Adolfo Suaya, who has a long history of opening restaurants and bars in Los Angeles, starting with the Gaucho Grill chain and then places like The Phoenix, Bar Delux, Surly Goat, Dolce, the Lodge, and the ill-fated Osaka, has finally secured funding for his planned $35 million whiskey-themed hotel in Hollywood, which he’s calling the Whiskey Hotel. With 134 rooms and everything from whiskey-filled minibars to a whiskey fountain, the boutique hotel hopes to open some time in 2022.
Guests checking in will get a complimentary dram of whiskey when they walk in, while whiskey “sommeliers” can guide brown liquor aficionados in their craft spirits selection. The seven-story hotel will also have a greenhouse-style rooftop restaurant and bar. Suaya hasn’t been as active recently in the LA restaurant scene, as his latest place Paloma in Hollywood closed back in March 2019 after just 15 months of operation.
