Burton House Beverly Hills, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel by Marriott, has opened in Los Angeles. Inspired by the founder of Beverly Hills, Burton Edmond Green, the imaginative, personality-driven hotel will pay homage to the city's rich history and serene landscape while embracing a modern edge. Burton House has undergone an extensive, multimillion-dollar transformation overseen by the asset management team at Seaview Investors.
The hotel has 186 guestrooms; a dining and social concept called Emerald Lounge; 1,000 square feet of meeting space; a fitness center; and a 1,100-square-foot yoga studio. Burton House Beverly Hills joins Marriott Bonvoy's Tribute Portfolio. Beverly Hills' new hotel is managed by Azul Hospitality Group.
Design
Wimberly Interiors was oversaw the interior design for Burton House. Wimberly used historic architectural details and comfortable furnishings to bring the casual glamour of 1930s Beverly Hills into the modern era. Warm tones and natural materials laid a foundation reminiscent of Beverly Hills' original natural beauty. In comparison, artsy details and thoughtfully curated moments layer in an elegance synonymous with Southern California cool. Bold colors and textures reinforce the residential feel creating a chic yet relaxed style. The design firm worked with Eaton Fine Art to curate the collection of art found throughout the suites and public spaces.
Lobby and Emerald Lounge
Throughout the lobby are many of the characteristics of both Hollywood Regency and Art Deco styles, with mirrored wall treatments, lacquered and metallic finishes on the furniture, vibrant colors, vivid contrasting patterns that produce striking pairings, and the signature use of black and white, such as a checkerboard floor in the lobby's dining area. The lobby, which was designed to spark social connections, boasts two entrances, one from the main street and one from the parking garage, which offers valet service.
Upon entering the lobby, guests will be greeted by the Emerald Lounge, an allusion to Beverly Hills' bold and beautiful greenery. The indoor-outdoor California-Mediterranean restaurant offers breakfast; a coffee bar serving espresso drinks and pastries; and a social gathering bar offering a delectable selection of creative cocktails and lite bites in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. The glamorous ambiance of Emerald will be complemented by delicious signature dishes such as flatbreads, salads, and other items both plant-based and meat-inclusive. There will also be an onsite market offering fresh snacks and meals to-go.
Accommodations
The hotel has modern and vibrant oversized guestrooms, including king studios, queen studios, Two-bedroom extended stay suites, and two- and one-bedroom suites. Each room comes complete with separate sleeping and living areas, a sofa bed, and 55-inch TVs. Kitchenettes come complete with convection/microwave ovens, refrigerators, coffee/tea service, and sitting areas. Bathrooms boast walk-in showers and large vanities. All accommodations feature Source Adage bath amenities.
The guestrooms feature a bold mix of colors and an eclectic dialogue of materials that were used to reflect the period of when Beverly Hills was being developed, interpreted through a modern lens. Graphic wallpaper framing the bed was inspired by the natural topography of Southern California, while the nightstands paid homage to the architecture of the 1930s. The furniture reflects a lot of the art deco and post-war modernism that was prevalent during Burton E. Green's time. From the lighting to the dining chairs, each piece of furniture was curated and designed to create a new perspective and mirror the essence of that time.
