West Hollywood EDITION is a hotel located in Los Angeles, California, created by hotelier Ian Schrager and designed by John Pawson. The property features 140 guest rooms alongside 50 suites characterized by the hotel’s iconic light neutral palette and whitewashed Siberian Larch wood. Sitting atop the property are 20 one-of-a-kind residences that further the signature design language of the hotel.
Pawson created the building from the ground up, purposefully employing dramatic proportions and rich materials such as Western Red Cedar for the entryway and outsized front doors. The Italian travertine slabs, which fill the three story entry, were so perfectly cut that Pawson’s team decided not to fill the joints.
The West Hollywood EDITION has created a new gathering place for visitors and locals by reviving the vibrancy of the Golden age and paying tribute to the region's rich history. Schrager mentions that Sunset Boulevard has become the voice of a generation that is trying to recreate the magic and energy with EDITION, not by repeating the past, but by evoking it and leading to the future in the same spirit.
