California coastal boutique — polished but relaxed, marina-front, social and food-forward. Modern sophistication with genuine beach-town ease.
Book direct through the hotel website to waive the $40 resort fee — the biggest single savings on a short stay.
Why It Matters
First luxury boutique hotel in Redondo Beach. Michelin-rated (18+ out of 20 points). Ranked #13 Top Hotel in Southern California by Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice 2025. Founded by restaurateurs — the food and bar program genuinely delivers. Every suite and penthouse has a balcony soaking tub.
Shade Redondo Beach sits right on the King Harbor Marina waterfront, 6.5 miles from LAX, with unobstructed Pacific views stretching from Palos Verdes all the way up to Malibu. It's the first luxury boutique hotel to plant roots in Redondo Beach — founded by restaurateur Michael Zislis and built on the site of the old Red Onion restaurant. All 54 rooms have private balconies, Tempur-Pedic beds, and soaking tubs. The rooftop Aquadeck pool and award-winning Sea Level restaurant make this feel like a proper destination, not just somewhere to sleep.
