Kelly Wearstler's design for this Santa Monica landmark is among her best — layered, warm, and rooted in California materiality. The rooftop restaurant and pool have some of the best ocean views in Los Angeles without requiring a beachfront room. The location sits between the beach and the Third Street Promenade, making it a natural base for both coastal and inland exploring.
