Hotel Figueroa, an iconic DTLA boutique hotel property which reopened its doors in Spring 2018 after a multi-year renovation and restoration, is now embarking upon its next chapter with the addition of hospitality industry veteran Sydenham at its helm. A seasoned leader in the Los Angeles travel industry, Sydenham brings many decades of experience to the independently owned and beloved Hotel Figueroa.
Previously the Regional General Manager at Luxe Rodeo Drive Hotel and Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel, Adam Sydenham has also managed luxury properties in the U.S., Africa, and Russia with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and in the U.K. with Dorchester Collection, inclusive of Alain Ducasse’s two Michelin-starred restaurant, Le Meurice. Sydenham’s seamless hotel and culinary experience bring added cachet to his new role at Hotel Figueroa, which houses two distinctive culinary concepts – Breva and Veranda – alongside notable bar/cocktail venues on-premise including Rick’s and Bar Figueroa.
“The 268-room hotel is authentic to Los Angeles and has a rich history, having been built in 1926 as a YWCA and safe haven for women travelers, which I find both rare and fascinating,” says Sydenham. “In a city that embraces impermanence, Hotel Figueroa is perpetually beloved, and I am deeply enthused to join the team and continue the stewardship of its storied legacy and next chapter.”
