Pop-art courtyard roost
A high-energy Venice crash pad turns communal living outside into the sun, wrapping games, courtyard hammocks, and loud graphic murals together.
Where it shines
Notable
Pop-art guest rooms display vibrant accent walls beside custom murals by Robert Vargas.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Washington Boulevard places you a quick pedal from Abbot Kinney Boulevard's indie boutiques, the tranquil Venice Canals, and the lively oceanfront boardwalk.
The rooms
Crash Pad Suites overlook the courtyard with separate sitting areas, paint-splattered accent walls, bright yellow trim, and retro rotary phones.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated outdoor plunge pool and raised whirlpool hot tub sit beneath a painted swimmer mural.
The gym
Treadmills, an elliptical, and a weight machine equip the carpeted fitness room for daily workouts.
How it began
The property was transformed in 2016 from a mid-century motor lodge, unveiling a massive exterior mural of Venice skate legend Tony Alva.
