SUNSET TOWER HOTEL

SUNSET TOWER HOTEL is a hotel located in WEST HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES, LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES. This property offers a comfortable stay with good service and solid amenities.

Designed in 1929 by architect Leland A. Bryant, the Sunset Tower (as it was originally called) was a trendsetter from the moment it opened. Its dramatic setting on the Sunset Strip and elegant Art Deco styling, together with its proximity to famous restaurants and nightclubs of the 1930s & '40s, contributed to its landmark status. West Hollywood has always catered to celebrities wishing to draw attention to hteir star power. The Sunset Tower embodied these aspirations, counting among its former residents Howard Hughes, John Wayne, Billie Burke, Marilyn Monroe, Errol Flynn, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, Paulette Goddard, Zasu Pitts, and even gangster Bugsy Siegel. Leland Bryant specialized in luxury apartments, but the Sunset Tower was his crowning achievement. His work was predominantly in Period Revival, but with this building he proved that he was equally adept with the then contemporary Deco style. To atract a demanding clientele, the Sunset Tower incorporated the latest in both techonology and design. There were modern conveniences, like outlets in every bathroom for electric shavers, and the windows were made larger to take advantage of the spectacular views.
