Japanese-inspired luxury hotel with ocean views
"Co-signed by your favorite celebrities, Nobu Malibu is well known for its delicious cuisine on the water. However, the best-kept secret is just two doors down: their hotel, Nobu Ryokan Malibu. This unique property features 16 exclusive accommodations, ensuring an intimate and personalized experience, and is an unparalleled blend of Japanese-inspired aesthetics and coastal luxury. I’ll be talking about this stay for the rest of my life. —Taylor Anderson, associate manager, social media"
"A Japanese-inspired, 16-room oceanfront ryokan-style retreat characterized by teak and Jerusalem limestone finishes, deep teak soaking tubs, skylit rain showers, and original understated artwork that fosters a serene, meditative vibe. Guests receive priority access to the adjacent acclaimed Japanese restaurant and can have its signature dishes delivered in-room; wellness features include in-room HigherDose technologies and curated spa offerings, and convenient regional air and scenic Pacific Coast Highway connections make it an accessible seaside escape." - Chris Dong
"We could tell you about the handmade teak soaking tubs, 8,000-thread-count Italian linens by Anichini, the shoji screens and tatami mats, the serene minimalist rooms overlooking the Pacific (only 11 rooms and five bungalows in total), the in-room spa treatments, or the access to the Malibu Racquet Club. We could mention Carbon Beach (one of Malibu’s least busy public beaches) just out the door, or the invisible but attentive staff, and of course the restaurant, where you can get Nobu standbys like black cod with miso. But what’s best about Nobu Ryokan is the exclusivity—even the front door to the hotel is locked at all times; once you’re in, you’re treated like royalty."
"A compact luxury ryokan-style property offering about 16 rooms that combine Japanese minimalist design with decadent touches—think teak soaking tubs and indoor/outdoor fireplaces in select accommodations—with some rooms facing the ocean and immediate access to a celebrated seaside restaurant from a renowned chef." - Chelsee Lowe Chelsee Lowe Chelsee Lowe is a Los Angeles-based writer with an obsession with good eats and interesting stories.
