Arya Group, known for building super mansions across Los Angeles, is placing a major hospitality bet on the L.A. Clippers.
The West L.A.-based development firm, led by Ardie Tavangarian, has filed plans to build a 15-story, 174-room hotel at 3820 West 102nd Street, next to a future Clippers arena, Urbanize Los Angeles reported. It would bulldoze an 18,000-square-foot industrial building.
The 200-foot Arya Hotel, among the tallest proposed buildings in Inglewood, would stand next to the Clippers’ Intuit Dome, and near Hollywood Park and SoFi Stadium, home of the L.A. Rams and Chargers NFL teams.
Pending approvals, Arya could break ground in April and complete the hotel by June 2026.
Plans call for a 310,000-square-foot hotel with 174 rooms, 3,300 square feet of offices, 6,500 square feet of restaurant space, 1,300 square feet of lounges, a 4,000-square-foot private club and a 4,000-square-foot spa.
The hotel would include 33,000 square feet of outdoor terraces, including a roof deck and swimming pool. A basement and above-ground parking garage would serve 269 cars.
The white hotel, designed by Orange-based AO, features an undulating stack of landscaped balconies between floor-to-ceiling windows, according to a rendering. The backside appears to wield a large mural or digital display.
The hotel is billed as a “boutique hotel and wellness center in a sports and entertainment destination,” according to AO’s website, which says the hotel will have rooms for 300 keys and a 10,000-square-foot ballroom.
The project is among several hotel developments in the works around Intuit Dome and SoFi Stadium, according to Urbanize.
They include a 300-room hotel planned within the Hollywood Park site, a 13-story inn proposed at 4200 West Century Boulevard and a Fairfield Inn slated to break ground this year at 3640 Century Boulevard.
Tavangarian, a native of Iran, has developed dozens of ultra high-end projects, including mansions, public works developments and resorts. They include a Bel-Air mansion that sold in 2019 for $75 million and a Pacific Palisades mansion that sold two years later for $83 million.
