Shade is a luxury boutique hotel situated on California's famous Manhattan Beach. Hailed as a coastal oasis, Shade is a stylish establishment boasting contemporary décor and state-of-the-art facilities. What really makes this hotel stand out, aside from its beautiful location, are its extra features and little details like the chromatheraphy lighting systems in the rooms and relaxation pool. If you can tear yourself away from the fabulous Shade you'll find the Pier and ocean are not far away.

The facilities

Take some well-earned chill-out time on the roof-top Sky Deck and admire the beautiful views of Manhattan Beach or take a dip in the relaxation pool. If you want a slight change of scenery visit Shade's Spa partner, Trilogy, situated just opposite the hotel and indulge yourself with various massages and treatments. There are also several spaces to accommodate business meetings, private parties and other events.

The rooms
