Palilhouse Santa Monica

I’ve profiled the other two Palihouse hotels in the past so I was thrilled to see that a new location is opening this June in Santa Monica. This area of LA has remained curiously void of boutique hotels that aren’t priced in the luxury range. The third location of Avi Brosh’s chain is destined to be a hit.

The building itself is a gorgeous three storey Spanish Colonial classic. It was originally built in 1927 and in 2001 it was named a local historic landmark. The 36 rooms have been decked out in traditional Palihouse style but with a beach-inspired casual twist.

Classic features likes wallpaper and vintage furniture are paired with chic painted gray cabinetry. Most rooms are large suites featuring large kitchens and walk-in closets and the entire hotel features more outdoor space than either of the other two locations.

The hotel is scheduled to open in June and is slated to feature an open air coffee shop and wine bar.

I received some awful news today and I am experiencing a funny shift in priorities because of it. Death is a funny thing, striking those you least expect when you least expect it. It makes you pause for a moment and re-evaluate your surroundings. So I am glad for the coming long weekend and for spending some quality time with friends and family. Take a moment this weekend and look around you. You are loved, I promise, and that is more important than all the little things that cause us stress every day. I will back on Monday. xoxo

Happy Beltane! I cannot believe it’s May. This past year has flown by so fast. A year ago, I was preparing to move and two years ago, I was trotting around Australia and neither of those things seem that far in the past. This has been a week of amazing coincidence, reflection, love and luck. I am hoping for more of the same this weekend only with the added bonus of some premature summer weather. Bring on the sunglasses! Hope you all have a great one. xo
