step inside to find a dreamy Bauhaus-inspired oasis—think desert-hued palette of ochre, sandstone, and grey, mosaic murals, terracotta-tiled floors—
“Here, behind a peaceful courtyard filled with palms sit 48 rooms thoughtfully designed by Brooklyn firm Home Studios and furnished with Revival linens and stocked with Five Wits bath products.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Historic Craftsman homes fill the surrounding residential streets. Along the boulevard, neighborhood bakeries sit steps from contemporary art galleries.
The rooms
Oak paneling and custom rattan wardrobes furnish the bedrooms. Larger suites open onto private patios planted with succulents.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated pool sits in the central courtyard, flanked by brick decking and white fringed parasols.
The gym
The 24-hour gym holds cardio machines and free weights, with space set aside for yoga.
At the table
A long wooden table looks onto the patio, giving guests space to share takeout from neighborhood kitchens.
Inspired by the gestural curves of the Bauhaus, white oak floors and ceilings are muddled with terracotta plaster, fluted textures, warm wood accents and vintage and custom-designed furniture.
