Renovation and Interior Design | Hotel / Hospitality
Hollywood, CA
Date Completed: Renovation Phases 2007 - 2014
Project Description
This project required a large collaborative design team working in lock step. The goal: to restore the hip, upscale image that this boutique Hollywood hotel exuded when it was built 93 years ago. To that end, the team renovated the entire exterior and all outdoor areas (the Tropicana Pool & Cafe and rooftop event space), and reinstated a modern, chic atmosphere throughout the interior, including: the restaurants, bar, a games parlor with vintage bowling lanes, and the 4500-square-foot Blossom Ballroom, the elegant venue for the very first Academy Awards in 1929. Functional efficiency and health and sanitation upgrades were also priorities. The project was completed in phases over seven years.
