Perched at the center of iconic Sunset Boulevard, this trendsetting luxury hotel has long been a destination for tastemakers and travelers, originally brought to life in 1996 as the Mondrian with an unmistakable design sensibility, and later reimagined through a major redesign in 2018 that reinforced its status as a modern West Hollywood icon. Cinematic and confident, the property channels the creative energy of West Hollywood while introducing a refreshed sense of style and experience along the Sunset Strip.
“The Valorian marks the next evolution of a hotel that has long helped define the Sunset Strip,” said Randy Diamond, Regional Vice President of Operations for Pivot. “We are preserving the edge, creativity and sense of occasion that made this property iconic, while elevating the guest experience through a refined new identity, Hilton’s global platform, and the introduction of White Rabbit Sky Lounge for the next era of West Hollywood.”
Inside, The Valorian continues to deliver the surreal-meets-sophisticated design experience that has defined the property for decades, from its dramatic arrival sequence of 30-foot entry doors to interiors layered with bold color, rich texture, and atmospheric lighting. The experience unfolds with deliberate artistry. Guests step into a lobby conceived as a living work of art, an immersive space that intrigues and rewards exploration.
