Is LAX's Theme Building coming back to life as part of an on-airport hotel?
LOS ANGELES - In New York, JFK airport has found someone to transform its curvaceous but long-dead TWA terminal into a hotel. In downtown Los Angeles, Union Station has at last found a brewpub to fill its grand old Harvey House restaurant space after about 50 years.
So when will Los Angeles International Airport resurrect its own iconic, underused, transportation-adjacent architectural wonder?
Maybe soon.
As the airport advances on a major expansion and modernization, including a new people-mover train scheduled to open in 2023, Los Angeles World Airports officials are looking for ways to bring a hotel into the core area that includes the Theme Building.
