W Los Angeles – West Beverly Hills

Opened in 2008, this hotel helps spice up the neighborhood's rather dreary nightlife - even though it's student-oriented by day, housing UCLA. The W Los Angeles is overflowing with elegance, with well-balanced dark tones and an emphasis on the play of materials: for example, wood is combined with metal. Finally, the bar-restaurant is located outside, near the pool, where the fluorescent lighting gives off an otherworldly feeling, accentuated by the surrounding tropical plants.
