Which Hyatt for Downtown Los Angeles?
Is there still a Hyatt in DTLA? I searched up Hyatt Century Plaza, but I don't think that hotel exist anymore.

The Hyatt Place in Pasadena + Gold Line Train will get you to DTLA in about an hour and a half, about the same as the HP Glendale + buses. Driving, either is 30 minutes (non-commute); much more during commute. Personally, I'd stay at LAX and take the FlyAway bus, but I'm relegated to public transit.

Yes, the timing is about the same, but it's a non-stop, "big", nice bus with aircon and you always get a seat. It runs from terminal 1 at LAX, just a block and a half from the hotel. The Pasadena metro is, I think, longer walk to an overcrowded, frequently stopping train where you may be standing, jammed in. Hence, my preference. But the idea of going with non-Hyatt hotel is really the answer.

I wouldn't count on it, as construction has apparently completely stalled. More discussion in main property thread: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hyat...ed-2021-a.html
