Look to Shade Hotel for your next night out

There are certainly many options when planning a night out on the town. Finding a location and a venue that fits all of your needs and checks all of your boxes can be frustrating and challenging. Whatever you're planning for -- a special anniversary, a birthday bash, a small gathering to celebrate or just meeting friends for drinks -- the Shade Hotel in Manhattan Beach can offer an experience you can't quite get anywhere else in South Bay.

The only luxury boutique hotel in Manhattan Beach, Shade Hotel has a lot to offer. Not only is it just a few blocks from the beach, it's also in the heart of the hip and vibrant Manhattan Beach, making it steps away from local shopping and much more.

Located on the main floor, the Zinc Lounge has a modern, hip feel with a large bar, blue neon lighting and various couches for seating. The bar features its specialty drinks, offers a wide variety of small plates (as well as brunch and lunch menus) and has a solid selection of wines. Like any other hot spot in Manhattan Beach, the lounge can get crowded on the weekends and will be a mix beach types and well-dressed partiers, as well as an established older crowd looking to unwind. A terrace extends outside from the wine bar, offering a more intimate setting if you have a large group to entertain.

What helps set Shade Hotel apart is the skydeck for private events. If the ocean views weren't enough, the skydeck sets the mood with blue lighting, a private bar and a relaxation pool for a more d intimate feel perfect for cocktail and dinner parties. The skydeck creates a serene atmosphere that's rare to find overlooking the ocean.

For larger events like weddings, corporate outings and product launches, Shade Hotel also has an open-air courtyard at the heart of the hotel. The area has a bit more of an elegant feel, with two-story curtains, overlooking balconies and a waterfall backdrop to create a blend of indoors and outdoors.
