Short Stories Hotel - A boutique property with multicultural dining and custom-designed rooms in Fairfax District

Located in the heart of the Fairfax District, this 3-star Los Angeles hotel sits on a third of an acre, just 2 minutes' walk from The Grove shopping and entertainment complex. Short Stories Hotel features rooms adorned with herringbone wood floors, Kenton Nelson artwork, and custom furnishings, equipped with 300-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets, Carrara marble tables, and Lefroy Brooks fixtures. The property's dining spaces include an interior restaurant decorated with terracotta colors and earthy woods, and an exterior courtyard shaded by three Sumac trees. Executive Chef Ariel Malone presents a seasonal menu blending Mediterranean and Southern American flavors, with signature dishes like Masala Hummus and Clay Pot Chicken. Stories Bar serves craft cocktails including Tahini Old Fashioned and Mezcal Margarita. Short Stories stands 12.5 miles from Los Angeles International Airport, with Beverly Hills and West Hollywood reachable within 20 minutes.

Pros

Live music and events hosted under the stars in the courtyard

All-levels fitness classes taught by city's leading instructors

Membership options available for work and social spaces

Multiple event spaces suitable for intimate dinners to corporate meetings

“Short Stories Hotel earns praise for its prime location near The Grove and overall cleanliness. I appreciate the blend of updated design with the property's motel origins, delivering boutique charm. Whiskey tastings and outdoor dining give this pet-friendly hotel a distinct identity.”

the front desk service was not good. when i arrived, the person behind the desk didn't acknowledge me at all. the server couldn't find us in the system.
