8497 Sunset will be a gathering place for global influencers at the forefront of the food and entertainment businesses. The iconic building by Hodgetts + Fung will showcase a national-caliber hospitality experience on three floors of indoor and outdoor spaces. With multi-functional spaces that will flow seamlessly from restaurants of the highest caliber to cutting edge work spaces, 8497 Sunset will bring together food, design, and service to appeal to global innovators in entertainment, tech, media, and finance.

Previous generations of Angelenos had the California Club and Soho House, private-membership clubs where local leaders mingled in self-enclosed enclaves. Today’s flat-world influencers seek open-access collaborations across multiple disciplines and industries. They crave mobility, flexibility, creative interaction, design innovation, fluent networking, and global thinking. Their world is (post)-office, where companies are run off of laptops, and the three floors of 8497 Sunset are their gathering place. The question for today’s hospitality is “how can we create an experience for you?” At 8497 Sunset, the building’s use is individualized to the visitor’s needs.
