    “Le design intérieur est vraiment incroyable et vraiment sympa chaque fois que vous y entrez. Il est centrale et très pratique si vous vous déplacez entre Malibu, Santa Monica et Venice Beach. Toujours un peu de monde dans le lobby ce qui le rend vivant et donne une belle atmosphère. Le roof top est super également.”

    “Great experience - stylish hotel with great facilities in a good location. The fitness facilities are very good - great gym, courses available for guests. There are a small number of bikes available for free use. Calabra was very good, it is on the rooftop, so there is a kind-of view, more inland to the Hollywood Hills than to the beach, but it was quite cramped (small tables, close together, no room at the bar before the meal).”

  • Definitivamente um ponto confortável em Santa Mônica
