Shade provided one of my most memorable experiences in Manhattan Beach. Ken at the front desk was personable and accomodating. After bumming around at the beach all day my boyfriend and I decided to get food and drinks in the lobby bar ZINC. What a treat! Fun cocktails and great food! The atmoshere was reaxing and inviting. Even though we... More

Beautiful hotel and rooms with a great bar scene. The staff was very accommodating and informative about the area. Especially Samantha who took care of us in the Zinc Lounge and informed us where to enjoy Manhattan Beach afterwards. I met Jeffrey who is part of the hotel and he took great care of me. I would highly recommend this... More

Stayed at the Shade on an overnight. Nice hotel and great service. The room is well appointed and comfortable. Manhattan Beach looks like fun! I walked down main street to the pier and it was full of happy people and tons of restaurants and I even saw young kids skateboarding around with friends after dark like it was the safest... More

Every single person I asked for a suggestion on something went above... More

If only every little beach community had one of these. Yes it's an aspiring glam boutique small hotel like you might find in Miami Beach, but it's more like the feeling of living in a Melrose Place. Group living, communal living, ideas not viable on the East coast seems possible in Manhattan Beach California and at The Shade Hotel you... More

My husband wasn't told you had to book the massage ahead of time, so they were booked when we arrived on Saturday at 1pm. The champagne/strawberries was delivered... More

I stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks after my son had stayed several times last year. In the idyllic setting of Manhattan Beach, this hotel has its own real charm. The bedroom was beautifully designed, I loved my daily jacuzzi bath, and every comfort has been thought of. It's a busy, lively hotel but I had a real sense... More

My mother and I spent Thanksgiving weekend at the Shade. We chose it for the location, and on that front, it really can't be beat. It's just a few blocks up from the ocean and right around the corner from great shopping and restaurants. I love the community of Manhattan Beach and the Shade drops you right in the midst... More

This is THE place to stay in Manhattan Beach/South Bay. A serenely intimate sea breezy design that makes the exclusive not pretentious. Superb food and beverage from the Zislis Group perfectly complements a guest room that looks as good inside as the views to the outside. Valentines Day, here we come!
