W HOLLYWOOD HOTEL & RESIDENCES, HOLLYWOOD, CA

Located at the corner of Hollywood and Vine on the world-famous Walk of Fame, the W Hotel & Residences is the epicenter of the new Hollywood renaissance. The mixed-use project includes a 12-story luxury hotel with 305 rooms, a 16-story residential tower with 143 high-end condominium units, and 3 levels of subterranean parking.

The glittering property features the Drai's Hollywood nightclub located at the roof top pool terrace. Other amenities include a Bliss Spa, the Delphine Eatery & Bar, and access to the MTA Red Line. The hotel and condo portions of the project are joined with a soaring 11th-story sky bridge bringing the amenities of the hotel to residence owners. The project incorporates a historical façade on Vine Street, near the former site of the Brown Derby restaurant.
