 Staycation - Malibu is a beautiful place to stay for a short vacation with many places to visit.  I stayed at the Native hotel and it is very cute.  When I first checked in, I was a little hesitant but it is actually very cute.  It gives me a vintage vibe. The next day I found a local trail and hiked for a short mile.   Address:  28920 CA-1, Malibu, CA 90265 February 2018 Outside of the room The Bed with a very nice sheet The Lobby of the hotel Backyard balcony Japanese robes a near hiking trail The lobby in the check-in area a small cute restroom

SLS Hotel is an elegant boutique hotel and the fascinating interior was designed by Phillipe Starks in 1980.   Hand-in-hand with beautiful interior designs, chef Tres-by-Jose Andres is a fantastic designer for all the culinary arts.  I was invited for an afternoon tea and it was an exquisite afternoon high tea food with a hot pot of Jasmine Tea.  I highly recommend it for any occasion. 465 S La Cienega Blvd  Los Angeles, CA 90048 (310) 247-0400 Phillipe Starks Chef Jose Andres
