The 72 Best Hotel Openings of 2024

W Hollywood, California

The reimagined W Hollywood signals a new era for the W brand in North America (which also includes the refreshed W New York – Union Square). The 319-key property balances whimsy and opulence, capturing the energy of Los Angeles—from the dramatic triple-height lobby defined by fluid, sculptural forms to the garden, with its terrazzo mosaics and reflective green glass trellises. Guestrooms feature Venetian plaster-inspired wallcoverings, oversized window seats, and intentionally mismatched details that create a layered, residential feel.
