westdrift: Endless Summer-meets-Eastern Seaboard

Taking cues from the beach city founded by a New Yorker, westdrift is an exacting mix of ‘Endless Summer-meets-Eastern Seaboard,’ combining iconic design, amenities and culinary offerings that speak to both coasts.

Named for the westerly winds that famously swept dunes of sugary sand over the Manhattan Beach boardwalk, westdrift features a breathtaking lobby with a custom Argentine driftwood check-in desk framed by striking wooden columns with metal accents inspired by the nostalgic pier. The creative masterminds behind the destination-inspired design are San Francisco-based EDG Design with Theresa Fatino Design as the design consultant. Expect a sun-washed beachy palette with an East Coast aesthetic, including driftwood, modern lines, au natural textures and pops of navy blue. Artwork featured throughout the property and guestrooms is by Sausalito photorealist Eric Zener, celebrated for his elemental water paintings.

The flowing, open floor plan gives way to the indoor-outdoor Jute Coastal Bar + Kitchen, capturing the sunlit effervescence that lured California dreamers a century ago. With a restaurant name inspired by the strong, raw fiber often used for making rope, Jute references the coastal design of the new hotel, specifically the woven chairs throughout the lobby space and string flags above the bar. The name also speaks to the materiality and concept of the interior design, while subtly labeling a space that encourages connections and the coming together of friends and family. The communal-focused dining experience is led by Executive Chef Octavio Sabado. Featuring a bi-coastal inspired menu, Jute will also have an impressive cocktail program featuring a wide selection of innovative and seasonal libations.

Nestled in the heart of the highly desirable Manhattan Beach community, westdrift is a mile to the beach, and a quick stroll or bike ride to The Point, the city’s vibrant shopping, entertainment and dining hub. The property will debut its inaugural partnership with Venice Beach-based Solé Bicycles, providing guests with “blue-sky beach cruisers.” Replete with chevron accents and a woven basket, westdrift’s custom cruisers will be the ultimate photo prop. An all-in-one destination, guests can also enjoy on-demand movies from their in-room Smart TV or outdoor lawn games such as shuffleboard, croquet, corn hole and more.
