A former church originally designed by Scott Quintin in 1931 is newly reinvigorated as Hotel Lucile in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles. Redesigned by Electric Bowery, the building now hosts a 25-room hotel, living art gallery, and community gathering hub. Stained-glass windows, soaring arches, and a former chapel are all preserved alongside new amenities like a sunny pooldeck and rooftop.

Against a backdrop of original architecture and historic interiors, the Casetta property infuses the warmth and intimacy of a contemporary boutique hotel. European influences intermingle with odes to local Silver Lake history reflected in an eclectic palette and bespoke furniture in mossy greens, velvet jewel tones, and grounded residential touchpoints. A tranquil, sundrenched courtyard anchors the hotel, while a mezzanine choir loft adorned with a warm, wood-lined lounge also invites ample daylight while evoking vintage charm apt for artist talks, salon dinners, and other creative programming. Beneath the monumental scale of the former chapel, custom furnishings and collected antiques are showcased alongside the living art gallery curated by Rhett Baruch Gallery and Uprise Art. Custom banquettes and local artwork add dimension and contemporary character, while 25-foot curtains reshape the space from intimate to expansive. European polish atop Southern hospitality evokes a distinctive coastal appeal that allows interiors to effortlessly evolve throughout the day. 

Also pulling in ample natural light, accommodations range from cozy petit rooms to signature kings, lofts, and the expansive 536-square-foot Lucile Suite. Original wood floors, steel-framed windows, and vintage furnishings are complemented by handcrafted fixtures and original artwork as well.
