Sydell Group | The Line Hotel

Project

A newly-restored and fully renovated structure, the Line Hotel features re-imagined public spaces and guest rooms. The hotel resides alongside Koreatown’s famous pre-1940s buildings in a neighborhood that boasts Southern California’s highest concentration of restaurants, bars, and round-the-clock businesses.

Challenge

Establish a design direction for the fitness amenity that complements the hotel’s urban edge.

Solution

Through the use of a monochromatic color pallet and an exposed cement infrastructure, the exercise space evokes a downtown-modern aesthetic. The predominately minimalist space features multifunctional Kinesis stations with varied and uninterrupted movements, encouraging a compact yet purposeful workout. The Technogym® cardiovascular offering promotes rapid user-adaptability for guests of all levels, with iPod compatible, on-screen entertainment for mid-workout web streaming and social networking.

Accommodating an eclectic demographic, the weight training space features a dynamic custom workout pulley, adjacent to a poolside terrace that overlooks the city.
