Welcome to the first luxury boutique hotel in Manhattan Beach, California. Listed as Conde Nast Traveler #6 reason to visit LA and as the area's newest hip corner, Shade also 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.
