i’m not one to make elaborate new year’s eve plans. instead, i usually spend the evening with friends, making a delicious dinner together at home, sharing a few cocktails, and reminiscing and laughing about our year (the really good & the oh-so-bad) and what’s ahead. this year, invited me to treat myself and a friend to a staycation at one of the many amazing hotels in town—and i think i may have found my new, new year’s eve tradition!

i’m really looking forward to unwinding at the beach after hosting my family for the holidays. don’t get me wrong, it’s going to be a lot of fun having everyone at my house for Christmas this year, but once the last guest leaves and the mess is all cleaned up, i’m going to have a big smile on my face when i’m high-tailing it out of town with my friend, designer to ring in the new year in style at the ! if you’re curious about this elegant hotel designed by , be sure to check out my because i’ll be sharing the whole experience there during my stay.
the is right across the street from santa monica beach (where i grew up going with my family every weekend and is definitely on my list of happy places) and a short walk or a bike ride away (the offers complimentary beach cruisers!) from some of my favorite westside spots. we’ll definitely be taking advantage of those bikes and hitting up the shops and cafes along in venice, and i’m thinking of checking out one of my favorite classic restaurants (est. 1959!) for a new year’s cocktail because it’s just a hop, skip and a jump down the block.
