NoHo Arts District Has Hit Its Boutique Hotel Phase

With some new pricey, resorty apartments just opened, you knew the next phase for the North Hollywood Arts District couldn't be far behind. That's right, it's boutique hotel time. So here comes Ikon Hospitality with a plan to build a 43-room hotel on the site of shuttered restaurant Maximillian's, just west of Lankershim. Plans are still in the early stages, but NoHo Patch says they've already won support from the neighborhood council land use committee. Designed by Orange County firm nKlosures, the four-story hotel will have "luxurious modern accommodations with deluxe amenities that include private patios and a resort style pool." It will also provide space for local artists to display their work.
