After becoming completely burnt out on the Hollywood scene, my girls and I decided it was time for a change. We wanted something ‘low key,’ so we decided to try The Custom Hotel…no traffic, no lines, free parking and no cover. The Custom is a hip, reasonably priced boutique hotel in Westchester that opened in Fall 2007. The hotel is located just minutes from LAX, leaving its guests close to Marina del Rey, Manhattan Beach, Venice, Santa Monica and Malibu. Hopscotch Bar & Grill is the hotel’s heated outdoor patio with a flyyyy stadium sundeck, poolside cabanas, fire pits and DJ lounge. The layout of the outdoor lounge is so modern and chic that you won’t believe the spot hasn’t blown up like the Standard yet. This well-kept secret is definitely going to be the place to be this summer, so make sure you come prepared to take a dip–you won’t want to miss out!

I agree! This spot is real chill, yet it’s still hip and trendy.
