The Suite

Penthouse can often be an overused term, however The Penthouse at The West Hollywood EDITION certainly fits the bill, combining sleek, modern design with panoramic views of the city. When the view is this good, it makes sense to incorporate it as much as possible, so the suite utilizes colossal floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with light. There’s also a wrap-around terrace, constantly inviting guests to take a step outside. Aside from the views, this expansive suite offers a sophisticated living space, keeping the design clean and minimal. There’s an elegant dining area, kitted out with light wood furnishings that pair beautifully with the porcelain floors that run throughout the suite.

The Hotel

Sophisticated, sexy, seductive. Could we expect anything less for West Hollywood? Not least when the EDITION is in town. It’s a transformation tale straight out of the movies; an overlooked ugly duckling (a former gas station on the Sunset Strip) was picked out by an industry staple (Studio 54 co-founder Ian Schrager) and given the ultimate makeover, eventually becoming the talk of Los Angeles.

Across the 13-story, 190-room hotel, architect John Pawson has used a sleek and stylish combination of cedar, Italian marble flooring, and, for the hotel’s most mesmerizing feature, more than $1m of tropical plants to line the walls of the social areas. In this glitzy and buzzy corner of Beverly Hills, LA is truly at its best: Hollywood at your doorstep, while being an easy drive to the beaches of Santa Monica and Venice.
