The 66-room boutique lodging replaces the one-time Farmer’s Daughter property. “I want to bring old-school hospitality back,” says hotelier Leo Grifka.
The pair conceived key furniture pieces — such as a rounded sofa emblazoned with velvety leopards for the larger suites and clever closets — plus curated enviable collections of Taschen and Phaidon books for each room alongside a Kenton Nelson artwork above every bed, not to mention generous craft-spirit minibar. Terrazzo-clad bathrooms nod to Hollywood history with framed matchbooks from institutions including Dan Tana’s, Canter’s Deli and Craig’s.
Grifka aims for the property to be known for its attentive, personalized service. “Especially in a post-COVID world, people are yearning for human interaction, and most hotels are going away from it with mobile check-in and automation,” says Grifka. At Short Stories, staff greet guests by name, walk them to their room and call an hour later to ensure it’s all to their liking. There’s also turndown service, complete with a classic Andes chocolate mint in a custom gold Short Stories wrapper.
A $250 monthly membership option is available for locals seeking pool access, concierge services, and work and conference space.Stefan MerriweatherOutdoor dining area at Short Stories Hotel.Stefan Merriweather
