WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif.
The Los Angeles-based Paligroup has announced the opening of its newest hotel property, Palihouse Santa Monica, debuting in the beachside community in summer 2013, joining its two existing signature hotel properties—Palihouse West Hollywood and Palihotel Melrose.
The 36-room boutique beach lodge is in a Spanish Colonial Revival-style building that formerly housed The Embassy Hotel Apartments. It has been in operation since 1927 and boasts classic examples of Moorish-influenced Mediterranean Revival Architecture throughout, all meticulously maintained over the course of several decades. In 2001, the property was deemed a historic landmark by the City of Santa Monica.
The hotel’s grand lobby features original historic al fresco ceilings, Malibu Tile floors, a grand wood-burning fireplace and blown glass doors that open onto a private outdoor patio. The space will be home to the “Palihouse Lobby Lounge” that will welcome guests with a café concept by day and a carefully curated cocktail and lounge menu for the afternoon and evening.
The property will feature four room categories: Classic Guest Suites (ranging in size from 300-500 square feet), Studio Residences (600-750 square feet), One Bedroom Residences (870-1120 square feet) and Two Bedroom Residences (1450-2850 square feet). Most rooms feature an authentic pied à terre layout, complete with fully equipped kitchens, separate vanity rooms, walk-in closets, and statuesque windows, all reminiscent of European-style urban apartments. Additional amenities include complimentary wireless and hard-wired Internet access in each room, personal refrigerator-stocking services, Dean & Deluca minibar treats, 40” Samsung flat-screen televisions, and luxurious European bedding.
Among the property’s private event spaces will be a lobby lounge, attractive courtyard and elegant garden.
