About Maison 140
Old-world Asian influences meet contemporary Parisian delights at Maison 140 Beverly Hills. This quaint boutique hotel's striking décor transports guests to an old Left Bank inn, yet ceaselessly intrigues with inflections of Eastern mystique. The classic brick façade, complete with dormers, potted topiaries and signature red-lacquered doors, serves as a warm respite from bustling Beverly Hills. Interior designer Kelly Wearstler has created a powerful blend of texture, color and pattern, mixing classic elements with Chinoiserie, 1920s styling and 1970s modernism. Each of the 43 guestrooms is a unique creation unto itself, with one-of-a-kind antiques, custom furniture and Italian linens. Thick, rich mohair throws drape the occasional Louis XVI chair for the regal feeling of a cozy home. Original artwork by Joshua Elias was commissioned for each room. The intimate Bar Noir is a stylish meeting spot for hotel guests and Beverly Hills locals alike, in a palette of black, white and crimson, custom-designed elements and Parisian antiques.
