The SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills

The Outdoor Den at the private guest-only entrance at the new SLS Hotel.

SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills proves that Philippe Starck still has the magic touch. A collaboration between Starck and Sam Nazarian, the night-life impresario behind SBE Group, SLS — a Luxury Collection Hotel that is part of the Starwood Group. Complete with faux-mink bedspreads, spacious bathrooms and Mies van der Rohe-inspired seating beneath the windows, the 297 guest rooms are serene and luxurious. One of the hotel’s genius touches is its dual-lobby concept. Nazarian and Starck, together with the culinary whiz José Andrés, have given guests the best of both worlds. A private, guest-only lobby is home to Tres, an intimate restaurant, cocktail lounge, gourmet food carts and, for those seeking something less fleeting, a unique Moss “shop without walls” that features many of the objects that were previously available only in Moss’s New York store.
