Eco-chic hotel with rooftop pool, sustainable design, and dining
"A Sunset Strip property anchored in sustainability and biophilic design, the hotel envelops guests in reclaimed wood, abundant plants, and locally made furnishings across 285 rooms stocked with eco-minded amenities like yoga mats and kombucha minibars. Ground-floor offerings include a farm stand, a sustainably focused restaurant led by chef Ginger Pierce, a retail shop selling natural products, a heated plant-filled pool and rooftop bar, a fitness-focused Field House, and a Bamford Wellness Spa providing holistic treatments." - Chris Dong
"A hotel providing 35% off stays with a portion of proceeds donated to World Central Kitchen to help those displaced by the wildfires."
"The 1 Hotel West Hollywood is offering three noteworthy Thanksgiving specials: a three-course dinner for $125 per person ($65 for kids) in their Juniper Garden, with smoked turkey and shaved brussel sprouts al fresco, limited-edition turkey breast sandwiches with cranberry mostarda and gravy, and for vegans or those concerned about their microbiome, there’s a “gut health” prix fixe menu that starts with a turmeric shot and ends with spicy mushroom kebabs. Price: Dinner, $125 per person; Sandwiches, $25" - sylvio martins
"The Sunset Strip hotel is offering a Give Thanks sando ($22), a limited-edition sandwich packed with smoked turkey breast, spice-roasted yams, and cranberry mostarda. All proceeds from this sandwich will go towards the Los Angeles Mission." - kat hong, nikko duren, garrett snyder
"Although it spans just under two square miles, the little city of West Hollywood (WeHo) is, like much of Los Angeles County, having a big hotel moment. What makes the arrival of 1 Hotel West Hollywood so special—in a wave of openings that includes the Edition’s first West Coast property and the Pendry—is its sharp focus on sustainability. Interior design star Tony Machado used elements of biophilic design (incorporating the natural world—materials, light, vegetation, views—into a built space) by adding greenery to every corner imaginable: a hanging garden at the entrance; a moss-covered wall that imitates the famed Hollywood sign; huge stone planters scattered around the lobby; and no less than three potted plants per bedroom. And almost everything—the flooring, the keys, the enormous sculpted tree-trunk reception desk—is made of reclaimed wood (around 72 tonnes of pine and olive trees downed during storms), while carpets are fashioned from repurposed ocean plastics. The effect of these materials and all the sunshine streaming in from enormous windows is a blurring of the inside and outside and an undeniable sense of wellbeing. The actual outdoor spaces—the rooftop pool and bar—have views of downtown and Laurel Canyon and, on a very clear day, all the way to the beach, while a 5,000 square-foot garden is filled with native plants. It feels like a small miracle that this spacious, verdant retreat exists on buzzing Sunset Boulevard." - Krista Simmons, Celeste Moure
