DESIGN
by murals from LA municipalityapproved artist CJ Hungerman . “ It ’ s not magic , just misdirection ,” Bortz says .
Stripped to its structural bones , the building was opened from end to end so performers and guests are seen and heard . At the entrance , Brian Mock ’ s androgynous Rock Queen sculpture offers a nod to Ziggy Stardust . The lobby lounge ’ s 7 ’ -2 ” -high ceilings were lowered with black-waffle acoustic recording studio baffles , bringing intimacy while emphasizing the golden ‘ 60s millwork and rustic wood floors . Fusing the feel of a ‘ 70s neighborhood record store with an amateur recording studio , it sets the stage for the Backbeat venue where locals perform and the adjacent bar / vinyl library / reception desk .
Managed by Springboard Hospitality , Hotel Ziggy ’ s 108 bohemian guest rooms channel the ‘ 60s with modern-meets-retro furniture and murals inspired by psychedelic album covers , while the pool patio recalls a ‘ 60s herb
Backbeat , a ground-level music venue is designed to support local musicians with an accessible platform to perform
