After a failed referendum petition against a proposed ordinance to increase the minimum wage for hotel workers in the City of Los Angeles, the increased minimum wage is now effective for LA hotel workers as of September 8, 2025. The new minimum wage for such workers is $22.50 per hour.
Hotels covered by the ordinance are those with 60 or more rooms. Future minimum wage increases are expected as follows:
- Beginning on July 1, 2026, $25.00 per hour
- Beginning on July 1, 2027, $27.50 per hour
- Beginning on July 1, 2028, $30.00 per hour
