Shade

Description:

Shade is more than just a place to rest your head, it’s a sensory experience.  Part beach retreat, part party zone, this sexy sanctuary has just the right mix for an unforgettable getaway.  The collection of rooms features chromatherapy lighting allowing guests to control the mood with the flick of a switch.  Other en suite amenities include Sanijet spas, a Pillow Library, and Lavazza espresso machines for those who wish to assume the role of barista.  At night locals and visitors tend to mingle inside Zinc, the hotel’s restaurant and lounge where a long list of small plates are paired with some rather tasty subzero martinis.  By dawn’s early light, guests are queuing up for the complimentary breakfast buffet before staking claim to a poolside lounger.  Manhattan Beach’s charming village, located just beyond Shade’s front door, also beckons with its fleet of boutiques and sidewalk cafes.
