Suffolk-Built Tommie and Thompson Hotels Win Los Angeles Business Council’s 52nd Annual Architechtural Award of Excellence

The visionary pair of Hollywood boutique hotels was recognized for their excellence in architectural design in hospitality

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Suffolk, one of the most innovative and successful builders and real estate enterprises in the country, announced that its two Hollywood hotels, Tommie and Thompson, have won the Los Angeles Business Council’s (LABC) 52^nd Annual Architectural Award of Excellence in the Hospitality category. The project was honored at an award ceremony in Beverly Hills, hosted by the LABC on December 1.

“This year the LABC is honoring projects that exemplify a new model of architecture, one that not only excels in design and execution but also has a meaningful impact in their communities,” said Mary Leslie, president of the L.A. Business Council.

The Tommie and Thompson Hotels were selected from a group of 150 submissions for their inventive designs, amenities, and exemplification of architecture’s unique power to build community. Submissions competed in categories ranging from education and healthcare to housing and commercial office space.

“We’re delighted to see these hotels are getting the acclaim we feel they deserve,” said Jim Stanley, Chief Operating Officer of Suffolk Los Angeles. “Design, especially in the hospitality sector, is an art form and science all at once, and we love seeing our talented team highlighted through honors like LACB’s Architectural Award.”

Owned by Relevant Group and designed by Steinberg Hart, the hotels rise above Sunset Boulevard and silhouette against the Hollywood Hills, core to the Los Angeles skyline. The two hotels bring a breath of fresh air to the iconic Sunset Boulevard in historic Hollywood, boasting over 400 guest rooms between the two venues. The Tommie hotel draws inspiration from 1950s and 1960s homes, evident through their textured stone, floor-to-ceiling windows, and oak floors. The Thompson’s sleek glass design hints at the elegance and sophistication found within its luxury rooms and suites. At their base, each hotel features retail shops, a bar and restaurants.

Construction for the hotels began in 2018 and was completed in late 2021, with the Suffolk team working diligently to bring Relevant Group’s vision to life, leveraging their interactive technology solutions to provide a collaborative project planning experience to clients and partners alike. Suffolk continues to expand their award-winning hospitality portfolio with multiple builds across Southern California.
