The Line Hotel, Los Angeles. A “fusion” project.

An iconic building designed in 1964 by architects Daniel Mann Johnson + Mendenhall (DMJM) on Los Angeles’ Wilshire Boulevard, located in a strategic position between Beverly Hills, Downtown and Hollywood, has undergone a substantial renovation.
The project, conducted by The Sydell Group in partnership with famous designer Sean Knibb, chef Roy Choi and baristas The Houston Brothers, produced a unique setting that mirrors the soul of this multicultural city.
The modern interiors feature bare concrete. The custom-designed decor of the rooms and suites was created by Sean Knibb incorporating subtle references to local tradition, with the finishing touches added by works of art.
The hotel includes not only a restaurant and a cocktail bar but an “art boutique concept store” operated by the Poketo artists’ collective, for a visit packed with art and culture.
