“What stands out is a dedication to creating an experience reminiscent of a European urban apartment, extending to pet-friendly policies and bespoke amenities. The location places guests near the beach and Third Street Promenade, while the hotel itself offers a seasonal menu sourced from local farmers. In my opinion, this creates a blend of relaxed beachside living with distinctly European sensibilities.”
