We have stayed at the Shade numerous times over the last several years. Enjoy the close proximity to stores and other activites. The staff has always been very friendly and made us feel welcome. The rooms are nicely decorated and comfortable. The food and bar service is excellent. We will be coming back again soon! More

I hosted a 3 day business meeting at Shade this week. We loved the service, rooms, location, and meeting facilities. We took advantage of the rooftop terrace, zinc lounge, and blue room for business meeting. The hotel is close to great restaurants, shops, the pier, and the beach so once here you don't have to drive. This is the third... More

We were recently visiting family in the South Bay, down from San Francisco. We try and stay at the Shade when we get down South. We give it a five thumbs up! The location is only 15 minutes from LAX, then you enter the Oasis of Manhattan Beach far away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Park the... More

I stayed at the Shade when in LA on business. The rooms are perfect, the food superb and the service 5 star. The breakfast buffet was a huge plus...allowing me to have a great breakfast without interfering with my 10 hours of meetings. One of the finest experiences I've had in the US. More

I stayed at Shade again this weekend, and it did not disappoint! My boyfriend and I stayed in the "Bridal Suite" this time, and it was fantastic. A huge jetted bathtub for two, a shower & steam room for two and a heated towel rack in the bathroom...plus his/her sinks! The Tempur-Pedic bed/pillows were as comfortable as I remember since...

I have nothing but great things to say about this Hotel, the Staff and Zinc Lounge. I have been here multiple times for many reasons and have always had very friendly, prompt, and thorough service. When I held workshops for my business there in the green room they thought of everything for me. They had everything set up on time,... More

The perfect location is only the beginning of the story with Shade Hotel. I have the opportunity to stay at hotels throughout the nation and typically enjoy the boutique establishments because of their unique attention to customer service. The Shade Hotel offers consistent excellence in room quality, cleanliness, keen attention to detail, excellent dining options just to name a few.... More

From the valet, to the front desk, to the room service, every part of my experience was excellent! The front desk attendant was very pleasant and answered all of my questions. She... More
