HOTEL OVERVIEW
Welcome to the first luxury boutique hotel in Manhattan Beach, California. Shade recently 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. "Helping people achieve a sense of balance, harmony and spiritual well-being (in a hyper tasking world of today) is the experience we want to impart to each and every guest," says Executive Design Director, Christopher Lowell.
Complementing the atmosphere is unparalleled personal service. We are waiting to grant your every wish - or just leave you alone. Whatever your heart's desire, you'll find it at Shade.
Sleep....At the beach, that is. Sink into your Tempur-Pedic bed, wrapped in luxurious Mascioni linens, pull up your goosedown duvet and flip through the channels on your flat screen TV. Slide open the balcony doors and let the outdoors in before soundly falling to sleep and tuning out the rest of the world. When the natural light sets with the sun, color-customize your room with our state-of-the-art lighting system. Adjust the chromatherapy feature to soothing blue, vibrant red, or any other color from the rainbow to suit -- or alter -- your mood.
