Cecil Hotel Could Receive Historical Designation

Placeholder

The Cecil Hotel at 640 South Main St in DTLA may soon be in line for a special designation.

The LA Cultural Heritage Commission voted unanimously Oct. 20 to consider bestowing Historic-Cultural Monument status on the more than 90-year-old hotel.

New York's Simon Baron Development plans to spend about $100M to do a reno of the hotel, now known as Stay on Main.

It will include 301 micro-apartments and a boutique hotel.

Simon Baron applied for the historic designation, the LA Downtown News reports. The firm has a 99-year ground lease on the property signed with the building's owner, 248 Haynes Hotel Associates.

The building features a Beaux Arts exterior and was designed by architect Loy Lester Smith.

A final vote on the hotel could take place in December. [LADN]
