We have stayed at the Shade numerous times in the past 3 years and never stay anywhere else. It is very clean and has beautiful and modern decor. The staff, from reception to housecleaning is excellent, friendly and always willing to do whatever it takes to make your stay fabulous and memorable. It is located right in the middle of... 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...

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

My experience at Shade was unforgettable! The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful. They treated me like family and made sure that my every need was fulfilled. 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

Shade is an easy ride from LAX and positioned near to great shops, the beach, restaurants and cafes. The hotel staff were delightful and very willing to assist with any request, rooms very comfortable and bed was great. Breakfast was included or an a la carte available. We found the Valet parking at $20 per night good value compared to... More

I just love this hotel. I usually do a yearly r-t-w trip out of Asia which almost always includes a stopover in LA. I first decided to stay at the Shade because it was on the Tablet Hotel list (I always enjoy Tablet or Kimpton Hotels; more eclectic and boutique-oriented). The hotel did not disappoint and I have made a... More

I found the reservation staff to be extremely accommodating. They really went the extra mile to fulfill my needs and went beyond what most hotels would have done for me. That alone will have me returning as a satisfied guest. They have earned my business. BTW, it was Sean that helped me so nicely. More
