LA Prime at The Westin Bonaventure Hotel

The Scene
With sweeping views of the city, Downtown L.A.'s classic hotel dining and drinking destination is where you're head is sure to spin before your first drink. Old-school chic reigns supreme at this revolving dimly lit lounge. Once per hour, patrons are treated to a 360-degree view of downtown as smooth sounds emanate from the speakers. From the spicy pretzel mix to the Miro-inspired lighting fixtures, the BonaVista is a living testament to the more subdued side of the 80s. A steady stream of easily amused locals and hotel guests revel in the kitsch and house-special drinks, which come in ceramic souvenir glasses shaped like a movie camera, the state of California, or even the hotel itself. If you don't like the glass your drink is in, simply request another. Hooray for Hollywood!
