"Why did this hotel catch your attention?Walking in from a nondescript stretch of Santa Monica Boulevard, the entrance to the hotel may leave a bit to be desired, don't be too quick to judge. The amenities themselves more than make up for it. What's the backstory?The LA-based hotel chainlette Palisociety now has nine properties under its belt, but this 54 room Silverlake property feels the most significant, as the white hot hipster neighborhood had yet to have its own boutique hotel. Tell us all about the accommodations.The desert retro decor by Electric Bowery, a Venice, CA design company, throws some major Palm Springs meets Baja energy, which is perfect for this Eastside nabe. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at?Chef Casey Lane, who made a name for himself at the Tasting Table in Venice, has taken on several hotel projects in LA including the La Peer, Hotel Figueroa, and now Silverlake Inn & Pool. The cuisine at the hotel's singular restaurant Marco Polo is Mediterranean, serving up California-inspired Italian dishes beautiful casaracce diavola pasta with tomato, chile, and garlic and like the anything-but-basic cucumber salad with avocado, purslane, bottarga, and green goddess dressing. And the service? Service is as sunny as the pool deck itself. What type of travelers will you find here?Elder millennials. Think off-duty hipster parents who are just as comfortable sipping mezcal margs as they are pushing strollers on a Saturday. Any other tips?If you’re into the woo-woo, be sure to walk over to Spellbound Sky, just two minutes away. They’ve got some of the best selections of crystals in the city, and host excellent sound baths if you’re in need of some spiritual healing after a day of debauchery at the pool. Is there anything you'd change?The only thing this property is short on is a proper lobby/common area space, but the pool deck and patio at Marco Polo are a totally fine substitute, especially considering this is SoCal after all. Bottom line: Why are we choosing the Silverlake Pool & Inn? The largest boutique hotel in Silverlake and its surrounds, you'd be hard pressed to find a hotel that embodies the area quite as well, and at such a reasonable price." - Krista Simmons
