Venice Beach has a new neighbor with pretty blue umbrella eyes called Hotel Erwin. Erwin’s 7th floor rooftop has its sights set on relaxation over sweet and tangy cocktails galore. High Lounge’s 3,000 square foot open-air space offers a 360-degree view that can reach all the way Downtown if the smog ever lets up. Use this bird’s eye perspective to check out the rollerblading muscle men in spandex down below cruising the boardwalk, while you coolly sip your Lime Rickey (Bacardi, lime juice, coconut syrup, and cream). If eating the “Oysters of the Day” on a rooftop couch won’t satiate your sunburned soul, head down to the hotel’s first floor and visit restaurant Hash, for good, high-end American eats.

GetWize: High Lounge is open Monday - Thursday, 5:30 p.m. - late night, and Friday - Sunday, 3:00 p.m. - late night. Celebrate Hotel Erwin’s opening and reserve a room at Hotel Erwin online. You’ll get 40% off the best rate. The rooms are brightly colored and modern-minimal with a casual feel. You might find a longboard skateboard as decoration. Play with it responsibly!
