The former Mondrian Los Angeles has relaunched as The Valorian Los Angeles, Curio Collection by Hilton, marking a repositioning of the long-standing Sunset Strip hotel in West Hollywood. The transition introduces a new identity for the property while maintaining ties to its history dating back to its 1996 debut and subsequent redesign in 2018.
Located on Sunset Boulevard, the hotel is now operated under Pivot, the lifestyle operating group of Davidson Hospitality Group.
“The Valorian marks the next evolution of a hotel that has long helped define the Sunset Strip,” said Randy Diamond, regional VP, operations, 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.”
Brooke Thomas, brand leader, Curio Collection by Hilton, added, “The Valorian is a natural fit for Curio Collection by Hilton. It captures the creative spirit and cultural energy that define West Hollywood, while delivering a one-of-a-kind experience that is deeply rooted in its location. That is exactly the kind of experience Curio Collection is built to offer across its growing global portfolio.”
The property retains key design elements established in earlier iterations, including its entry sequence of 30-ft. entry doors and interior aesthetic, while continuing to feature rotating art installations and cultural programming tied to the local creative community.
Guestrooms and suites reflect the design direction introduced in the 2018 renovation and offer views of the Sunset Strip, the Hollywood Hills and downtown Los Angeles. The hotel also includes suite accommodations intended for extended stays and special occasions.
The rooftop space has been reintroduced as White Rabbit Sky Lounge, replacing the former SkyBar concept. The venue will feature updated programming and seasonal activations, with additional design changes expected in early summer.
Casa Madera will remain in place as the hotel’s primary restaurant and will continue operating without interruption as part of the property’s food-and-beverage offering.
