Thompson Hotels, a luxury lifestyle brand, and tommie, a new “micro lifestyle” brand will be the flags for the projects, both of which are in Hollywood. Both are being led by a private developer with multiple ventures in the mixed-use urban area.

“The resurgence and robust future of Hollywood create a prime opportunity for us to bring the first new-build Thompson hotel to Los Angeles and introduce tommie to the West Coast,” said Niki Leondakis, CEO, Commune Hotels & Resorts. “The privilege of working closely with our partners in the layout and programming of the two buildings provides the opportunity to genuinely weave the new hotels into the fabric of the neighbourhood in each of the brand’s distinctive ways.”
Â
On Wilcox Avenue, north of Sunset Boulevard, Thompson Hollywood will be a 200-key hotel. The ground floor of the 10-storey building will comprise the hotel lobby, a 4,595-square-foot restaurant, a 1,862-square-foot bar, and an outdoor plaza. With views of the iconic Hollywood sign and downtown Los Angeles, the penthouse level will include an outdoor pool with deck, a 1,430-square-foot restaurant and a fitness centre.

tommie Hollywood, currently in its early planning stages, will be located on nearby on Cahuenga Boulevard, south of Sunset Boulevard.

Thompson Hollywood and tommie Hollywood will break ground once entitlements and permits are secured, which is anticipated by end of 2015. Both hotels are scheduled to open in 2017.
