In June 2009, when the threat of demolition still loomed large, the National Trust for Historic Preservation named the Century Plaza Hotel & Spa (Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel and the Spa at Equinox) in Los Angeles one of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places.
Last week, the developer who owns the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles revealed plans to renovate the hotel and build condominium and offices behind the 1966 structure. Michael Rosenfeld of Next Century Associates had initially planned to tear down the 800,000-square-foot hotel, designed by Minoru Yamasaki, who later designed the World Trade Center in New York City.
