The historic Hotel Clark reopened on October 23, 2026 after remaining vacant for decades. The owner of the Beaux‑Arts hotel, originally built in 1914, announced the reopening as the city prepares for the upcoming Olympics and continues recent downtown revitalization efforts.
The hotel, long referred to as a "zombie building" following its closure in the 1990s, has been restored to its original Beaux‑Arts style. Its return adds another landmark to downtown Los Angeles' ongoing redevelopment.
