A chic boutique hideaway, it’s a place to languish by the electric blue pool with a cocktail in hand, wondering what to eat later in the Sugar Palm Restaurant, where menus showcase rustic dishes using produce sourced from local farms. Close by is the Sugar Palm Lounge, a magnet for young Angelinos who come for key lime martinis and cool DJ grooves.

The iconic Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach and Main Street with its art galleries, antique shops, restaurants and weekly farmers market are a short stroll away. Guestrooms commanding views of the ocean, pool or the city feature bathrobes, custom beds with down comforters and pillows, luxury amenities, marble bathrooms and soaking tubs.
