Poised as one of L.A.’s most compelling new openings this year, we’d love to work together to tell the story of this exciting new launch of Silver Lake’s newest design-forward boutique hotel, bringing together nearly a century of history with contemporary design, locally rooted art and community partnerships alongside the debut of Sous Sous, the hotel’s signature New American French restaurant and bar set within the building’s soaring former chapel.
Highlights of What Sets Hotel Lucile Apart Include:
- Architectural Character with Soulful Details: With just 25 guest rooms arranged around a peaceful courtyard, the hotel feels intentionally intimate. Originally designed by architect Scott Quintin, the reimagined 1931 church preserves its defining stained-glass windows, soaring arches and former chapel, layered with custom furnishings, contemporary artwork and collected antiques that reflect Silver Lake’s creative spirit and Casetta’s thoughtful approach to preservation.
- Silver Lake’s New Culinary Destination: At the heart of Hotel Lucile is Sous Sous, a New American French restaurant and bar set within the building’s former chapel and developed with the team behind De La Nonna. Led by Chef Patrick Costa, the menu draws from Southern France, Southern California and the American South, pairing French technique with seasonal seafood, raw-bar offerings and market-driven cooking. The hotel will also debut Cartolina on Lucile, an all-day neighborhood café serving pastries, coffee and a relaxed French-American menu from the landmark church steps.
- A Living Expression of Art & Design: Developed in partnership with L.A.-based Rhett Baruch Gallery, Hotel Lucile’s immersive art program and ‘living gallery’ features rotating exhibitions, site-specific installations and seasonal artist residencies. Art is woven throughout the interiors alongside sculptural lighting, vintage flooring and collected antiques, creating a layered setting for creativity and discovery. Crowning the narthex, a new mural of nearby Eaton Canyon by the artist Erin Lynn Welsh nods to the city’s resilience after the fires. Other artworks throughout the hotel, curated by Uprise Art include pieces by Nicole Anastas, Kayla Plosz Antiel, and RF. Alvarez. The balance works: Hotel Lucile feels at once thoroughly contemporary and also like it’s long been a part of Silver Lake’s vibrant social fabric. — Architectural Digest
- Rooted in Community: Few neighborhoods capture the cultural soul of Los Angeles quite like Silver Lake, where history, creativity, and modern lifestyle intersect in unexpected ways. Long favored by artists, architects, and tastemakers, the neighborhood continues to evolve, drawing travelers in search of stays that feel personal, intentional, and rooted in place. Like Silver Lake, Hotel Lucile is shaped by a simple belief: enduring places never stop evolving.
Set within a thoughtfully restored 1931 church, Hotel Lucile will debut as an intimate 25-room stay, living art gallery, culinary destination and neighborhood gathering place, bringing new life to one of Silver Lake’s most recognizable historic landmarks.
