Super-contemporary design makes this hotel, rooftop pool, and Skydeck feel like an adults-only playground, and it's just a short walk to the shoreline, the local pier, and Manhattan Beach's lively downtown. Rooms come with features like luxe linens, a rolling desk that can be used in bed or on its own, a heavenly freestanding tub or sunken whirlpool bath surrounded by a movable shoji-like screen, a sculptural fireplace or daybed, and overhead "chromatherapy" lighting that changes color via digital touch plates. Enjoy meals and "Shade Hour" deals in the indoor-outdoor Zinc Lounge; the space also hosts DJs on weekend nights, and serves signature cocktails among the firepit tables.

  • Passes to Equinox gym
  • "chromatherapy" lighting
