The 84 rooms and suites — many of which
offer Pacific Ocean views — also embrace
the hotel's art deco heritage and feature a
mix of contemporary and vintage elements,
including custom golden-hued arched
headboards designed by Fettle, decora-
tive pillows by Lisa Corti, antique bar cart
and Marshall speakers, Polaroid cameras,
Victrola record players and a bespoke bar
with custom-made floor-to-ceiling brass and
antiqued mirror pieces.
The most exclusive space is hidden in the
basement where The Georgian Room —
formerly a discreet hangout for the rich and
famous — has reopened for the first time
in over 60 years with an impressive 1918
ebony polished Steinway & Sons piano built
into the bar, the space's design highlight.
A true design masterpiece paying tribute
to the essence of West Coast American art
deco, The Georgian is worth the visit.

Once inside, guests discover the lobby
with high ceilings, custom art deco-style
chandeliers and original decorative reliefs.
The horseshoe-shaped, hand selected
Italian emerald quartzite Sunset Bar is set
to one side and the Dining Room — with a
green marble fireplace flanked by arched
windows, custom lounge-style furniture
installations by French floral artist Jean
Pascal — on the other.
To create a secluded space, the reception
— with deep blue walls, bold art pieces in
brass frames, a desk and Wes Anderson-in-
spired berry-red key box located within a
millwork framed opening — was relocated
through an ornate curtain.
The ground floor is also home to Gallery 33,
which celebrates the culture and the arts;
The Library, with books curated by Lee
Kaplan of Culver City's Arcana: Books on
the Arts; and a private space for up to 20
people called The Writer's Room.
