Paligroup founder Avi Brosh knows a thing or two about stylish design, with over 30 development projects (altogether spanning more than 2 million sq ft) already to his name.
His Palihouse Santa Monica, the surfer-babe sister to the West Hollywood original, is yet another flourishing feather in his cap; a restored Colonial Revival apart-hotel melding Moorish influence with Malibu sensibility to consummately Cali-chic ends.
Pali SM’s 38 rooms and suites are sunny and welcoming, featuring eco-friendly toile wallpaper by Abnormals Anonymous, Egyptian cotton linens, Dean & Deluca-stocked minibars, free WiFi, and rain showers and bathtubs in rooms and residences respectively. If you’re springing for a splurge, book the spacious and stunning Penthouse 1, complete with 2 bedrooms, marble bathroom, 8-seat dining table, and sun-drenched interior courtyard. Dylan Hallas’ breakfast, salad and sarnie menu can be enjoyed all day anywhere on the property. And in keeping with the ‘home away from home’ MO there’s a bunch of neat add-on services including same-day laundry and dry cleaning, beach access, Linus ‘Dutchi’ bike rental, and massage therapists on call for in-suite rubs. Can you say California dreaming…
