<p>After many delays, new owners and a rebrand, The Jeremy hotel on Sunset is finally ready for its close up.</p>

Years of menacing traffic construction on the corner of LaCienega and Sunset, have finally produced a chic new hotel project by designers Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The Jeremy encompasses 50 suites and two penthouse suites amid the 286-room layout. Connecting the two building towers is an LED-lit ethereal Dream Catcher installation by Walter Barry, which just might distract from the rooftop views that span from downtown to Santa Monica.

But it wasn’t so easy building the latest luxury hotel in West Hollywood– one that has not graced this area in years. The project, which started out as a Chicago and New York transplant, The James, was in a state of flux for many months before the Starwood Capital Group’s acquisition swooped in and took over to save the development, and to finally get the hotel up and running, renaming it The Jeremy in the process. “Jeremy” is a fictional character fashioned after a cool guy who has his pulse on the best of what the city has to offer and can get anything you desire–even a mood–enhancing latte in the afternoon when you need a pick me up. Actually, that cup of Joe will be coming from celebrity roaster J. Gursey Coffee (Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise are fans). The artisan program will feature fair-trade coffee and teas from around the world and signature drinks exclusive to the hotel such as a cherry blossom latte and Nitro draft coffee on tap made in-house.
