Spire on 73

Los Angeles, California

The 73rd-floor open air deck with 360-degree views features publicly accessible amenities including a rooftop bar, multiple lounges and an event space. Enclosed by a continuous glass wall, the south deck features a bar faced in terra cotta panels that runs the length of the central core wall. Directly adjacent to the bar, fire pits and custom faux-grass benches define the central lounge. Custom high-back “bird cage” chairs line the perimeter while a curvilinear terra cotta banquette wraps a large water feature lined with handmade tiles, offering up soothing background sounds to guests.

On the northeast corner, a private lounge surrounds a black marble bench seamlessly integrated with a custom-engineered fire and water feature. This feature comprises a grid of columns of flames reaching two feet in height, hovering over a dark sheet of water. The raw carved wood chairs, soft furnishings and blankets make for a comfortable niche with commanding views of the San Gabriel Mountains. The remaining deck at the northwest corner is reserved for special events and gatherings.

The signature glass sail that gives shape to the top of the tower soars 100 feet above the roof deck. The Spire, the namesake of this space, tops out at 173 feet above the roof deck and 1,100 feet above the street level below, making this the highest point and public lounge west of the Mississippi.
