By infusing nature into this urban hotel, a natural and authentic sense of place provides travelers with a unique, quintessentially LA experience. Inspired by the nearby canyons and ravines of the Santa Monica Mountains, the design welcomes guests and visitors for respite from Sunset Boulevard. Each detail melds landscape with interior spaces through exuberant planting in every corner. Raw elements of wood, clay, stone, and water are woven and contrasted in the hotel journey to experience their differences, similarities, and inherent beauty.
