The London West Hollywood hotel launches its new bi-level, 11,000 square foot Penthouse Inspired by Vivienne Westwood, scheduled for completion May 18, 2015. Guests will access the tenth floor penthouse through a private, contemporary-styled corridor that leads to 6,000 square feet of spacious and striking design, specially created to form an intimate ambiance. The experience is then taken to new heights on the suite’s 5,000 square foot private outdoor rooftop terrace, ideal for entertaining and featuring breathtaking panoramic city views. LA’s largest suite was designed in collaboration between Richmond Design and the renowned British fashion designer, featuring exclusive art and decor and customized furnishings. Three new Metropolitan guest suites, which will debut in tandem on the hotel’s second floor, will range between 1,600-2,200 square feet and feature upscale residential design. This will mark the completion of the hotel’s overall $25 million renovation.

“We were initially approached by The London West Hollywood to add inspiration to the penthouse with our prints and graphics. We have specially curated rugs, wall-hangings and soft furnishings to bring a subtle element of our brand to the luxury apartment. It’s really exciting to see our designs translated into an interior space,” says Andreas Kronthaler, Vivienne Westwood Design Partner & Creative Director.
Guests are welcomed into the suite through double entry doors, which are set back from the Corridor and accented by sconces on each side. The doors open onto a large foyer that seamlessly connects to the 2,000 square foot Grand Salon – a striking, open entertaining space boasting polished stone floors, large corner sofas, bespoke cabinetry and rich furniture, accented by Vivienne Westwood cushions and upholstery. A long back wall features a built-in bookcase, backed with Verre Eglomise mirror panels.

The focal point of the salon is a large central rug, boasting the iconic Vivienne Westwood squiggle pattern. The hand-spun & hand-knotted Tibetan wool rug was especially designed and created for the room in a pale and teal blue squiggle print. The print was first seen in Westwood’s seminal 1981 Pirate Collection- and has become an iconic print synonymous with the brand. “Like clothes which have to be worn, a rug is an applied art, it has to be lived with” -Vivienne Westwood
