THE EDEN ANNOUNCES OFFICIAL RELAUNCH IN SANTA MONICA UNDER A BRAND-NEW MANAGEMENT TEAM AND NEW LEADERSHIP

Historic Streamline Moderne Landmark Reopens as Independent Boutique Hotel with Refreshed Vision, Thoughtful Amenities, and Coffee Manufactory Flagship Café.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Eden, a storied coastal landmark in Santa Monica, successfully relaunched 3 months ago as an independent boutique hotel under a brand new management team. With 70 guest rooms and suites, the revitalized property reopened this spring with a refreshed brand, renewed leadership, and a hospitality experience that blends architectural heritage with contemporary sensibilities.

Originally the Hotel Shangri-La built in 1939 and recognized as a historic landmark, The Eden stands as one of Southern California's most notable examples of Streamline Moderne architecture. Its iconic design—featuring curved lines, maritime detailing, and Art Deco influences—has been thoughtfully preserved through a meticulous, multi-year restoration process. The result is a property that honors its past while embracing the needs of today's discerning traveler.

The relaunch marks a new era for The Eden, one that emphasizes independent spirit, elevated design, and intentional guest offerings. New amenities include a dedicated wellness studio for yoga and Pilates, refreshed interiors with custom detailing, and a reimagined outdoor pool area complete with loungers, shaded cabanas, and a full-service poolside bar. Current programming highlights include rooftop yoga sessions and weekly movie nights under the stars, further enhancing the hotel's community-driven experience.

As part of its evolution, The Eden is also introducing Coffee Manufactory at The Eden, a signature lobby-level café created in partnership with the acclaimed California-based coffee roaster Coffee Manufactory. Designed as a community-centric space, the café underscores the hotel's commitment to thoughtful hospitality and local connection.

"This isn't just a reopening — it's a reclamation," said Danielle Delcambre, General Manager of The Eden. "The Eden is a bold return to independent hospitality on the California coast, where legacy, design, and intention come together to create something truly special and old world."

By returning to the Santa Monica hospitality landscape, The Eden reclaims its role as a cultural touchstone—rooted in history, refreshed in vision, and ready to welcome guests once again with a spirit of warmth, integrity, and timeless California charm.

The Eden officially reopened to guests on June 2, 2025.
