Equinox Reaches the Palisades
A new Club makes its home in one of LA’s most revered neighborhoods.
Residents of Los Angeles know that it’s often less about the city and more about the neighborhood. Each one has a distinct feel, defined by proximity to downtown or the beach, by the community that calls it home, by the surrounding freeways and hiking trails. The Pacific Palisades is no exception, which is precisely why Equinox jumped at the opportunity to open a new location right where Sunset Boulevard and the Pacific Coast Highway meet.
Equinox took over the former Bay Club after it shuttered a few years ago. The Equinox Development Team had the unique opportunity to fully demo the existing spaces, building out new interiors that pay homage to the historic beach-front neighborhood Equinox will call home.
“For those who visited [Bay Club], nothing is the same,” says Tim Gaiennie, Equinox’s Vice President of Architecture. “We had this opportunity to create a space that feels like Equinox the brand, but also feels unique to the Palisades community and elevated identity — and we did exactly that.”
