The Beverly Hills Planning Commission voted on June 23 to – in a manner of speaking – raise the roof of the SIXTY Hotel on Wilshire Boulevard. The Commission renewed permits for the boutique hotel’s rooftop lounge, Above SIXTY, granting it an extended hours permit. The item ran into opposition from some neighbors who worried about the noise impact the operation could have on the adjacent residential area.
The Planning Commission renewed the establishment’s conditional use permit and extended hours permit. Under the permits, Above SIXTY can operate until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, and until 12 a.m. on other nights. The lounge can host up to 12 events per year that last until 2 a.m. on nights other than Friday and Saturday. Above SIXTY is permitted to have a maximum occupancy of 165 people, excluding staff.
