"Dustin Lancaster is known for his Midas touch with restaurants, and with Hotel Covell, in Los Feliz, he proved that holds true for boutique hotels, too. Firehouse, Lancaster's second hotel, is a revamped firehouse where each room is themed by a single color. While this monochromatic approach could easily awry, designer Sally Breer has ensured that its execution is nothing but stylish and seamless. In addition, Firehouse has wonderfully communal feel, complete with an outdoor restaurant and coffee shop." - Krista Simmons
