While the architecture of Laks is already impressive on its own, the interior design by the iconic Kelly Wearstler is what really elevates the experience inside the hotel. Known for her eclectic style and bold combinations of textures, Wearstler manages to create a warm, enveloping atmosphere that reflects both the coastal spirit of Santa Monica and the cosmopolitan sophistication one would expect in a place of this level.
The hotel's interior is filled with natural materials such as wood, stone and marble, which are intertwined with soft textiles and unique decorative elements. Every space, from the lobby to the guest rooms, seems designed to inspire tranquility and creativity, with a palette of neutral colors and earth tones that are perfectly complemented by the natural light that floods every corner.
Our room was a perfect example of this harmony of styles: large windows that let in the Pacific breeze, modern furniture and handcrafted details that added character to the decor. Kelly Wearstler's design was evident in every choice, from the organic shapes of the lamps to the leather and linen details that invited relaxation without losing elegance.
