1201, The Residences at the West Hollywood Edition, Los Angeles, California

The new West Hollywood Edition hotel, comprising 20 jaw-dropping residences, is situated on the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Doheny Drive. Architect and interior designer John Pawson took inspiration from the spirit of Los Angeles, fusing indoor and outdoor living areas and highlighting the panoramic ocean views. In the four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom unit 1201, glass walls make up three of the residence’s sides, sliding open onto an 834-sq-ft south-facing terrace, with louvred screens filtering the sunlight. Design accents include white oak flooring, a Molteni kitchen with custom teak millwork and a freestanding 1,200-lb concrete bathtub. Residents have access to the five-star hotel’s amenities, which include a lobby-level restaurant with trellis-shaded garden, spa, fitness center and rooftop pool terrace with cocktail bar. But there are also a number of resident-only areas, including private lobby and secluded rooftop pool, along with a dedicated concierge.
