The Cultural Heritage Commission voted to recommend the designation of the Hollywood Premiere Motel as a Historic-Cultural Monument. Located at 5329-5337 West Hollywood Boulevard and 1716-1718 North Serrano Avenue in Los Angeles, this action aims to preserve a significant example of a 1960s motel. The two-story motel, constructed in 1960 and designed by architect Joyce Miller, features a Mid-Century Modern architectural style with a prominent Googie-style neon sign. The property, including its C-shaped plan around a central parking lot and a pool, exemplifies auto tourism architecture. It was identified as eligible due to its historical and cultural significance to Hollywood and its distinctive construction style. The designation prevents future incompatible alterations and demolition by regulating construction activities under the Los Angeles Administrative Code and aligning with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Historic Properties. The Commission's decision was a 4-0 vote. The property contains 42 units and approximately 18,323 SF of building area on a 0.617-acre site.
