The W Hollywood Hotel finally opened this morning after a ribbon-cutting ceremony that included celebrities Jimmy Kimmel, Robin Thicke and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. The hotel is part of a $600-million complex that most notably surrounds a public plaza that leads to the Hollywood and Vine Metro stop across from the landmark Pantages Theatre.
The Los Angeles Times’ architecture critic, Christopher Hawthorne, didn’t quite glow about the beauty of the hotel or the development, which includes 143 W-branded residences, 305 hotel rooms and a 375-unit apartment block called 1600 Vine. He called the complex “rather ungainly” and said it “is not what you’d call an elegant addition to the rapidly expanding Hollywood skyline.”
How much does it cost to stay at the hotel? on the Starwood website rooms start at $259 per night. Use the special rate plan “WOPEN” when booking through March 31.
