Scene
A modern, bright chain hotel with USC spirit
Owned and run by the University of Southern
California, the Radisson Los Angeles Midtown at USC shows plenty of school spirit, from the gift shop stocked with Tommy Trojan gear to the “USC” engraved elevator buttons to the artwork inspired by USC in the rooms and public areas. The vibe is relaxed and upbeat. The beige and brown lobby is welcoming and lovely, and smells of fresh-cut flowers, with islands of tan and
patterned seating, recessed lighting, and floor-to-ceiling windows; coffee and tea are available too. Other seating areas of plush neutral-toned chairs are sprinkled throughout the hotel, which offers splendid views of Los Angeles and the USC campus. McKay’s Restaurant is modern and cozy, with wood floors, a large stone fireplace, and brown leather seating.
Rosso Oro’s Pizzeria offers a 20-foot shuffleboard, flat-screen TVs (with USC TV), black
chairs, and tray ceilings in a more casual atmosphere. The hotel caters to business travelers and families.
