"A suite-only, residential-feeling property in the posh Wilshire Montana neighborhood across from Palisades Park, reborn in 2019 after a multimillion-dollar transformation. The 70 apartment-style suites typically offer separate living rooms, Loro Piana bedding, large bathrooms, walk-in closets, and many ocean views surrounding a heart-shaped pool. The on-site Sandpiper restaurant is seafood-forward, with dishes like chilled prawns with summer melons and pan-roasted sheepshead with littleneck clams, while cocktails include signature mixes such as the Stan Laurel—Empress gin, Cointreau, lavender syrup, and lemon." - Kathryn Romeyn
