Recreation
The hotel offers a circular splash pool and mezzanine-level lap pool. The fitness room is equipped with treadmills, elliptical machines, stationary bikes, inflatable exercise ball, and weights. Thanks in part to the hotel's proximity to UCLA, there are plenty of recreational opportunities within a short distance. Near the campus (two blocks) are a jogging path, tennis and basketball courts. There are also several public and private golf courses and driving ranges within 10 miles; Malibu (18 miles) is a popular destination for golf, tennis, horseback riding, and surfing. Santa Monica Beach and Pier (7 miles) has a jogging path, tennis courts, and a boardwalk with rides, games, restaurants, and shops. At Venice Beach and Marina del Rey (to the south of Santa Monica) visitors can rent bicycles, in-line skates, and water sport and fishing gear; a paved, 25-mile bike/jogging/skating path runs along the Pacific Coast. The recreational activities listed below are available either on site or near the hotel; fees may apply.

| The hotel is in line with any of Ian Schrager's hotels. It caters to a hip, young (and young at heart) clientele with sophisticated taste.
