The Premium Life

After spending all of my July 4th’s in the Hamptons, this would be my first one on the west coast. I was not sure what to expect. I was lucky enough to be invited to the SoBe Lifewater July 4th day pool party at the brand new Shangri-La hotel in Santa Monica (Just opened 2 weeks ago). The SoBe Lifewater 4th of July Party was sponsored by Belvedere Vodka and hosted by Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Rashida Jones. This turned out to be one of the best July 4th parties I have been too. Besides the weather being perfect, the hotel was amazing, their food was terrific , a fun crowd, and a great setting.

The Shangri La Hotel just completed a $30 million makeover. Originally built in 1939, the hotel still features its art deco past and old Hollywood glamour. The hotel features a swanky rooftop bar, gourmet restaurant, and great rooms. All feature eco-friendly elements like compact lighting, organic cleansers for housekeeping , bath amenities from Natura Green. The Dining Room at Shangri-La is not to be missed also. Try the deconstructed Cobb salad and the burger–you won’t be sorry.

The Shangri-La is perfect for your next corporate getaway or event. With 71 newly renovated rooms, the hotel is perfect for a corporate takeover. Premium Lifestyle Group can assist with planning poolside bbq’s, team building activities, a rooftop party, and more.

Eighteen uniquely themed cottages capture the imagination and immerse the Inn’s guests in sophisticated luxury (cottages range from a treehouse suspended 35 feet in the air, to a mammoth compound, built entirely of stone boulders – each has modern appliances and lack nothing in the way of convenience).
