Sonder The Winfield

The place

Downtown Los Angeles, and a building from 1929 that once held a flagship clothing store. The Art Deco facade keeps its grandeur; inside, everything has been quietly redone with a modern charm.

The 122 apartments — studio to three-bedroom — pair exposed brick walls with stylish furnishings, curated artwork, and industrial accents. Each comes with a fully equipped kitchenette, in-unit laundry, and Roku streaming.

There is a well-appointed fitness and yoga room, a cozy lounge and courtyard, and a co-working space. No restaurant of its own — the surrounding blocks, dense with good dining and drinking, take care of that.
