Hotel Front Office

Hotel Front Office Location Los Angeles, CA (Mid City West area) :

Short Stories Hotel opened February 2022. Located in the heart of the Fairfax district, across from the Original Farmer's Market and The Grove, Short Stories is a tranquil retreat in an urban core. At our hotel, we're passionate about providing an inviting and personalized approach to hospitality.

On its face, you know the score. Rooms to rent, a courtyard to gather, drinks setting the stage for conversation. A good hotel will offer all of these, but a great hotel is something else entirely. A great hotel offers experience, little unexpected moments that fondly hang around our memories. They're the stranger who buys you a drink, an agreement reached over lunch, catching your favorite film by the pool and the list goes on. It may be odd to say we trade in magic, but that's how we see it. It's an attention generously paid to detail. A pride taken in a style of service that's become increasingly rare.
