Wilshire-Gayley Hotel Plan Reported to be Moving Right Along

As previous posts on this blog have noted, a local developer bought and cleared the old Hollywood video store site at the corner of Wilshire and Gayley with plans to open a new Westwood hotel.


LAObserved reported yesterday that the Wilshire-Gayley plan is moving along, with an architect hired to deal with the odd triangular shape of the site. (There is a further link in the LAObserved article to a more detailed piece on the proposed hotel.)




Readers of this blog will also know that UCLA has been proposing to build a 280-room hotel/conference center where the Faculty Center is now located. If built, that hotel would have to compete for business with existing Westwood-area hotels, possibly including this new one.


In short, in Westwood Village things are moving along. On campus, with money tight, it might be advisable to slow down.
