Hotel Lautner is a unique hybrid between "upscale vacation rental property" and "boutique hotel"...we invite our guests to indulge their mid-century fantasies by renting their own private John Lautner suite while enjoying luxurious amenities one would find at a boutique hotel. Built by the famed architect in 1947 for a hollywood movie producer as a celebrity hideaway, the compound is comprised of four distinctly designed interlocking units. Embedded amid a who's-who of quintessential mid-century furniture designers, guests will find all the necessary luxuries of post-modern living, such as Frette linens, L'Occitane bath products, inductions cook tops, TV/DVD players, free wi-fi and iPhone music stations. The compound boasts an intimate saline spa and outdoor shower, an outdoor lounge with fire pit for brisk evening stargazing and on site BBQ perfect for summer grilling. Because of the unique nature of this landmark property, there is no "on site" check in office, restaurant or fitness center. Guests are free to enjoy the property as their "home away from home" during their stay. This is a rare opportunity to sleep in a landmark property.
