The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites in Los Angeles

The Westin_Bonaventure_Hotel should have been twice the height. It's only a 367-foot (112 m), 33-story hotel, but it should have been at least as tall as the Westin_Peachtree_Plaza_Hotel in Atlanta or the Renaissance_Center in Detroit, or The_Stamford in Singapore.

It would take LA a long time to have a much taller hotel tower.
