  1. It would be wonderful if a 3 or 4 star hotel would be part of the plan. I layover in LA often and the hotels within walking distance are poor. A hotel that is part of Amtrak Guest Rewards network would be a bonus.

  2. Will they finally reopen the Harvey House restaurant? And will the new buildings echo the Spanish Art Deco of the original building?

    • No, Union Station is not being torn down. A major goal of the master plan is to preserve the building as we all know it while also modernizing it and expanding the station’s ability to handle loads of passengers.
