Located in the former lobby of Los Angeles’s former Hotel Stowell is the recently opened Le Petit Paris restaurant. Part of the ritzy hotel, the original lobby and mezzanine were built in 1913 by architect Frederick Noonan, during a gaudy era when Los Angeles, was referred to as the Wall Street of the West. The bygone hotel was frequented by early 20th-century Hollywood stars, including Charlie Chaplin, who once lived in the building.

In 2013, Cannes-based restaurateurs David and Fanny Rolland decided to repurpose the space, abandoned since the 1980s, into an elegant French eatery. They called in architect and designer Beth Holden, who resurrected the lobby; merging the 102-year-old gold-leafed columns with a Parisian theme of Eiffel Tower–printed wall covering and tubular crystal chandeliers.

“We created a marriage between the Art Deco interior and sustainable modern design,” says Holden. “My team had to flex its muscles to create Le Petit Paris’s new look while navigating between the complex historic structure and the addition of modern amenities necessary to run a restaurant in 2015.”

The look is classically European, but doesn’t feel stuffy or overly slick. Instead, it’s just plain gorgeous, with luscious hues and inviting seating arrangements that cater to whatever reason you’ll want to dine or hang out here.
