Designed by the award-winning Belzberg Architects, The Conga Room is a contemporary space that reflects the vibrant energies of Barcelona and Mexico City. In collaboration with several artists, The Conga Room is designed to pay homage to contemporary Latino culture with special additions including a digital mural and sculptures created by Artist and Film Director, Sergio Arau, and the sensual Papaya Bar designed by internationally acclaimed Cuban American Artist, Jorge Pardo. The Conga Room also boasts a breathtaking VIP area with panoramic views of the Staples Center and Nokia Plaza, as well as full broadcast and programming capabilities in collaboration with broadcast partners such as Univision, LATV, MTV Tr3s and others.
In the late hours, the Conga Room restaurant can morph into a dance club, creating a separate environment for live or DJ’d music, and on Thursdays and Fridays, after-work patrons might not be surprised to see a bolero orchestra or perhaps a well-known mariachi group, whether from Mexico City or Los Angeles. As it did in its Miracle Mile location, the Conga Room teaches regular dance lessons – from popular forms such as salsa and tango to regional steps from around the globe – as well as hosting annual dance competitions.
