Mediterranean influences, warm wood tones and vintage objects are found throughout this Los Angeles hotel with interiors by Home Studios.
Located in the southern neighbourhood of West Adams, Alsace LA occupies a purpose-built property designed by NMDA Architects that houses 48 guest rooms over 22,500 square feet (2,090 square metres).
The Alsace LA hotel is entered via a terracotta-tiled courtyard
Brooklyn-based Home Studios looked to the architectural variety of the historic surrounding area, and the similarities in climate and lifestyle between Southern California and the Mediterranean, as starting points for the interiors.
Guests arrive at a courtyard area paved with terracotta tiles, surrounded by rockery gardens and adjacent to a shaded outdoor seating area. The reception area features a tile mural by Lukas Geronimas Giniotis
The entrance is located beside a protruding section of the building that lifts off the ground and angles upward, following the staircase inside.
Entered under a portico, the lobby is filled with caramel-toned materials and furniture ? a mix of vintage and contemporary pieces.
White oak is used for flooring and to create a ceiling feature in the lounge
Tiled doorways, soft cove lighting, and eclectic homeware by local designers all add to the ambience.
Behind the custom-made, white-oak reception desk is a site-specific mural hand-painted onto glazed tiles by LA artist Lukas Geronimas Giniotis, whose work is found across the hotel.
