AEG Drops Plans for DTLA Hotel

Anschutz Entertainment Group announced Tuesday that they are dropping plans for a 755-room high-rise Marriott hotel near Olympic Boulevard, the Los Angeles Times reports. The project came to a halt because of the city’s plans to modernize the convention center and include a 1,000-room on-site hotel, a project that would pose competition to AEG’s entertainment complex L.A. Live.
