"Why book? This design-forward beachfront hotel is the perfect outpost to explore the Venice Beach boardwalk, canals, and Abbot Kinney all while staying in chic urban style that the area has become known for. And did we mention there’s a private rooftop? Set the scene Set inside the historic Waldorf, a landmark originally opened in 1915, this newly-remodeled property was formerly a residence for A-listers including Charlie Chaplin, who the luxurious penthouse suite is named after. The space still has the vibe of a creative nomad’s retreat, with three different themes throughout its 30 rooms: the artist, the athlete, and the sun lover. The backstory The latest and greatest offering from Proper Hospitality — which includes the Proper Hotels and Residences and Avalon Hotels brands — Venice V hones in on luxury that reflects the local community. The rooms Though the themes of the rooms vary from boho beach to artist retreat and surf chic, they all have preserved details from the historic building — including the oldest elevator West of the Mississippi. Updates like the oversized noise-cancelling windows are a major plus being situated right above the Venice Boardwalk, and flatscreens offering Apple TV and Aesop bath amenities will come as a welcome touch to international travelers arriving from the nearby LAX airport. In the Charlie Chaplin suite, relax in a plush king size bed and watch the sailboats breeze by outside the window, and stargaze through the vintage style standing telescope at night. Food and drink While there aren’t any internal dining options, the hotel partners with Great White, a locally famous Aussie coffee shop specializing in produce-driven brekkie for in-room delivery. And there are plenty of excellent restaurants within walking distance, too. The neighborhood/area Venice Beach is one of LA’s most iconic enclaves for creatives, packed with galleries, boho boutiques, and incredible restaurants. But we’d be remiss not to mention that the city’s homelessness crisis has hit this area of the beach particularly hard — a reality that you’re bound to encounter in any area of LA — but something worth noting here. The service Service is low key and casual yet attentive, just the right amount of fuss for a laid back Westside vibe. Accessibility Yes. Elevators and walk in showers available. Anything left to mention? Complimentary amenities include beach cruisers, umbrellas, and beach chairs so that you can enjoy a perfect day of sun and sand." - Krista Simmons
