"Redondo Beach has been a pioneer of coastal California hospitality since the late 1800s, when railroad construction led to a sprawling wooden resort, aptly named the Great Hotel Redondo, in this part of the South Bay. Safe to say our concept of a great hotel is a little different from the Victorian-era Californians’, but they knew a good location when they saw one. While we’re talking firsts: the proprietors of Shade like to be the first to put down luxury boutique roots in a community, and this hotel is the first of its kind in Redondo Beach." - Tablet Hotels
