The Moxy Downtown LA is opposite the Crypto.com arena, so I ended up sharing the hotel lift with lots of fabulously dressed Cardi B fans who were going to see her perform that night. I admit to being a little jealous, but I had exciting plans of my own: based in the Moxy building is Level 8, a tardis-like space complete with eight immersive bars, restaurants and a club.

The drama starts immediately with a different art installation projected onto the walls daily as you enter. We hopped in the lift and exited into another world. Starting with cocktails at Mr Wanderlust, an intimate space of dark wooden bookshelves with an aerialist gracefully spinning above us while we enjoyed our drinks. A secret door into the main bar evoked a speakeasy-like feel, but with an emphasis on entertainment. You can immediately tell you are in for a good night.

Branching off from the bar are two inspired entrances into the restaurants of Level 8. A water feature spins open to reveal the entrance to Japanese Lucky Mizu, where a glowing fire can be pulled back to display Maison Kasai (’House of Fire’) where you can experience a teppanyaki dining experience while watching your chef prepare your meal.
