Away from the crowd at the Hall at Palihouse Holloway

IF you haven't driven past the section of West Hollywood's Holloway Drive where it joins Santa Monica Boulevard lately, you're in for a surprise. Seemingly overnight, an impressive building housing an extended-stay hotel with a condo wing has sprouted up. That's Palihouse Holloway. Inside is the new brasserie in town, the Hall restaurant. With no presence on the street and no sign, you'd never know it was there if you hadn't heard about it beforehand.
