As a valued American Airlines AAdvantage® Aviator® Mastercard® cardmember, you and a guest are cordially invited to join Chef Timothy Hollingsworth for an unforgettable dining experience at his restaurant in Los Angeles, Otium.

Award-winning Chef Hollingsworth has represented the United States at the Bocuse d’Or Finale and is the recent winner of Netflix’s The Final Table.

In 2015, he opened Otium, a contemporary restaurant that draws from the rich culinary heritage and experiences of Chef Hollingsworth. It is designed to be a social restaurant with a dramatic open kitchen merging indoor and outdoor spaces. The restaurant’s name, Otium, has its roots in Latin, a word that is meant to emphasize a place where time can be spent on leisurely social activities. Adjacent to one of Los Angeles’s most important cultural corridors — Grand Avenue — and next to the contemporary art museum, The Broad, Otium strips away the rigid formalities of dining while focusing on the quality of food, warm service, and relaxed casual ambience, paralleling the true essence of its name
