“A sophisticated hip hotel with modern, cutting-edge monochrome designs. A lively coastal oasis just off Manhattan Beach. Somewhere to chill out and unwind after a day of watersports.”

Hotel review

It’s cool in the Shade. Two blocks from the revitalised Manhattan Beach, this hip hotel has a funky, modern design, sophisticated atmosphere and attentive staff. Choose to sip your martini downstairs in the Zinc, a stunning-looking and lively gathering place for the young beach crowd, or whilst relaxing in the giant Jacuzzi on the Skydeck. Each harmonious, well-designed room has its own espresso-maker, spa tub and luxuriously comfortable bed.
