Hotel Lucile, Casetta's newest property, opens late summer 2026 in the heart of Silver Lake, Los Angeles. Housed in a landmark 1931 church, this 25-room boutique hotel blends preserved original details — stained glass, soaring wood beams, choir loft — with a restaurant, bar, rooftop, pool, and a rotating program of art and community events. We're building the opening team now and looking for people who want to help bring this space to life.
