Shade is a sun-drenched blend of by-gone beach scene and daring West Coast design aesthetic in a habitual L.A.-area hot spot. The 38 rooms are both ultracomfy and intriguing, with goose-down duvets, two-person hydrotherapy bathtubs, and state-of-the-art margarita blenders; some have tubular fireplaces for those chilly winter nights at the beach. The lobby and Zinc Lounge offer a modern take on maritime decor, with seafoam-green fabrics and chandeliers fashioned from sea urchin shells. There is no restaurant per se, but Shade's kitchen turns out tasty small plates like Brie-and-artichoke fondue. Head up to the rooftop Skydeck, where a tiny pool affords views that extend from Catalina Island to the Malibu mountains.
