  • Palihouse Santa Monica Hotel Nikol'skaya Kempinski
    CALIFORNIA Palihouse DESIGN NOTES: As with other Paligroup properties, Santa Monica founder/designer Avi Brosh has put his upscale-eclectic stamp on this beachside lodge hotel—a velvet sofa here, a modernist lamp there, bespoke wallpaper everywhere. While a game can be made of fi nding matching design elements at the hotel, Brosh’s carefully curated aesthetic does have limits—he has preserved many of the original Spanish-colonial fl ourishes, including the Malibu tile and blown-glass doors and the ceiling frescoes in the lobby. BACKSTORY: Built in 1927, the hotel dates back to the days when Santa Monica was the last Los Angeles rail stop, when travelers from across the world fl ooded into the area to enjoy its sunshine, pre y beaches and famous pier—or simply to sit in the Palihouse’s shaded courtyard wearing movie-star sunglasses and sipping studio-boss cocktails. The hotel’s elegant exterior ornamentation and lush courtyards hark back to those sun-seekers of old. ROOM WITH A VIEW: The plush two-bedroom, two-bath penthouse—which, like most of the rooms, is designed with long-term stays in mind—has its own exclusive entry foyer and original tiled fountain and is infused with eclectic European-inspired design elements. It features an interior courtyard and French doors that open to a wraparound balcony, off ering fresh air, twit- tering birds and glimpses of the Pacifi c Ocean. BACKSTORY: Constructed in the 1870s for pampered Duma diplomat Alexei Orlov-Davydov, this grand building was further aggrandized in 1907, when art nouveau master Edouard-Jean Niermans, architect of the Moulin Rouge, created rich fl oral mosaics in what is now the hotel’s MosaiK restaurant.
