\u201cWe wanted to design a\u00a0hotel\u00a0where it felt like you\u2019re in Santa Monica (\u2026). The inspiration came from everything that surrounds the hotel, the palm trees, the organic nature of the architecture, everything that you would find at the beach.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\nKelly Wearstler<\/em><\/strong> at Dezeen<\/strong><\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
