Andaz WeHo, the Reinvented Hyatt on Sunset Strip,
Recognized for Architecture, Design
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (February 4, 2010) � Lauded for its �seductive, sophisticated atmosphere and clear and restrained palette of materials,� Andaz West Hollywood � Sunset Strip�s sleek new hotel hot spot � emerged as a winner in Contract Magazine�s annual �Interior Awards,� which pay tribute to the very best of contemporary interior design. The 31st annual competition, which featured 15 honorees representing various industries ranging from healthcare to retail, recognized Andaz --and New York-based architectural firm Janson Goldstein -- in the Hotel category. Properties were judged by a jury of architecture and design professionals, who described Andaz�s design as �surprising, mysterious, dramatic and sensual.�
Andaz WeHo, which opened in January 2009, is in fact an inspired reinvention of the Hyatt on Sunset Strip � an area icon frequented by a slew of rock legends in the 60s and 70s. According to architect Ha testament to uncluttered urban architecture, with design elements gleaned from a storied past and the vibrant surrounding neighborhood. With generous use of glass to bring the outdoors in and subtly reinforce a �sense of place,� Andaz�s interiors exude a breezy transparency, with an open, ethereal ambiance. With an absence of walls, spatial and visual fluidity continues through the lounge, restaurant, lobby, and out into the street itself. Highlights include: a full-wall back-lit image by artist Amanda Weil that anchors the main entrance, a stunning array of modern artworks by California artists, a glass pavilion housing the highly touted RH Restaurant & Bar, sustainably harvested wood flooring, expansive junior suites with floor-to-ceiling glass sunrooms and an all-glass southern façade.
