The West Hollywood EDITION
West Hollywood, California, United States · EDITION · High Luxury
Ian Schrager, the hotelier who co-founded Studio 54 and reinvented the boutique hotel at Morgan's and The Royalton, built this 2019 Sunset Strip tower with British architect John Pawson, whose rigorous minimalism cuts sharply against the visual noise of the boulevard outside. The 190-room hotel includes two penthouses and its own branded residences, with a rooftop restaurant, Ardor, and lounge that drew immediate attention on opening.

About The West Hollywood EDITION
- Pawson's glass facade steps back in a series of setbacks that create private terraces on the upper floors and penthouse levels.
- The hotel sits on the same stretch of Sunset Strip as the Chateau Marmont, the Mondrian, and the Standard, a lineage of hotels that has defined successive eras of Hollywood social life since Prohibition-era gambling dens first colonized the boulevard.
History
The West Hollywood EDITION opened in March 2019 on Sunset Boulevard, the storied corridor that has threaded together the creative and nocturnal life of Los Angeles since the 1920s. The glass tower, purpose-built for the EDITION brand, was conceived through the singular collaboration of Ian Schrager — the hotelier who co-founded Studio 54 and later reinvented the boutique hotel form at Morgan's and The Royalton — and John Pawson, the British architect whose work defines a certain strain of rigorous, light-saturated minimalism. Pawson's exterior reads as a clean modernist gesture against the eclectic visual noise of the Strip, its glass facade stepping back in a series of setbacks that create the terraces and penthouse levels above.
The hotel contains 190 rooms and suites, including 48 suites and two penthouses, along with a collection of branded residences on the upper floors. Schrager shaped the interiors around his conviction that luxury is felt rather than displayed — pale stone, careful proportions, and a deliberate quiet in the rooms that contrasts with the charged atmosphere of the public spaces below. Rooftop pool, a rooftop lounge called Sunset, and the signature restaurant Ardor on the ground floor brought immediate critical attention when the hotel opened.
West Hollywood has long occupied a particular position in the Los Angeles imagination — a compact, independently governed enclave where the entertainment industry, the design world, and the city's LGBTQ community have historically coexisted in unusual density. The Sunset Strip through West Hollywood has been the address of the Chateau Marmont, the Mondrian, the Standard, and a dozen other hotels that defined successive eras of Hollywood social life. The EDITION arrived as the most architecturally uncompromising entry in that lineage, bringing a purity of form to a neighborhood that has rarely lacked for personality.
The setting
The West Hollywood EDITION occupies 9040 Sunset Boulevard on the Sunset Strip, the 1.6-mile corridor through West Hollywood that evolved from Prohibition-era gambling dens — beyond Los Angeles city limits and free of LAPD oversight — into the global epicenter of rock culture in the 1960s and '70s, home to the Whisky a Go Go, the Roxy, and a generation-defining music scene. Today the Strip is lined with design showrooms, acclaimed restaurants, and destination hotels, with the Grove and Petersen Automotive Museum reachable in under thirty minutes by transit and LACMA in thirty-one. The EDITION's Strip address is both historically resonant and strategically central. 4 miles from Hollywood Bowl. 3 miles from Hollywood Walk of Fame.
