1 Hotel Heads West: Conscious, Cultivated + Now Californian!
LOS ANGELES, July 9, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

-- 1 Hotels Flagship Opens in West Hollywood

-- A Sustainable City Sanctuary

Today, 1 Hotels opens its fourth property and West Coast flagship, 1 West 
Hollywood. Formerly The Jeremy, the property has undergone a total 
transformation, taking its cues from the raw natural beauty of the Southern 
California landscape. As yet another world-class, mission-driven, luxury 
experience in the 1 Hotel portfolio, the newest property will continue to be 
operated by SH Hotels & Resorts, a subsidiary of Starwood Capital Group, a 
global private investment firm.

When it comes to sustainable hospitality, 1 Hotels walks the walk. With an 
Energy Star score of 95, "1 WeHo" will be one of the most energy-efficient 
hotels in L.A. Among its property-wide conservation practices is the inclusion 
of native and adaptive vegetation, a smart irrigation system that determines 
when soil actually needs water, a 100% organic, sustainably-grown vegetable 
garden and neighboring beehive and 100-year old olive trees.

"1 Hotel West Hollywood will undoubtedly set a new standard for luxury hotel 
experiences in Los Angeles while staying true to our mission of inspiring 
conscious consumption," said 1 Hotels Founder and CEO & Chairman of Starwood 
Capital Group Barry Sternlicht. "Now, more than ever, the idea of living well 
includes protecting the natural beauty around us."

Inside the hotel, smart energy-efficient zoning of A/C and fresh air keeps 
guests comfortable and LED lighting flows throughout the building. Designed by 
AvroKo and executed by SH Hotels & Resorts' interior design team, the 
property's conscious earthy design is inspired by the beauty and simplicity of 
raw materials: reclaimed timber and steel, recycled fiber carpeting, abundant 
native greenery and stunning stonework. The reception desk is crafted from 
lumber, sourced from naturally fallen trees, and all lobby furniture is locally 
made by J. Alexander.

"The local community is integral to our growing footprint on the West Coast. 
From design and culinary to retail partnerships and beyond, 1 Hotel West 
Hollywood will be a sanctuary for guests and visitors alike to reconnect with 
nature," said President of SH Hotels & Resorts, Arash Azarbarzin.

Nestled at the base of the Hollywood Hills, with sweeping views from downtown 
to Santa Monica, 1 Hotel West Hollywood features 285 guestrooms and suites, 
including dual penthouses perched atop the city skyline, which are set to debut 
later this summer. A newly renovated plunge pool and lounge deck overlooks West 
Hollywood and beyond. The property also features 14,000 square feet of flexible 
event space, a business center, and a range of culinary options.

Executive Chef Chris Crary has challenged himself to create a selection of 
zero-waste dishes that amplify his restaurants' commitment to preserving the 
beauty and bounty of nature. 1 Kitchen by Chris Crary serves a sublime menu of 
locally and sustainably sourced California cuisine with Italian influences. And 
Juniper Tree, 1 Hotel West Hollywood's ethereal bar and lounge, is a perfect 
refuge from the city, and offering handcrafted cocktails, Mediterranean wines 
(biodynamic and organic), local craft beers and refined bar snacks.

Discover a sanctuary in the heart of Los Angeles at 1 Hotel West Hollywood, 
located at 8490 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood, CA 90069. For more information,
