Hyperion Hotel

The Hyperion Hotel was home base for Angel in the television series Angel during the middle seasons of the show. The gang moved into the Hyperion at the beginning of the second season, following the destruction of their offices in the finale of season one, "To Shanshu in L.A.".

Trivia

 * The name Hyperion comes from Greek mythology and is considered synonymous with Helios the god of the Sun. There is no doubt some deliberate irony in having a vampire live inside a building associated with the Sun..


 * In the episode "Carpe Noctem", we can clearly see Angel's business card, showing the address 1481 Hyperion Avenue.


 * Exterior shots of the hotel were taken at the Los Altos Hotel & Apartments, at 4121 Wilshire Blvd. Some interior shots were done in The Ambassador Hotel, according to DVD commentary about "Billy".
