Welcome

Welcome to Shade, Manhattan Beach’s only luxury boutique hotel, located fifteen minutes from LAX and two blocks from the beach. It’s the perfect destination to enjoy a sunny beachside vacation, treat your hardworking staff to a functional yet fashionable business meeting, throw the wedding or event of your dreams, and experience the thriving South Bay surf cities.

Condé Nast Traveler listed Shade as the #6 reason to visit LA, and honored Manhattan Beach as LA’s newest hip corner. With its ideal Southern California location, guests can easily enjoy scenic drives to The Staples Center and Downtown LA Live, partake in movie magic backlot tours at Raleigh Studios, or see the beautifully expansive Pacific Ocean by strolling down to the Manhattan Beach Pier or The Strand.

Stemming from owner and restaurateur Michael Zislis’ visionary take on personal service, our staff go above and beyond to ensure your experience is nothing less than stellar. With upscale dining, shopping, and sightseeing all within a close distance, Shade guarantees you an unforgettable stay.

Inside and out, Shade was built to provide the best of everything, with every detail considered for your comfort and enjoyment. From Zinc Restaurant and Lounge to the Skydeck, from the Heat & Glo™ Cyclone Fireplaces to the Tempur-Pedic™ bed, you will see evidence of our utmost concern for our guests. Set the mood by taking advantage of our chromatherapy lighting system as you slowly unwind in your personal Sanijet™ spa. Relax and churn an espresso with your in-room Lavazza™ machine or drift away after choosing the perfect headrest from our Pillow Library. You’ll find this attention to detail in our people too. Our staff considers it their privilege to ensure your pleasure. 24/7, we’re here for you.
