Brooks + Scarpa’s design evokes, through colours such as cobalt blue, orange or greens that complement the woods and fresh white metals, the character and personality of the Californian coast. While a large curved and folded canopy of steel and aluminium, “The Cove” recalls and resembles the curvature of the waves.
With an extensive program dedicated to leisure thanks to complementary spaces such as one of the largest luxury pools in California, an outdoor grill, a complete commercial area, a greenhouse, luxurious private daybeds and lounge seating on terraces, “The Cove” generates a new experience of urban relaxation for guests.

Project description by Brooks + Scarpa
Situated on more than 8,000 sqm (2-acres) of the sprawling 48,500 sqm (12-acre) Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, The Cove is an outdoor space that evokes the carefree and lively spirit of Southern California. As one of California’s largest luxury pool concepts, The Cove features a steel-clad outdoor bar and grill with a full commercial kitchen, IT space, private showers and bathrooms, three whirlpool spas, a grand pool, terraced lounge seating, luxe private daybeds, swaying hammocks flanked by towering date palm trees, a raised bocce ball court, a working greenhouse for private wellness experiences and an outdoor restaurant and bar. It also includes the re-imagination of the existing greenhouse into a organic dining experience. The nearly € 18.100.000 (USD 20 million) pool, restaurant and bar project set among the picturesque Santa Monica Mountains.
"The Cove" evokes the character and personality of the glistening coastline. Colours such as cobalt blue, turquoise, burnt orange and greens compliment teak woods and fresh white metals, while the vaulted white and aluminum steel canopy, an architectural fixture of The Cove, resembles the curvature of a rhythmic ocean wave. As the sun sets on The Cove, tiki torches and a forty-foot-long fire wall illuminate the space at golden hour, adding to the warm glow and ambient setting.
“The Cove Pool, Kitchen & Bar will change the way guests experience our best-in-class urban retreat Hotel.
It is our hope that when guests journey to us, they find an idyllic life, full of character and personality – a warm and welcoming environment to relax and celebrate in a one-of-a-kind SoCal setting.”
Robert Cima, Regional Vice President and General Manager.
