As a fan of mid-century modern architecture, I do like the Century Plaza hotel. I actually stayed there when I was in LA last year and found it to be a nice place to stay. I could relatively easily hop on the Santa Monica or Olympic buses to travel to the coast, WeHo, downtown, etc... To me, the two proposed towers, while not necessarily bad, don't represent anything of unique architectural value. But I'm still always in favor of more density, particularly in an area where a subway station is going to be built. So I must say I do very much like the backside placement of the two glass high-rises at either end of the Century Plaza. From Avenue of the Stars, they sort of frame the building, providing a somewhat cool juxtaposition of classic mid-century modern with current modern glassy.
