A Storied Address Reawakens
The Sunset Strip has long served as the backdrop to Los Angeles’ cultural renaissance—and now, at 8430 W Sunset Blvd, a legacy continues under a new light. The former House of Blues site has been reintroduced as The Sun Rose West Hollywood, a 149-room luxury hotel now part of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts' L.V.X. Collection. Its rebirth pays homage to its musical past while embracing a future steeped in design, performance, and curated indulgence.
Design That Commands Attention
Inside the Martin Brudnizki-designed interiors, West Hollywood’s new chapter unfolds. A palette of rich emeralds, lacquered finishes, geometric installations, and art deco drama greets guests from the moment they enter. Outside, visitors are welcomed through the checkered Piazza and the glimmering ‘Sunset Jewel’ sculpture by Cao Perrot Studio—a golden tree embedded with black Swarovski crystals and shimmering mother-of-pearl leaves.
Crossing into the emerald-green lobby, the eye is drawn to Anthony James’ mesmerizing ‘Portal Icosahedron’, a geometric lightwork that deepens the property’s imaginative spirit.
Elevated Accommodations with California Ease
Each of the 149 guest rooms, including 37 suites, balances laid-back glamour with precision design. Softly lit with opulent, Art Deco–inspired fixtures and lined with plush textiles, rooms are punctuated with gleaming brass accents, modern artwork, and headboards that nod to Hollywood’s golden era.
Luxury amenities extend to wellness as well. The second-floor spa offers modern skincare innovations in a serene, minimalist setting, while the fitness center features Technogym’s Excite Line of cardio equipment and a movement studio framed by lush views.
A Destination for Dining, Culture, and Community
At its heart, The Sun Rose is a social playground that pulses with rhythm day and night. Leading the cultural vision is Creative Director Adam Blackstone, a Grammy and Emmy-winning artist whose musical direction spans Rihanna to Jay-Z. His appointment signals a dynamic programming arc across the hotel’s venues—both on stage and beyond.
The hotel’s jewel-box music venue is reborn as Live at The Sun Rose, continuing its legacy of hosting genre-spanning legends and viral performances. Up on the rooftop, Wolfgang Puck’s Merois captures the city’s open-air lifestyle with a menu infused with refined Pan-Asian flavors.
Enhancing the weekend energy is the Moët Bubbles Bar, open Fridays and Saturdays from 2:00–8:00 p.m., and the Rooftop Movie Series, featuring biweekly open-air screenings of cult classics and cinematic gems.
Thoughtfully Curated for Gatherings
Whether you're planning a private screening, an intimate soirée, or a high-impact product launch, The Sun Rose West Hollywood offers versatile, design-driven event spaces:
A 2,300-square-foot ballroom with an adjacent Garden Terrace
A 2,840-square-foot retro-chic bowling alley
