This 77-room, mid-range boutique hotel is one of the most environmentally focused hotels in Southern California. While it mostly caters to business travelers, eco-minded visitors (who don't mind staying a bit inland) find it to be a fantastic, Zen-like alternative to Santa Monica's enormous beachfront hotels, like the Loews, Le Merigot, or the Miramar.
