Honey-toned zellige tile climbing the exterior walls against white stucco sets the Silver Lake Pool & Inn apart from the moment you approach — a two-storey building in one of Los Angeles's most design-literate neighbourhoods that draws equally from California modernism and North African craft traditions. Opened in 2019 on Sunset Boulevard, the 14-room property was developed by Liz Lambert's Bunkhouse Group, the Austin-based hospitality company responsible for Hotel San José and the Saint Cecilia, with interiors handled in the same spirit of curated casualness that has defined their best work. The guest rooms carry polished cork floors — warm underfoot, amber in afternoon light — layered with vintage Persian rugs and furnished with walnut-framed platform beds and cane-fronted credenzas that carry the easy authority of mid-century craft. Terrazzo vanity tops and richly grained walnut doors continue that material conversation toward the bathrooms, while leather sling chairs and trailing yucca plants give each room the atmosphere of a well-traveled friend's apartment rather than a hospitality product. The bar is the property's most theatrical interior: an oval counter clad in reeded brass topped with Verde Guatemala marble, ringed by gold-legged velvet stools beneath a radiating cedar slat ceiling. The rooftop pool deck, framed by striped canvas umbrellas and cactus plantings set against more of that amber zellige, pulls the building's exterior language upward to where Silver Lake's low skyline spreads out in every direction.

Silver Lake Pool & Inn sits on a corner just south of the Sunset Junction in the heart of Silver Lake, one of the most exciting neighborhoods in all of Los Angeles, and one that we love. We are proudly surrounded by people that have created a community supported by the community. Our Inn features an elevated pool deck, 54 oversized guest rooms and suites as well as Marco Polo, a coastal Italian inspired al fresco restaurant and bar, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and brunch on the weekends. The property is intimate in scale, with cozy nooks that transition naturally from one to the next, providing a feeling of repose and open flow at the same time. The space is curated and designed with a discerning, distinctly Californian influence brought to life with vintage leather furniture, wood and stone accents, lush greenery and an abundance of natural light. The overall aesthetic is airy and organic with dynamic details and finishes throughout.
