Manhattan Beach is synonymous with casual California beach culture. With a rich history of surfing, beach volleyball, Strand bicycle cruising and plain old sun-worshipping, it has always been an exclusive spot to relax and unwind. In the last decade, development has inspired a coastal renaissance. Manhattan Beach has become the place to dine, shop, and now sleep in style.
Presenting Shade - your coastal oasis at one of California's premier beach communities. Whether you're staying in Manhattan Beach for work or play, whether you choose to absorb the energy of the beach or lounge by our dipping pool, enjoy a cocktail in the Zinc Lounge or luxuriate in your private Sanijet™ spa tub, Shade is your place. Cool.




It is no secret that our owner, Michael Zislis, loves to eat and drink. As one of Manhattan Beach's premier restaurateurs, he has traveled the planet to enjoy the world's best restaurants. Shade presents a variety of opportunities to indulge the palate. Zinc's distinctive small plates menu and unique wine preservation system - by which a large selection of fine international wines are offered by the glass - offer a unique dining experience for Manhattan Beach. Fresh Mojitos, Margaritas and Martinis in the rarified atmosphere of the Skydeck can only compare to a sumptuous feast delivered to enjoy in the privacy of your own room. In true Shade fashion, you tell us what you want, where and when, and we'll serve it up on a silver platter.
