Culver City Hotel

Our Story

A guest once told me, ‘The Culver Hotel is an icon, whether you like it or not,’ and I have found that to be true on many levels. A rich cinematic history, illustrious past owners and guests, and its unusual shape are only part of its marvelous charm. What sets us apart is the authentic and soulful energy people feel when they walk through our doors. A visit to The Culver Hotel is always an opportunity to be inspired by the elegance of the past and feel a warm sense of hospitality.

Upon discovering The Culver Hotel in 2006, something about the property was deeply moving. Despite its neglected state, I was inspired to bring it back to life through an artistic and modern lens—not just as a hotel but through events, dining, music and art. Having spent most of my childhood in Europe surrounded by history and craftsmanship left me with a longing to bring out the beauty and nostalgia of the past. This is how my passion project began, alongside my sister Angela and a wonderful team. Restoring the neighborhood’s architectural jewel came with a greater responsibility as it represented such an integral part of Culver City’s history. We are proud of how our initial vision came to life and of the significant role the hotel’s comeback has played in the revitalization of our vibrant town.

I am thankful to those who have been with us since the early years, and to our well-wishing friends, family and guests who were by our side fueling the positive vision. The beauty of the creative process is that it continues and evolves like history itself. I hope each time you step into our magical little world, you will be inspired to take a piece of The Culver Hotel with you.
