westdrift Manhattan Beach

You’ll immediately feel the beachy vibes here when you step into the lobby of Manhattan Beach’s hottest new hotel, westdrift.

From the hotel’s custom Argentine driftwood check-in desk, to its wooden columns, there’s no doubt you’ve made it to the beach.

And the color palette, along with the art really take this point home. You will pine over Sausalito artist Eric Zener’s stunning water paintings as you realize you certainly are not in the desert anymore.

Just a mile from the beach, westdrift is perfectly located to dip your toes in the sand, but not track it back into your big comfy bed. Grab one of the hotel’s Insta-worthy beach cruisers from Venice-based Sole Bicycles and fill up its adorable wooden basket with goodies from nearby shopping center The Point.

Be sure to return “home” in time for a sunset cocktail at Jute Coastal Bar + Kitchen, westdrift’s indoor-outdoor space that screams California dreaming with its wide open spaces and beachy breeze.

Boasting 393 luxury guest rooms (112 of which feature private balconies), an outdoor pool complete with cabanas, a 9-hole, par-3 golf course, a CrossFit-inspired gym, meeting space for your every need, and much more, westdrift is a must-stop during your summer California adventures.
