Bringing New York sensibilities to Los Angeles, ONE Sunset makes its mark in West Hollywood. As the sister restaurant to ONE Manhattan in, you guessed it, New York, this Sunset Strip eatery offers up New American cuisine amidst its sultry lounge with Spanish and North African inspired designs.
Concept
ONE Sunset was designed by Lionel Ohayon of New York’s ICRAVE Design Studio with a best of both worlds feel. Divided into different areas, ONE Sunset offers a sophisticated and relaxing dining space, as well as a hip, bustling bar and lounge area. With tunes spun by top DJs and wait-staff uniforms designed by Project Runway winner Jeffrey Sebelia, One Sunset is a happening place to enjoy a meal or just sip a few cocktails.
Private Parties
As the restaurant is separated into distinct areas, ONE Sunset is a perfect place for private events. Offering space that can accommodate up to 400 people, this dining and nightspot provides several bar and lounge areas that can be as private or open as the host prefers. With the Upper Candle Lounge situated in the back of the restaurant, parties can be assured total privacy, complete with their very own VIP entrance. For those who like to be right in the thick of things, there are more open spots available that can be sectioned off, but still allow for easy access to the rest of the action.
