Historic Sportsmen's Lodge hotel may be demolished for 520-unit apartment complex

The historic Sportsmen's Lodge in Studio City could be demolished to make way for a 520-unit residential complex and mixed-used development if the Los Angeles City Council approves the project Wednesday. Proponents of the development say it would bring much-needed affordable housing that would enable workers to live closer to their jobs. Opponents say the developers have not sufficiently weighed the project's effects and that it would erase an important piece of history.

In recent years, most hotel guests were tourists visiting nearby Universal Studios, but that dried up in the pandemic, and the hotel has been shuttered since then. In 2020, the hotel was a Project Roomkey site, housing people experiencing homelessness to reduce the spread of the virus. In 1964, the lodge became the first hotel to unionize in the San Fernando Valley and was one of the first union hotels in Los Angeles.
