The historic structure dating from 1922 is an excellent example of Beaux Arts architecture with Art Deco charm. The interiors reflect this period, embracing a bold, Fauvist color palette and fabric patterns featuring strong geometry and deco floral and palm motifs.

The rooftop areas provide a sweeping view of downtown Los Angeles and design here reflects the modernist architecture which flourished in LA in the late 1940s – early 1960s. The roof structure is simple in form and function with light filled spaces and a flat roof. It was inspired by the Los Angeles Case Study Houses, in particular the work of architect Pierre Koenig.
