The Shay a Destination by Hyatt

Stylish, social stay in the heart of Culver City

Modern, artsy, and full of energy, The Shay a Destination by Hyatt is a vibrant hotel located in Culver City, just a short ride from West L.A.'s best music venues. With sleek design, rooftop vibes, and thoughtful amenities like a rooftop pool and on-site dining, this hotel offers a laid-back yet upscale base for concert-goers looking to blend music, nightlife, and California cool.

Whether you're heading to a bucket-list show or just soaking in SoCal's music scene, this hotel puts you near the action without the traffic stress of downtown.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate The Shay for its easy access to nearby venues like the Hollywood Bowl and The Forum, without being in the middle of the chaos. It's about 7.5 miles from LAX, making it a breeze for out-of-towners. Late check-in at 4:00 PM and a relaxed 12:00 PM check-out give you time to sleep in after a big night. The shared lounge, rooftop bar, and pool table add a fun, social vibe for pre- or post-show hangs.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a fun, Instagram-worthy base
• Solo travelers wanting a safe and stylish stay near venues
• Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
• Fans who want to decompress in a quieter neighborhood after a show
• Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value without sacrificing style

Food and Drink Options

The Shay features an on-site restaurant and bar, plus 24/7 room service for those late-night bites after a show. Step outside and you’re within walking distance of Culver City's buzzing food scene—perfect for grabbing tacos or ramen before heading out. Breakfast is available, even if you’re rolling out of bed late after a long night.

Nightlife Options

Start your night at the hotel’s rooftop bar with craft cocktails and city views. Then head out—Culver City is home to local bars and lounges with live music, and you're just a rideshare away from Hollywood’s legendary nightlife. Prefer to keep it chill? The Shay’s communal spaces make it easy to unwind with fellow music fans.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel's modern design, friendly staff, and rooftop pool. Reviews highlight the clean, spacious rooms with flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges, and many love the location for being both central and calm. The overall vibe is trendy without being pretentious—a big win for concert-goers who want both comfort and connection.

Areas for Improvement

Parking is available but not cheap—expect to pay for private parking. While the location is fantastic for westside venues, it’s a bit farther from downtown L.A. hotspots. And while the rooftop is a highlight, it can get busy on weekends, so arrive early for the best views.

The Bottom Line

If you want a stylish, music-friendly hotel near the L.A. action but away from the chaos, The Shay a Destination by Hyatt hits all the right notes.
