The AC is modeled after the airy artist's lofts that have sprung
up in the former warehouses and industrial buildings in the
surrounding Arts and Fashion Districts. Its lobby is located on the
34th floor and enjoys sweeping views over the sprawling city through
floor-to-ceiling glass. Materials such as textured plaster and stucco
were influenced by the Spanish architecture that’s sprinkled through
Los Angeles, yet the clean lines and restrained color palette read
more like Scandinavia.
The hotel’s Library caters to those
working remotely, offering large communal tables with chamfered
corners and linear downlights along their centers. These are
accompanied by the Ren Dining Armchair designed by Space Copenhagen
for Stellar Works, which features soft leather cushions atop slender
wood frames. Meanwhile, in the AC Bar & Lounge, Yabu Pushelberg’s
statuesque Taylor Bar Chair SH750 appears alongside a monolithic bar
formed from speckled terrazzo, and the studio’s Taylor and Blink
dining chairs join the tables for both large and small groups.
The
guest rooms at the AC are similarly pared-down, providing minimalist
sanctuaries to unwind in after a busy day. Occupants can relax on beds
with custom headboards or lounge across bespoke sofa beds, which come
with custom circular tables provided just in case there are still a
few more emails to answer after hours. These refuges high above the
frenetic city are just as soothing as the communal spaces, ensuring AC
Hotel guests can truly escape. And if the urge to party happens to
strike, they can always head downstairs to the Moxy. Perfect for those
combining business and pleasure.
酒店的设计灵感源自艺术区旧仓库中常见的挑高工作室。大堂位于34层,整面落地窗将洛杉矶全景尽收眼底。
墙面采用的质感灰泥与拉毛石膏, 呼应了本地散见的西班牙建筑风格,
而简洁的线条与克制的配色则流露出北欧式的简约。
图书馆区域为需要移动办公的客人准备了共享办公桌,桌角圆润,
并配有内置的线性灯光。与之搭配的是由 Space Copenhagen 为
Stellar Works 设计的 Rén 扶手餐椅,椅面为软皮革,框架则纤细轻盈。
在酒吧与休闲区,Yabu Pushelberg 设计的 Taylor 吧椅与整体水磨石吧台并列,
同系列的 Taylor 与 Blink 餐椅则围绕在不同尺寸的餐桌旁。
客房同样延续简约风格,为忙碌后的客人提供了一处可放松的静谧空间。
房内配有带定制床头板的床铺、沙发床,以及便于临时处理事务的圆形边桌。
这些高居都市上空的房间,如同远离喧嚣的休憩所,确保住客能真正得到安宁。
当然,若临时起意想感受热闹氛围,下楼即可到达 Moxy 酒店。对于希望兼顾工作与休闲的旅客而言,
这无疑是一个理想选择。
The AC Hotel shares a building and its amenities with younger, edgier
sister property, the Moxy. But while the Moxy leans into the area’s
grit, the AC Hotel is geared towards those in town for meetings or
events, and is designed by interiors studio Yabu Pushelberg as the
bright and serene ‘day’ to its sibling’s moody ‘night’.
AC酒店与更年轻的姐妹品牌 Moxy Downtown LA 共用这座大楼及其配套设施。
如果说Moxy的设计呼应了街区的粗犷气息,那么 AC 酒店则更侧重于服务会议与活动宾客。
由 Yabu Pushelberg 工作室打造的 AC 酒店,以明亮宁静的氛围,与其姐妹店形成了“
白昼”与“夜色”般的对比。
