Weddings & Conferences
Since Hotel Covell is a smaller, intimate hotel, there are no dedicated wedding at Bar Covell to host private functions or parties at the Side Bar. The Side Bar is accessed behind a secret bookcase, which only adds to the charm and mystique. It can accommodate up to 50 guests for birthday parties, engagement parties, work gatherings and more. It has the same laid back, casual vibe as Bar Covell. There are catering options available as well as the full menu. Large platters can be made to serve buffet style.
Another option for events is the private sun deck at Hotel Covell, which can be transformed into a rooftop event space. A full bar service can be set up to accommodate the event. The amazing views over Hollywood Boulevard make for a memorable occasion. It can host up to 75 guests with 1200 square feet of space.
Since there is not a spa located at Hotel Covell, guests will have to venture out in the area to enjoy pampering. This is not difficult since Bliss Spa is located just a short distance away on Hollywood Boulevard. At Bliss Spa guests can indulge in facials, massages, pedicures and more. Their rooftop cabana is the perfect setting to relax and receive a massage while overlooking the city. This spa features over 6000 square feet, including seven treatment rooms, lockers for men and women, a brownie buffet bar and a retail shop. The atmosphere is unlike many spas, which feature calming, Zen aromas and music. At Bliss Spa guests will enjoy some good old rhythm and blues music and a fun, upbeat atmosphere. The treatments themselves are relaxing and indulgent but there is no need to feel uptight while roaming the halls and sitting in the lounge.
Despite Hotel Covell being located in a convenient downtown setting, a golf course for the golf lover, is only a short 8 to 10 minute drive away. The Los Feliz Municipal Golf Course is a popular course amongst guests and locals alike. Some may recognize this course from the movie “Swingers”, which is part of its popularity. It is a simple 9 hole hole, par 3 course with tree lined fairways and beautiful greenery. Some of the holes offer a bit of a challenge being on a slope. The price is very affordable and the course makes for an enjoyable, entertaining round of golf while visiting downtown Los Angeles.
Plan This Vacation
Since Hotel Covell is more like an apartment complex, there is no 24 hour concierge. There is reception available from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily with a number left with guests in case of emergency. The day before arrival, guests receive a text message to confirm their stay details and ensure there are no changes. Upon arrival at Hotel Covell, guests are personally greeted by a staff member and given a personal tour of their suite and the hotel. Cars can be valet parked in the complementary hotel parking lot.
For guests use only, the private sun deck is a wonderful and relaxing place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an afternoon book. There are outdoor couches, chairs and ottomans for the utmost comfort. There are even small patio heaters should the air be a little chilly. Guests are always treated like family at Hotel Covell since it is a smaller, more intimate hotel.
