“That’s what we are excited about — the preservation aspect and bringing things back to life,” said Carolyn Schneider, President and and Partner of Casetta, which owns and operates a small but growing chain of boutique hotels. (The Eastsider)
The exterior historic features of the Romanesque-style building will remain the same. The brand-new Silverlake Hotel leaves no space uncovered in this old-world architectural masterpiece.
The church, initially built in 1931 as Bethany Presbyterian Church, later became the headquarters for the East-West Players, an Asian-American theater company, in the mid-1960s, where they also staged performances, according to L.A. Times reports. By 1980, the church’s predominantly Anglo congregation merged with a rapidly growing Korean congregation, forming the Bethany United Presbyterian Church. The last congregation to hold services there was Pilgrim Church.
Casetta was established by boutique hotel enthusiasts who embraced the challenge of revitalizing properties with rich histories. Their hotels are architecturally unique, sometimes historic, and often undiscovered treasures. They delve into the story of each building, respecting its heritage while crafting modern designs for the future. Working closely with partners and artists, they create spaces that reflect the essence of each location. Casetta also engages with local communities, striving to create distinctive hotels that leave a lasting impression on every guest.

I’ve stayed at Casa Cody, Palm Springs’ oldest operating hotel. Its rich history and requisite hospitality were a rare blend of exactly what I needed to escape the frenetic and addictive pulse of Los Angeles. The Surfrider in Malibu has my attention over the holidays, and I can’t wait to enjoy the Lucile here in Silverlake!
