Palihouse Santa Monica (1001 3rd St Santa Monica, 90403; 310.394.1279) is the new sister to the West Hollywood location. The new boutique hotel is perfect for long-stay guests with rooms that include full-service kitchens, separate vanity areas, and walk-in closets.
Hotelier/designer Avi Brosh came up with a quirky decor scheme with sea monster-themed wallpaper and blue velvet couches all inside the Spanish colonial-style building with Juliet balconies, wood crown moldings.
When you’re hungry, head to the lobby lounge for food like matzo ball soup and classic Cobb salad. You can work it off in the courtyard for a round of bocce ball.
