Los Angeles is lining up a strong summer for meetings and incentives, with a steady stream of concerts, festivals and major sporting events planners can easily weave into their programs.
From the return of Netflix Is a Joke Fest to tour stops from Ariana Grande, Rüfüs Du Sol and BTS—plus the global spotlight of the 2026 FIFA World Cup—Los Angeles gives planners plenty to work with. It’s the kind of built-in programming that can boost attendance and give attendees a reason to stay a little longer.
Just in time for all the excitement, the Anthem Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton debuted February 2026 as the first lifestyle hotel in the Stadium District, the city’s new entertainment and sports hub.
With 179 newly renovated rooms and suites, The Anthem’s unique proximity to the action provides guests with a front-row seat to LA’s iconic culture and events just steps from Intuit Dome, SoFi Stadium, Kia Forum and YouTube Theater.
Tom’s Watch Bar oversees The Anthem’s full food and beverage program, bringing its signature “Ultimate Sports Watching Experience” to the hotel’s social and dining venues. The hotel boasts three separate venues perfect for pre-gaming or a post-event replay:
- An oversized pool framed by the Soundwave Pool Bar, featuring a hand-painted mural wrapping around the pool deck, replicating the movement of a soundwave
- The Stage rooftop, featuring skyline views, craft cocktails, and live performances that make it the ultimate opener for LA’s headline acts
- Backstage, a 1,285-sf versatile lounge that can transform from a private dining venue to a pre-show retreat for talent or a quiet escape
