About the place

The hotel opened in May 1973 as the Crown Center Hotel, built into Signboard Hill, a limestone-and-shale outcropping whose excavation exposed the bluff that now backs its lobby. ref

Its interior garden and waterfall descend at a 45-degree angle from a mezzanine balcony, dropping 12 feet into a pool below; the display is about five stories high and 100 feet wide, with water recirculated at 250 gallons a minute. ref

The hotel has 722 guest rooms across 14 floors, totaling about 316,000 square feet. ref

The hotel sits at One East Pershing Road, within Hallmark's 85-acre Crown Center complex. ref

PGAV Architects, which led a later renovation, said the project touched all 722 rooms across seven distinct room types and included accessibility-focused conversions, with 85 shower conversions concentrated on the hotel's top two floors. ref

PGAV said the renovated rooms' aesthetics had gone unchanged for about 20 years before the project, and the firm worked with SA Dezign Studio on the redesign. ref
