Evan Thomas,
General Manager – Kimpton Hotel Wilshire
Evan is proud to lead the team at Kimpton Hotel Wilshire welcoming visitors from around the world to the geographical & cultural center of LA. The hotel’s recent renovation & amenities were curated to celebrate all things LA & Miracle Mile highlighting local small businesses, artists and food & beverage. Known for its breathtaking views from the rooftop restaurant+pool, Hotel Wilshire is the hidden gem of the area blending low-key luxury, heartfelt hospitality & and effortless California-cool style.
A native Angeleno, Evan spent the two decades at some of most iconic & unique hotel properties around California. But Los Angeles has a special place in his heart and will forever be home. Growing up just down the road, some of his earliest memories include shopping at the Farmers Market and being one of the first visitors to the Petersen Automotive Museum. Evan is committed to working with his fellow business leaders to continue the growth of the area & attract visitors from around LA & the world. But all while maintaining the special character & history of the Mile as it celebrates is centennial.
