Shade

Come experience California's Manhattan Beach in its first luxury boutique hotel where you'll find great service and state-of-the-art facilities that will make your stay unique and memorable.

Listed as Conde Nast Traveler number 6 reason to visit LA and as the area's newest hip corner, Shade also landed on the prestigious Conde Nast Traveler's Hot List for 2007. One of just 19 U.S. properties to make the Hot List, Shade is a cool retreat after a long day at the office or a hot day at the beach. An exquisite environment designed to maximize comfort and inspire relaxation while capturing the essence of coastal living.

The Shade is where you'll find numerous activities to indulge in, but thanks to your location close to Los Angeles, you can always decide to catch a show or a game at one of the many world famous venues LA has to offer. Nonetheless, the pristine beaches' appeal never fades, as sun-worshippers and surfers alike find their enjoyment on this Californian seashore.

Shade presents a variety of opportunities to indulge the palate. Zinc's distinctive small plates menu and unique wine preservation system - by which a large selection of fine international wines are offered by the glass - offer a unique dining experience for Manhattan Beach. Fresh Mojitos, Margaritas and Martinis in the rarified atmosphere of the Skydeck can only compare to a sumptuous feast delivered to enjoy in the privacy of your own room.

Manhattan Beach is synonymous with casual California beach culture. With a rich history of surfing, beach volleyball, Strand bicycle cruising and plain old sun-worshipping, it has always been an exclusive spot to relax and unwind. In the last decade, development has inspired a coastal renaissance. Manhattan Beach has become the place to dine, shop, and now sleep in style.
