The Vibe: A Commitment to Sustainability
At the heart of 1 Hotels is a profound commitment to environmental stewardship.

Here’s a little secret: one of the best spots for an intimate after-hours gathering is 1 Hotel West Hollywood’s Juniper Garden. Filled with native greenery, this outdoor sanctuary in the heart of West Hollywood accommodates up to 100 guests, reception-style. Cascading vines and potted plants surround the space, while mature olive trees rise from a raw-wood planter to create a striking centerpiece. It’s highly functional, tech-forward, bright, and light—perfect for a unique venue experience. And the views? Let’s just say “breathtaking” is a frequent comment.
This commitment to nature extends beyond aesthetics, creating sustainable event spaces where every element, from design to experience, aligns with the environment.
