New Hotel Slated for SoFi Stadium Neighborhood
Construction is Underway on $300-Million Hotel
Construction is underway on a $300-million hotel next to SoFi Stadium, the latest addition to Rams owner Stan Kroenke’s sprawling mixed-use development on the former site of the Hollywood Park horse racing venue in Inglewood.
Hotel Details
The 300-room Kali Hotel is the only hotel in Kroenke’s master plan for Hollywood Park. The hotel will be erected by real estate developer Kali P. Chaudhuri, whose KPC Development Co. owns and builds commercial properties in California and India. It will be the company’s first hotel in the United States. The hotel will rise 12 stories on Stadium Drive, across a man-made lake from the 70,000-seat stadium, which is home to L.A.’s two NFL teams, the Rams and Chargers.
Hotel Amenities
The hotel will have three restaurants, a pool and yoga deck, spa, fitness center, ballroom, and spaces for meetings. The Kali Hotel will also feature 34 suites, which are intended to appeal to sports and entertainment VIPs. These suites will be as large as 1,200 square feet, with some having oversized features such as shower heads mounted 11 feet high.
Target Market
"It would be an ideal spot for any visiting basketball teams to the Clippers’ arena, and obviously for SoFi Stadium," said John Petty, head of development and construction for KPC. "We do anticipate sports teams staying at the hotel."
Expected Completion
The hotel is expected to be completed in time for the 2026 World Cup at SoFi Stadium. The hotel’s grounds will also feature a well-known feature from the original racetrack, the life-size bronze sculpture of jockey Bill Shoemaker riding famed racehorse Swaps at full gallop.
Conference and Events
The hotel will have over 12,000 square feet of meeting and event space, making it an ideal location for conferences, conventions, and other events.
Future Plans
KPC is already planning to build more hotels, with Chaudhuri stating, "Although this will be our first hotel, we’re already planning to build many more."
Conclusion
The Kali Hotel, Autograph Collection, will offer a unique experience for visitors, with stunning views of the stadium and surrounding area. The hotel’s location, combined with its luxurious amenities, makes it an ideal choice for sports teams and entertainment VIPs.
