Penthouse, The West Hollywood EDITION
Opening in Fall 2019, just a few months before – you guessed it – the Covid-19 pandemic, The West Hollywood EDITION still has the feeling of a new hotel.
The work of British minimalist architect John Pawson, the hotel and residences have been lauded by the design world for their considered aesthetic.
Light-filled rooms are sleek and chic with milk white walls and blonde Siberian Larch wood detailing. Geometric lines and a rooftop pool that wouldn’t look out of place in a David Hockney painting exude that easy breezy LA vibe.
The towering ceilings, dramatic lighting and oversized emerald green curtains of the lobby supply a dash of Hollywood glamor. There is also a touch of grittiness in homage to the neighborhood's past, via a hanging gas can installation by artist Sterling Ruby.
Plants are everywhere too (to be exact, 56 indigenous plant species from Southern California surround the hotel's entrance). An organic plant-forward menu is served in chef John Fraser’s Ardor restaurant amidst a palm-laden outdoor terrace. At the spa, plant-derived products work hand-in-hand with technologically advanced treatments.
The hotel’s coveted one-bedroom Penthouse offers views across the city from its flower-lined wrap around terrace and multi-aspect full length windows. The neutral palette is given a sumptuous twist with fresh flowers, white leather detailing and faded vintage-style rugs softening the crisp modern floor tiles.
The natural stone bathroom features a double vanity, rainforest shower and deep soaking tub with custom Le Labo amenities.
Amongst the stylish soft furnishings in the elongated living and dining room is a sofa bed should it be required. The Penthouse can also be connected to a Deluxe Terrace King room to create a roomy two-bed abode.

The West Hollywood EDITION
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.
