A Clubhouse for Creatives: The Rose Hotel in Venice - Remodelista
Brooklyn-based British fashion photographer Glen Luchford first visited Venice Beach in 1993 to photograph Dennis Hopper and fell in love with the grittiness of the neighborhood (it reminded him of Brighton, England, his hometown, he says). With his newly opened Rose Hotel, located on Rose Avenue near Abbot Kinney, Luchford has created a place to stay when he’s in town with his crew: a low-key spot near the beach, nothing fancy. The low-key gathering spot, with Noguchi lantern and salvaged furniture. A dining table with Falcon enamelware. Built-in seating in an alcove. Simple wood venetian blinds cover the windows. The Queen Room with Shared Bath The Queen Room with Shared Bath features crisp linens (for something similar, see 10 Easy Pieces: Striped Sheets) and is $155 a night. A vintage writing table painted a soft blue. A ticking stripe shower curtain. A seating group is unified with unbleached natural Belgian linen from Katerina Tana’s Loom Collection (the fabric is Dream Solids in flax). A suite has its own dining area. A white canvas director’s chair. The bedroom in the Pacific penthouse; Tana sourced the Indian kilim rugs from a dealer in Los Angeles (for information, contact Katerina Tana directly). Double doors divide bedroom and living room. A vintage dresser with a framed photo by Luchford. The linen headboard slipcovers are made from unbleached natural Belgian linen from Katerina Tana’s Loom Collection (the fabric is Dream Solids in flax). A view into the bedroom of the Simpson suite. The 700-square-foot suite includes a queen bed, a kitchenette, and a large deck with ocean views. The queen bedroom in the Abbot Kinney Suite. The Abbot Kinney Suite deck. The Rose is a stone’s throw from the beach.
