Our story

Nestled in the heart of Venice’s vibrant coastal community, the Aliza Hotel is an intimate boutique retreat where nostalgia, art, and modern comfort converge. Thoughtfully reimagined from a mid-century gem, the hotel honors its storied past while embracing the ease and style of contemporary California living.

Many of our light-filled rooms and suites feature original Art Deco bathrooms, adorned with vintage tiles in a kaleidoscope of colors, paired with warm wood accents and curated details throughout. Each space is accented with iconic Slim Aarons photography, capturing timeless moments of elegance, allure, and sun-soaked leisure—an effortless nod to old Hollywood glamour and coastal cool.

Designed to feel both personal and welcoming, the Aliza offers thoughtful touches that elevate every stay: high-speed Wi-Fi, complimentary coffee and tea, a hydration station, free on-site parking, and eco-friendly Public Goods bath amenities. Our signature lobby and in-room scent sets the tone the moment you arrive. In reception, a vintage-inspired record player invites guests to slow down, linger, and set their own soundtrack for the stay.

Step outside and you’re moments from the energy of Venice Beach, with Abbot Kinney Boulevard’s celebrated shopping, dining, and creative culture just a short walk away—yet the hotel itself remains a calm, design-forward escape from it all.

Who is Aliza?

She’s the heart behind the hotel—a beloved grandmother, graceful matriarch, and the enduring inspiration for everything we do. A woman of timeless elegance, warmth, and quiet strength, her spirit lives on in the details: the sense of welcome, the attention to beauty, and the feeling that you’ve arrived somewhere meaningful. At the Aliza Hotel, her legacy continues to shape a space that feels intimate, nostalgic, and uniquely yours.
