Forbes Travel Guide
2026
The rooms have a rather nautical feel to them — appropriate considering all of the beautiful yachts docked just outside.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Strand coastal path runs just outside, offering miles of cycling paths north toward Venice Beach and Santa Monica.
The rooms
Private balconies open toward docked yachts or city skyline views, paired with marble bathrooms and classic dark wood furnishings.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa
Treatment rooms host Sisley Paris phyto-aromatic facials, accompanied by eucalyptus steam rooms and a candlelit relaxation lounge.
Dogs stay too.
