The Spotlight on Short Stories Hotel

Chic, Artistic Vibes in the Heart of LA

Short Stories Hotel is a boutique-style hideaway in central Los Angeles, just steps from iconic shopping spots, buzzing dining scenes, and world-class museums. This stylish stay combines a modern aesthetic with local artwork and custom décor in every room, offering a unique and comfortable home base for your music-fueled trip.

With a focus on design and detail, this hotel feels like a curated gallery you can sleep in—perfect for travelers who want their stay to be as memorable as the show they came for.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Short Stories puts you close to some of LA’s most popular music venues without being in the thick of the noise. After the encore, it’s just a short ride back to comfort. The 4:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out times give you flexibility, and being central makes catching a late-night ride share or scooting back on a Lime a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to explore the city by day and hit a gig by night
  • Solo travelers ticking that dream concert off their list
  • Couples turning a show into a stylish weekend getaway
  • Fans needing downtime after a high-energy night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality and location

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Short Stories Restaurant serves up a creative spin on California cuisine, blending flavors from the Far East, Latin America, and the Mediterranean. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the hotel’s central location means late-night bites are always nearby. Breakfast is available—perfect for those slower mornings after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no live music on-site, the hotel is within easy reach of LA’s legendary nightlife. From high-energy clubs and rooftop bars to intimate lounges with local craft cocktails, you’ll find plenty of post-show options just a short ride or stroll away. The hotel’s atmosphere is more chill than party, making it a great spot to wind down.

What People Say

Guests love the thoughtful design, comfortable rooms, and exceptional location. Reviewers highlight the friendly staff and how easy it is to access both major attractions and concert venues. Many say it’s a hidden gem tucked into one of LA’s most walkable neighborhoods.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the rooms are on the smaller side, and while there’s great food on-site, a wider range of late-night dining or room service options would be a welcome addition. But for most, the charm and location more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

If you want a stylish, centrally located hotel that blends comfort with character—without the chaos—Short Stories Hotel is a smart pick for concert-goers.

Lovely oasis across from The...

Liked: This little hotel is tucked away behind greenery-covered fences just across the street from The Grove. Everyone we encountered - front desk, valet, restaurant, cleaning staff - was kind and attentive, and the room itself was an absolute steal given the location. We were in the "second stories" building, which is not the one with the interior courtyard. Our room had hardwood floors, a sitting area, and a sliding barn door to separate the bathroom area from the sleeping area. It was clean and mostly quiet (we had a loud-ish neighbor one night), and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel served as a great "home base" for us to explore LA and felt very safe both for us and our car.
Disliked: The loud-ish neighbor woke us up from a dead sleep at 2am with bass, which wasn't great. But someone from the hotel must have dealt with it because they quieted down within 30 minutes.
