Regency revival bolthole
A restored 1939 residence channels Golden Age glamour, hiding intimate living spaces and a palm-lined courtyard behind an unassuming exterior.
“Bullard was after ‘charm, seduction, and comfort’ in the design and those elements are abundant in both the lobby… and the singular bedrooms.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Martyn Lawrence Bullard fills the 1939 residence with gilded palms and malachite accents.
Notable
Restored 1939 Hollywood Regency architecture preserved with the Hollywood Heritage Historic Society.
What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
The garden courtyard, with its fireplaces and fountains, is a delightful place for a cocktail, and surrounding it are the Prospect’s 24 rooms.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Hillside Whitley Heights provides a leafy residential retreat, perched an easy walk above historic theaters and the Hollywood Bowl.
The rooms
Each room comes in a bold palette, with lucite four-poster beds, clawfoot soaking tubs, and custom Revival linens.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Pastries from Farmshop arrive fresh every morning, and evening cocktails are mixed at the green lobby bar.
Walking into the oversize, London-style red front door at Prospect, you’re transported into what feels more like a luxury apartment stay than a hotel.
How it began
Built in 1939 as an apartment complex for studio talent, the property was originally named after Hollywood Boulevard's early moniker.
