Get excited, music lovers! FYF (short for F*ck Yeah Fest) returns to Exposition Park in Los Angeles from July 21-23. The 14th annual event, which got its start as a DIY punk rock festival in Echo Park, will include performances across six stages with headliners including Missy Elliott, Bjork, Iggy Pop, A Tribe Called Quest, Solange, Frank Ocean, Nine Inch Nails, Little Dragon, Erykah Badu and dozens more.

This year marks the first time that the long-running festival will expand to three days, and for those lucky enough to attend 1, 2 or 3 shows, you’re going to need a comfy bed to rest your head (and feet). Here are 5 of our best hotels in the surrounding area, that’s sure to make your music festival experience one to remember.

1. Mama Shelter

An experiment that started in Paris in 2008 by the Trigano family, Mama Shelter opened its doors in the heart of Hollywood in 2015 and never looked back. Designed by Thierry Gaugain, Mama Shelter LA is set in a 30s-era building with six-stories overlooking the City of Angels. Guests rooms are decorated with eclectic furnishings, neon lighting, and king size beds, so you can catch some zzz’s after a long day and dream of the magical performances you’ve just witnessed.
