United Artists' flagship theater tells the history of Broadway street
Founded in Seattle in 1999, Ace Hotel is a hotel chain headquartered in Los Angeles, California, with hotels operating primarily in the United States. Here Ace Hotel Downtown Los Angeles is a 243 ft (74 m) 13-story high-rise hotel and theater building on Broadway ST, formerly known as the United Artists Building and later known as the Texasco Building. It was the tallest building in the city for a year since it was completed in 1927. The style is Gothic with the motif of Segovia Cathedral in Segovia, Spain. Let's stop by the hotel if you take a walk along Broadway to experience the atmosphere of a historic movie company in Los Angeles.
The United Artists Theater, designed by Walker & Eisen architect C. Howard Crane, occupies the three floors of a 13-story building with a 1,600-seat auditorium and had played a role as a premier house.
The theater was later used as a church under the name "Los Angeles University Cathedral" by Rev. Gene Scott and later his widow Melissa Scott. The building was then sold and completely restored and was attached to the Ace Hotel in 2014 and is also a Los Angeles historical and cultural property.
