Experience MELROSEPLACE

One of Los Angeles’ most famous streets is the iconic Melrose Place, known to most outside of the city from its namesake ‘90s TV show. Local Angelenos are fans of the block thanks to its jewelry stores, coffee shops and designer boutiques that include international names like Balmain, Marni and Oscar de la Renta. There will soon be a new dining addition to the luxurious strip with the opening of MELROSEPLACE Restaurant and Rooftop.




The Location

This new, 8,000 square foot addition to West Hollywood is located just off of La Cienega Boulevard in an area already bustling due to the variety of dining and nightlife destinations nearby. MELROSEPLACE will be taking over the former home of The Allbright, a private, women’s club that closed during the pandemic. MELROSEPLACE plans to take inspiration from the previous brand in making the new venue an all-in-one destination for leisure.

The Venue

The three-story building will have a different feel to each floor, offering a bevy of in-house services and experiences. The ground floor is reserved for shops and businesses, with MELROSEPLACE Nail Salon opening first to provide premium nail art services. Additional stores and casual dining options will also soon be added to the lineup of street level destinations.

The second floor will provide multiple environments for guests to dine throughout the day. A cafe will be opening as a daytime hangout for coffee and bites. The MELROSEPLACE restaurant will be the crown jewel of the building, with light and luxurious furnishings bringing in a distinctly coastal feel. Both indoor and patio seating will be available for guests to enjoy the alluring menu of California-inspired dishes. Alongside dinner will be a thoughtful cocktail program by the talents of Umbrella Hospitality Group, with creative beverages to complement the food menu or to enjoy at the venue’s bar seating.

Plans for a lively rooftop lounge are in the works for the third level, joining the ranks of nearby rooftop destinations like Harriet’s Rooftop, Skybar and E.P. & L.P. The rooftop bar is expecting to make its debut just in time for guests to take in the sunshine during Summer 2022.




Sunset Collective

The minds behind MELROSEPLACE are Sunset Collective, a group with an impressive combined history in entrepreneurship, Los Angeles nightlife and hospitality. Costas Charalambous, Shyon Keoppel, and Stafford Schlitt came together to breathe new life into Los Angeles’ post-quarantine hospitality landscape. Charalambous is known in the industry as one of the founding members of SBE, a Los Angeles hospitality company where he also served as president. MELROSEPLACE will join Sunset Collective’s growing roster of venues which also includes the ultra-exclusive lounge Offsunset. While the latter destination prides itself in maintaining a limited guest list, MELROSEPLACE will allow for a more inclusive style, hoping to draw in guests from all over Los Angeles to experience the space.
