Fairmont Century Plaza

Why it's in the collection

Because the Century City landmark of 1966 came back in 2021 from a $2.5 billion redevelopment with Forbes Four-Star for the hotel and a Five-Star rating for its spa – the spa's, not the hotel's – and we list it at exactly the tier it holds.

• Forbes Four-Star 2026 for the hotel, listed here as exactly that; the spa holds a Forbes Five-Star rating of its own – the rating is the spa's, not the hotel's. A Virtuoso hotel.
• Since 1966 at 2025 Avenue of the Stars – presidential visits, awards ceremonies and performances by musical legends – and reopened in 2021 at the center of a $2.5 billion redevelopment.
• 400 rooms and suites, 85 of them suites, each with a private balcony; Fairmont Gold adds a private arrival, its own lounge, breakfast and evening canapés.
• Lumière, the modern American brasserie, and The Bar; a rooftop pool over Century City, minutes from Beverly Hills.
