“Wonderlust”
- as the W Hotels printed on their CDs located in every guest room and on some banners at the newly designed building – has reached vibrant,
glitzy Hollywood in the process of redefining itself.

The impressive complex comprised of the W Hotels and the W Residences, apart from pretty much any hotel service you can think of, features something unusual for Los Angeles and maybe for most city center hotels: a subway
station.

Maybe not that surprising since the 10 years in the making 15-story, $600-million development, is built on land owned by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

The result of this marriage is a dazzling mix of W’s signature chic lounges, impressively designed residences (ideal of partying and being glamorous)
and a subway plaza complete with cops arresting people and workers waiting at bus stations.

On January 29th, 2010, Gatehouse Capital and HEI Hotels & Resorts (W Hollywood’s Development Partnership) gathered with city leaders,
project collaborators and LA tastemakers to celebrate the completion of this iconic $350 million Hollywood property, and christen the beginning of a second Golden Age at Hollywood & Vine.

Late Night Host Jimmy Kimmel played Master of Ceremonies, Singer/Songwriter
Robin Thicke sang, and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Gatehouse Capital President & CEO Marty Collins, Los Angeles City Council President Eric Garcetti, HEI Hotels & Resorts Chief Investment Officer Clark, Hanrattie Legacy
Partners Vice President Ed Kirk, MTA Chief Executive Art Leahy, W Hollywood General Manager Jim McPartlin, MTA Board Chair Ari Najarian Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky were presesent for the event.
