Sensibility on Sunset

We are a group of local residents, business owners, and stakeholders in West Hollywood who believe in responsible development.  

The proposed demolition and replacement of the Viper Room with a 161-foot, exclusive 5-star hotel, with a rooftop bar and pools, reduced parking, ballroom and event space, 5 new restaurants, spa, helicopter landing pad, and luxury apartments located at 8850 Sunset Boulevard is a DISASTER! 

Make your voice heard. Share with your neighbors, bring a friend and SHOW UP to the Public Hearing on April 18th! - Sensibility on Sunset
