Silver Lake Pool & Inn
Mexican modernist meets California cool. Think airy, sun-drenched rooms with terrazzo counters, antique rugs, and glazed tile walls that give off a chic 1970s swim club energy. The Boy Scouts-inspired button-ups on front desk staff add a distinctly Wes Anderson touch.
Pool swimming is exclusively for hotel guests — but non-guests can reserve pool-adjacent dining tables at Marco Polo via OpenTable
Why It Matters
Silver Lake's first (and only) hotel. Palisociety proved a formerly motel-only corner of LA's creative Eastside could support a proper boutique property. The design is genuinely distinctive, the restaurant pulls in locals who aren't staying, and 54 rooms makes it feel genuinely intimate.
Palisociety took a truly unremarkable 1980s motel on Santa Monica Blvd and, with Venice Beach design studio Electric Bowery, transformed it into Silver Lake's first and only hotel. The look lands somewhere between Mexican modernism and California-cool: glazed tan-gold tile walls, antique rugs, terrazzo counters, leather lounge chairs, and live plants throughout. No spa, no indoor lobby lounge — but the elevated heated pool deck on the second floor is the heart of the whole operation, and the al fresco Marco Polo Trattoria is already a legitimate neighborhood restaurant.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
The Deluxe ADA King
The ADA-accessible version of the Deluxe King. Same 375–390 sq ft footprint with king bed, sitting area, and all the same in-room amenities, configured for guests with accessibility needs.
King
The Deluxe King
Described as a pied-à-terre, and it earns it. At 375–390 sq ft with a king bed and sitting area, this one feels like a proper urban apartment for the night. Worth the modest upgrade from the standard King.
King
The Double Queen
Built for families or friends traveling together. Two queen beds plus a sitting area in 400–480 sq ft — a meaningful step up in space that makes it one of the better family-friendly options in boutique LA hotels.
Two Queens
The Double Queen ADA
The accessible version of the Double Queen at a fixed 400 sq ft. Same two-queen, sitting-area setup with full ADA compliance for guests with accessibility requirements.
Two Queens
The King
A solid mid-tier pick. The king bed comes with a sitting area and locally sourced furniture, and the size range of 250–390 sq ft means you could score a notably roomy version depending on availability.
King
The King Studio
The biggest room in the house at 710 sq ft — and it shows. You get a king bed, a sofa and desk in the sitting area, plus 1.5 baths including a double-vanity powder room. Also ADA accessible, making it the most practical large-format option in the hotel.
King
The King Suite
The flagship suite at a fixed 460 sq ft. A large sitting area separates the sleeping space and gives it a genuinely suite-like feel. Best choice for a special occasion or anyone who just wants the most room to stretch out.
KingThe Queen
The entry-level room, and still impressively comfortable. At 250–310 sq ft it's on the smaller end, but the queen bed is genuinely plush, locally sourced furniture keeps things grounded, and Southern California sunlight floods the space.
