Featuring a unique and striking exterior, the Walt Disney Concert Hall is the home of the
illustrious Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and the Los Angeles Master Chorale. The building’s
incredible architecture has elicited varying opinions, but these are often overlooked in
light of the Hall's greatest strength: its acoustics.
The Walt Disney Concert Hall was initiated by Walt Disney’s widow, Lily Disney, after she
donated a sum of $50 million for the project to move ahead in 1987. However, the costs for
the planned building soon began to skyrocket, delaying the project. Finally the impressive
structure was completed in 2003 for a total cost of $274 million.
When the Philharmonic opened the stadium with a grand performance, the reception was wildly
positive, and the acoustics highly praised by both critics and orchestra members themselves. The
Concert Hall's opening is considered one of the most successful in American history.
Besides being able to attend grand performances by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra,
guests of the Walt Disney Hall can choose from 3 luxurious dining options:
*Patina offers luxury dining and is open for lunch, dinner and late night supper. Guests can
