Thompson Hollywood
One of the world’s foremost interior architectural designers meets an award-winning boutique lifestyle hospitality brand in this characteristic hotel. Sitting on Wilcox Avenue just north of Sunset Boulevard, this marks the first Californian property for both Tara Bernerd & Partners and the Thompson brand.
At first glance, you already see West Coast Modernism with a playful dash of old school Hollywood glamour. Since aesthetic is clearly intentional, you are greeted with layers of rich texture, combined with intelligent layouts and a refined curation of artwork.
Spanning 190 guest rooms with 16 suites across 11 floors, the hotel also features an expansive terrace with pool deck and rooftop lounge Bar Lis' 360 degree views. In guest rooms, palettes are light and fresh with wide-planked walnut wood floors, cream walls, and potted plants for that home-away-from-home feeling. Together with signature restaurant Mes Amis, it's a fine example of a luxury dining and stay experience in Los Angeles.
