perla
Best rooftop: Proper
Best Bang for the Buck: Proper. It was because of the $200 AmEx hotel credit and the $100 experience credit making this hotel basically free.
Best Instagramable hotel: Perla
The cheapest dinner: Intercontinental. But that was because we didn't want to spend $250 for their Thanksgiving 5 course meal.
Best hotel if you just want to get a good night sleep: Intercontinental. I think we got the whole floor to ourselves plus they gave us the corner unit all the way at the end.
Our favorite hotel is … Hotel Perla for its unique interior design, central location, and Instagramable mouthwatering dishes.
