INTERCONTINENTAL LOS ANGELES LAUNCHES STATE OF THE ART RENOVATED GRAND SALON BALLROOM

(This article originally appeared in the May 1, 2012 edition of the Century City News)

The InterContinental Los Angeles opened its newly renovated Grand Salon Ballroom with an event for around 500 guests last week. The contemporary space with chrome, white and charcoal accents has an extended pre-function area with built-in LED lights, and state of the art technology. Music was provided by the Infusion Experience, from 11H Entertainment, and guests were treated to chair massages and manicures from Spa InterContinental.

The official ribbon cutting was performed by Ms. Susan Bursk, President and CEO Century City Chamber of Commerce, Ms. Mari Miyoshi, Hotel Owner and President Sumitomo Realty Development USA, and Mr. Steve Choe, General Manager InterContinental Los Angeles.


On April 12th 2012, InterContinental Los Angeles launched their newly renovated event space – their Grand Salon Ballroom and Foyer. With chrome, white and charcoal accents, this elegant ballroom space is an ideal backdrop for any event with a modern and sleek look and feel. With built in LED lights, and state of the art technology, the timeless Grand Salon Ballroom is the perfect choice for any wedding, meeting or event.

The hotel was able to keep the integrity of the original structure and many of its unique features including the chandeliers from the original construction in 1988. The brass from the chandeliers has been resurfaced to sparkling chrome and the crystals were preserved and revitalized to create a breathtaking centerpiece. Being situated on the back lot of 20th Century Fox studio and keeping in line with the hotel’s rich entertainment heritage, set designers from local movie and TV studios were brought in to hand paint the woodwork with their ‘scenic art’ for a spectacular and dramatic effect.

In keeping with the hotel’s mission to sustain the environment, and to enhance the design of the Ballroom, LED lighting has been introduced into the space. The lights can reflect any color from the color spectrum allowing clients an infinite number of options for their event. The versatile Grand Salon Ballroom accommodates 400 for a reception, 300 for a seated dinner and 200 classroom style. The adjoining Grand Salon Foyer has also been extended and makes a perfect break or pre-reception area. For all catering and event queries, please contact Robert Nichols, Director of Catering, at robert.nichols@ihg.com or call310 284 6500.

Says General Manager of the InterContinental, Mr. Steve Choe, “I grew up coming to this hotel for some of the most memorable and amazing events having attended the local high school of Beverly Hills. I was always wowed by this hotel and it’s truly a dream come true and an honor to be at the helm of this great property. The staff here are special and the very best I have ever worked with. Our new Grand Salon Ballroom is a wonderful compliment to our staff in assisting our legacy of delivering these memorable and amazing experiences for the generations to come.”

This project was a great experience in working closely with our Owner and President of Sumitomo Realty Development, USA. I realize that in today’s hotel world it is not common to work daily with an owner on such a project, however I have to say it truly made the process much easier than typical renovations and the outcome exceeded our expectations. So a very special ‘thank you’ to Ms. Mari Miyoshi as this entire project would have not been possible without her support.’
