The Prospect Hollywood
Maximalist Old Hollywood glamour. Ultra-saturated colors, bold wallpapers, leopard prints, Chinoiserie, brass canopy beds. This is the opposite of minimalist — every surface is doing something. The red front door is the first clue.

Why It Matters
The only hotel in Whitley Heights — the historic neighborhood where Rudolph Valentino, Jean Harlow, and Charlie Chaplin once lived. Martyn Lawrence Bullard (one of AD's top 100 designers globally) personally designed every room. Holds a Michelin Key for both 2024 and 2025. Featured in Architectural Digest, Condé Nast Traveler Hot List, Vogue, The New York Times, and Elle Décor.
A 1939 Hollywood Regency building on a quiet residential street in Whitley Heights, rescued from serious disrepair and transformed by celebrity designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard for Common Thread Hotels. Just 24 rooms, each individually decorated and named after a Hollywood icon — think Bette Davis, James Dean, Judy Garland. The lobby announces itself with malachite, gilded palm trees, and harlequin marble. Then you step into the courtyard with its ancient fountains and fireplaces, and the rest of Hollywood feels very far away.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Deluxe
Steps up in space — 325 sqft — but carries the same Bullard DNA: king bed with Revival New York linens, glass-encased shower, Diptyque amenities, garden views. The extra square footage gives the sitting area more breathing room. Same minibar, Derek Rose robes, and smart entertainment setup as the Superior.
King
Grand Premier
The top of the range at 375 sqft. Same clawfoot tub and double vanity setup as the Premier, but the Grand Premier adds a kitchenette — making it a solid choice for longer stays or anyone who wants to feel more at home. Bullard pulled out all the stops here; press images frequently feature this room (the Architectural Digest France feature specifically called out the claw-foot tub and Candice Held wallpaper). Two of these exist on the property.
King
Premier
The step up here is the bathroom — a clawfoot tub joins the glass-encased shower, and double vanity sinks make morning routines far less fraught. At 350 sqft, the layout is notably more spacious. Same Bullard-designed bones, Revival New York linens, Diptyque amenities, and Derek Rose robes.
King
Superior
The entry-level room, and still very much a design statement. King bed with Revival New York linens, a glass-encased shower with Diptyque bath amenities, and garden views. At 250 sqft it's intimate but not cramped. Full-size minibar stocked with vintage crystal and locally curated products, Derek Rose London bathrobes, and an in-room entertainment system that pairs with Spotify, iTunes, and Netflix. An ADA-accessible version of this room type is available.
