SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills To Get Fancy Jose Andres Restaurant

Where: 465 S. La Cienaga Boulevard [map], Los Angeles, ca, United States, 90048

The former Le Meridien Beverly Hills hotel shuttered down a few months ago to make way for a new hotel chain from nightclub king Sam Nazarian and his SBE group, called SLS Hotels. (Alphabet soup much?)

We still aren't sure what to expect from this new hotel except Philippe Starck's soul and possibly some drunken goblet-holding monkeys. However, as with all new hotels a fancy schmancy hotel restaurant is a must.

Eater LA reports:

SBE tapped Jose Andres to run all the food and bev for their first LA hotel (the former Le Meredien), including a restaurant, lounge and catering. Andres worked with Ferran Adria in Spain, and his ThinkFoodGroup operates Jaleo, Oyamel, Zaytinya and Café Atlántico in Washington D.C. The hotel and restaurants will probably debut in June '08.

Meanwhile, we drove by the hotel building just yesterday and absolutely no new work has been done on the building. We're not saying that June 2008 isn't do-able but well, we've been burned by hotel hype lots of times before.
