Andaz West Hollywood opens

| | Comments (0) |
  The monumental artwork that has concealed the south-facing exterior of the building for the last month has come down as Andaz West Hollywood begins to reveal its many layers in preparation for Thursday's opening.

 

"It's been quite a journey, but we're delighted to have the doors opening on Jan. 8," said General Manager Michel Morauw.  "We look forward to welcoming our first guests and the community to Andaz."

Andaz West Hollywood has gutted the 14-story former Hyatt on Sunset.  While guests may still find subtle hints from its earlier days, the new hotel focuses on unique details and locale of West Hollywood.

Thursday also marked the opening of the highly anticipated RH restaurant. French-trained chef Sebastien Archambault has been working tirelessly with local vendors and growers to create his "market to table" menu focusing on regional, seasonal ingredients and personal choice.

In addition to a menu of signature dishes, RH will offer a market list.  Guests will be able to choose items off this list and customize their own dinner. 

The restaurant will also showcase local wines inspired by boutique vintners celebrating the best of California.
 

Sebastien and his team work in a kitchen completely open to the 100-seat bar and restaurant.  The walk-in coolers even feature glass doors so guests can observe their entire meal taking shape from storage and preparation to cooking and plating. 

Artist Jacob Hashimoto added final details to his aluminium and stainless steel public sculpture that adorns the façade of RH and the hotel.

Andaz delivers an innovative hospitality experience blending personal preferences with attentive and uncomplicated service. This unique collection of hotels reflects the personality of each locale, and is dedicated to creating natural and vibrant living spaces where travelers can indulge in their own personal sense of comfort and style.

The first property, Andaz Liverpool Street, launched in London, in November 2007.  Subsequent property openings scheduled include Andaz West Hollywood, Andaz Wall Street, Andaz Fifth Avenue (all in 2009) and Andaz Austin (autumn 2010).  For more information, log on to
