The house
A small hotel that runs on California time.
Lumina began life as a garden apartment court, built in 1958 for screenwriters and set painters who wanted a pool and a short drive to the studios. We kept the bones: terrazzo floors, breeze-block walls, a courtyard of monstera and banana leaves. Then we added very good beds.
- Breakfast in the Sunroom, included with every direct booking
- No resort fee. Wi-Fi, bikes and the pool are part of the room
- A real person at the desk, day and night

In their own words.
A few lines our guests left in the book at the front desk, shared with their permission.
We did not plan to spend a whole afternoon on the terrace, and then we did. The morning bun alone is worth the drive from Pasadena.
The light at six is exactly what they say it is. Quiet room, very good bed, staff who remembered how I take my coffee by day two.
Two kids, one pool and a living room between the bedrooms. That layout saved our holiday. The bikes were a big hit.
Warm enough to swim in January. I worked from the courtyard every morning and walked to Vermont for dinner.
Los Feliz
The hills at the end of the street.
Los Feliz is the leafy, walkable corner of the city where Griffith Park begins. The Observatory is ten minutes up the road, Vermont Avenue's bookshops and wine bars four minutes by bike.
