Redesign of Mosaic Hotel in the Heart of Beverly Hills

Luxlo was honored to redesign Mosaic Hotel (www.mosaichotel.com), a luxury boutique 49-room property managed by Gemstone Hotels & Resorts and located in the heart of Beverly Hills. With a long history working in the high-end residential sphere, Luxlo felt we could translate the sense of belonging into the hotel experience.
The goal with the refresh was to fuse a European sensibility with a modern American style, which pays homage to our iconic host community. In doing so, Luxlo brought together the best of both the classic and the contemporary.
Upon first arriving at the property pre-renovation, we were struck by the warmth of the place and the friendly staff, which we felt was reflective of the Californian culture. We were inspired by its prime location in the heart of Beverly Hills just blocks from world-class shopping and dining and famed attractions including Rodeo Drive and the Golden Triangle. Mosaic Hotel also boasts easy access to all Los Angeles has to offer from the beach communities to the evolving Downtown scene and the nightlife of Hollywood.
Spending more time in Los Angeles, we were inspired by the light, which brought everything to life. Surprised by how many dark places there were in the city, it was important to embrace every beam of sunlight in the redesign as one of Los Angeles’ most defining characteristics.
It was equally important to capture a sense of the host community in the design. California is celebrated in the redesign through the injection of bright colors and original design elements, from the whimsical wallpaper to the ultramodern artwork. We envisioned the lobby as having a luxury, comfortable feel, which evokes a true sense of place and is appealing to travelers and locals alike looking for a home away from home.
Bringing in a bit of Luxlo’s British heritage with a few traditional elements, guests are greeted by a classic doorman with a Bowler hat and embraced by a welcoming lobby complete with a medley of the world’s finest furnishings and fabrics. Luxlo brought in comfortable residential touches mixed with modern furnishings and artistic touches that provide flashes of color and added whimsical elements such as bespoke silk embroidered Fromental wallpaper—a nod to famed artist David Hockney, who has had a longtime love affair with Los Angeles. He created clusters of seating with elegant shapes, inviting guests to kick back in the lobby. Hard surfaces throughout the lobby have clean, marble finishes and the front desk has an inviting, river rock surface to add to the friendly feel throughout.
A custom weave sculpture by Renee Dinauer and original wall art by David Dauncey was selected for the lobby. The serene outdoor space features fire pits and a glorious pool, perfect for lounging and swimming. The pool area is a relaxing hideaway for the hotel guests as well as a nice place to enjoy cocktails and tapas-style bites in the evening. With its modern, fresh feel, it evokes California meets a St. Tropez beach club. It has a less formal feel than the lobby, creating a true vacation feel. My personal original sculptures of flamingos and martini glasses in neon colors are nestled among the bamboo beds, embracing artwork outdoors.
In conceptualizing the energetic and vibrant interiors, Luxlo embraced natural tones and materials throughout including Mosaic’s signature sage as well as bright white, azure and dark blues. For instance, Luxlo juxtaposed seductive dark blue; bronze pinstriped Fromental wallpaper in the corridors, which adds a tailored feel, with light and contemporary cool guest suites to create a stylish and functional vibe. The corridors feature an Axminster carpet with a striking blue strip, which Luxlo designed to complement the walls. Upon stepping off the elevators, guests are greeted by one-of-a-kind recessed mirror lighting features, which is an example of the innovative use of light throughout the redesigned hotel.

With the hotel rooms, Luxlo tried to bring the residential feel to the fore. Considering every guest’s needs, from leisure to business travelers alike, each room features distinctive low-slung clean-lined chairs, luxurious linens and imaginative wall art. The oversize headboard, featured in hotel’s signature sage color, is covered in faux-leather. The bed features goose down blankets and 300-thread count sheets. Nightstands feature beautiful pendant lights and side lamps, creating an interesting mix of shapes and textures. There are also bedside USB charging stations for ultimate connectivity options. Functionality was essential to the room design, so desks and dressing tables are featured, ensuring leisure or business travelers can work or have meals in their rooms. For the furniture, Luxlo used a grey stained maple look with antique bronze trims. All the surfaces have white stone tops, keeping it all light and luxury to the touch. The room also features multi-use furniture with clean lines and design details that reveal themselves over time. The ombré drapery, which moves from light to dark shades of blue, captures the bright California sky.
For the bathrooms, Luxlo used a lovely grey wood marble. The vanities have round mirrors on black painted glass backdrop, providing a sense of space. Nice touches were added to the well-appointed bathrooms such as Beverly Hills famed palm trees on the walls, rainfall showerheads, filletto marble tiles and white stone vanities. The rooms include highly personalized in-room connectivity and entertainment options. Suites feature state-of-the-art technology and luxury-boutique must-haves including recessed lighting, electric “do not disturb” signs and Nespresso machines, every detail was thoughtfully curated.
Mosaic Hotel features one and two-bedroom luxurious and relaxing suites for guests to unwind and truly feel at home. Offering all of the amenities of the standard guest rooms, the suites also include additional comforts such as cozy living areas with comfortable L-shaped sofas, ottomans, oversized TVs, dining tables and wet bars. The bathrooms boast Calacatta marble vanities, oversized glass enclosed showers and BVLGARI® bath products.

Each room has its own personality, evoking a well-heeled apartment feel. For instance, the “Pool Suite” offers the ultimate in Beverly Hills luxury with two bedrooms and separate living room and dining areas. Guests can enjoy the 75-foot balcony overlooking the pool and their own private entrance. The luxurious suite can also double as a meeting room.
The redesigned Mosaic Hotel also offers a stylish and sophisticated setting for an unforgettable event. In a prime sought-after location, the redesigned property features exceptional indoor and outdoor venue options, which can cater to intimate gatherings or larger celebrations. With onsite catering and staffing, the hotel provides top-notch fresh tapas-style fare and first-class service amidst a relaxing ambiance.
Luxlo is proud for guests to experience the newly redesigned Mosaic Hotel, which reopens on July 15. We hope guests will enjoy the intimate 49-room property. The chic and luxurious boutique offering is truly fantastic for guests seeking a unique design destination in the heart of Beverly Hills.
