It looks like LA Live in downtown Los Angeles is having a nice impact on the hotel scene nearby. We already know about the new JW Marriott and the upcoming Ritz-Carlton but now the Holiday Inn across the street is getting a makeover as well.
Come June, the 200-room hotel will be known as the Luxe City Center Hotel and will be a sister property to the Luxe Hotel Rodeo Drive and the Luxe Hotel on Sunset. Design team SANDdesign has been tapped with the gig of transforming this budget hotel into something more hip and sexy. From the press release:
Furnishings include platform beds with woven wood headboards of silvered walnut and dark walnut accents and oversized lounge chair and ottomans in plush chenille in a grayed camel tones, draped with supremely soft ivory fur throws. Custom decorative lighting in the room includes mercury glass and hand-carved faux onyx. Carpeting is custom as well in a cut and loop wood grain pattern to complement the muted walls. Tiled entry floors flow into the bathrooms with glass barn door separations. Bathrooms have back-lit mirrors, rain head showers, and custom glass mosaic accent tiles in soft tones.
Judging from the room shots on the Holiday Inn website, we can't wait for these renovations. The design overhaul will also bring an indoor/outdoor bar area at street level and the addition of suites, something the Holiday Inn did not have.
Word is that the renovations will be happening floor by floor until the unveiling in mid-June. And while free WiFi will probably stick around (but expect the room rates to go up), we're guessing that Barry's Tickets has to find a new home.
