If you want a peek at the latest style trends, look at high end hotels. That’s easy to do in this mixed-use urban village at the crux of Hollywood and Vine, where 375 designer rental units share a city block (and a grand valet entry) with a W Hotel and W Residences. Located above a metro rail station, this iconic city neighborhood offers everything a hipster could want, including a sixth floor pool and spa, an expansive deck and outdoor recreation area, a sports bar lounge, a fitness center with a yoga and Pilates studio, a business center, a conference room, an outdoor fireplace and fire pit, rooftop dining, a zen garden, and the occasional brush with celebrity along the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Six super graphic billboards generate additional revenue, and murals by local artists adorn the building facades. It’s a high energy hot spot targeting 25 to 40-year-old professionals who work and play in the entertainment industry.
