Dezeen: Lush courtyards surround 1 Hotel West Hollywood in Los Angeles

The Hollywood Hills' hiking trails informed the verdant gardens and earthen interiors of this hotel along Los Angeles' Sunset Strip. The 1 Hotel West Hollywood marks the latest outpost of 1 Hotels – a chain run by brand management company SH Hotels & Resorts.

New York firm AvroKO created the design for the property, which was then executed by SH Hotels & Resorts' interior design team, to revolve around the natural environment. The hotel spans two towers, formerly occupied by The Jeremy Hotel, and is anchored by series of courtyards collectively named The Canyon. The interiors, meanwhile, focus on the study of texture, specifically weathered surfaces and muted tones.

In the lobby are brushed concrete columns, exposed concrete floors and black steel accents; a scene softened by all natural flax linen and cotton canvas fabrics on upholstered furnishings. Many of the lobby's custom pieces were manufactured locally, including seating by Los Angeles designer J Alexander, and the reception desk, which was made from naturally fallen timber.

Reclaimed wood also forms the wall panels, ceiling beams, and flooring in the raised Juniper Tree lounge.

The design team translated the muted palette to the hotel's 285 rooms and suites – including twin penthouses – with natural fiber rugs, organic cotton linens, and marble bathrooms. Floor to ceiling windows are treated with puddled linen sheers and drapery.
