Hyde Lounge

Hyde Lounge lies behind a discreet wooden door and minimalist stone storefront on Sunset Boulevard. The creation of Sam Nazarian, the reigning royalty of Los Angeles nightlife, has quickly become a sought-after address on Saturday nights.

The interior is regally appointed, with a first-floor lounge featuring leather and crocodile-trimmed upholstery with oversized Monkeywood tables under a pounded-copper ceiling that shimmers in the light of candles suspended from the iridescent walls.
