I have stayed at Shade Hotel at least 10 times over the past 2 years. It is one of my favorite hotels to stay at and I have stayed in luxury hotels around the world. From the moment you walk in you feel peace and tranquillity. It is a beautiful hotel and the rooms are amazing. The jacuzzi tub is... More

I stayed at Shade for only one night and I enjoyed it very much. As a young woman, I enjoyed being able to walk to the nightlife and many bars with friends and make our way back for a night cap at the hotel bar before bed. Great and friendly staff with comfortable accommodations. The room was lush with comfortable... More

I stayed at Shade for 3 nights for business. The hotel was having its first annual beer fest when I arrived and for being a guest, I received complementary tickets. The event was only 3 hours and was totally cleaned up by the evening. The staff was fantastic, the rooms were pure chic and unique with the sliding doors and... More

Sublime bedding (I loved the bed and the pillows -- my husband hated the pillows), great location, good service, nice continental breakfast, yummy little cupcakes in the evening, brought to the room. Shade looks just like the photographs. Could use a comfortable reading chair, rooftop deck looks better in the photos, and a few problems with the drain on the... More

Recently my husband and I stayed at the Shade Hotel. The, food, service, the care, the attitude on the part of the staff were all perfect. I asked the owner what he did to achieve a consistent attitude of neutral loving service. He thanked me for picking up exactly what he fosters in his training - "to make our quests... More

Stayed one night while on business, wish I could have stayed longer. Location was great, a few blocks from the water and lots of shops and restaurants right around the corner. The staff was very friendly and made you feel welcome, front desk to the bartender were great. The room was comfortable, clean, and well appointed. I loved the shower,... More

Top notch staff. Fantastic, central location. Easy stroll to all the excellent restaurants, bars and shopping in downtown Manhattan Beach. Rooms are impressive with upgraded temperpedic beds/pillows and separate hot tub style tub and shower. The bathroom area closes off with screens which gives the room a japanese kind of feel. 24 hour room service available and 10 minutes from... More

Super friendly service (front desk and bar) to make you feel at home, great tucked away location close to the beach, shops and restaurants, wonderful breakfast included which you can help yourself to and enjoy out on the sunny terrace. And all so close to LAX. Never staying at another LA airport hotel again. More

Stayed here for two nights in February for business and was very happy with the service and comfort of the Shade Hotel. Rooms are a good size, the bed & pillows are all temperpudeic (which was a first for me, but ended up being quite comfortable) and the staff was very friendly and courteous. Close by to all the shops,... More
