The best Hyatt hotel in LA

The best Hyatt hotel in LA. Brand new rooms and amenities. Friendly staff and good location. Walkable distance to culver city streets and you can easily explore the beautiful buildings along the street. 10 mins drive to Venice beach and ~5mins walk to Amazon/Apple Office makes this hotel also a good destination for business trip.

I had multiple rooms at the Shay hotel twice between December 2024 and January 2025. It is an excellent hotel. Beautifully appointed rooms and suits and delicious breakfast. The staff were professional and friendly. From the valet to the restaurant staff and room attendants. They were all perfect. What made the experience un believable, was the service I received from 2 ladies at the Front desk. For me, Carmel Cowie and Rebecca Clarke are the definition of Hospitality. From the moment I walked in the door to my good bye when I left, they made me feel at home. Attended to any and all questions I had with a smile. No guest could possibly have a less than perfect experience when greeted by these two fine ladies. I cant wait to come back Read less

This hotel in the heart of Culver City provided an amazing stay with exceptional service. Our room was clean, modern and very comfortable. Everything worked great - comfy bed and pillows, nice toiletries, good water pressure in the shower, easy to access outlets for charging devices, filtered water stations on each floor, etc. The hotel itself is near so many cool shops and restaurants right around the property, making it ideal as a home base on the west side of LA. The reason I enjoyed the hotel so much was the great service. We were greeted warmly at check-in and the front desk staff was all so helpful and friendly. The valet was always helpful and prompt. The bellhop helping with our bags was very professional. When we requested extra bedding, housekeeping was friendly and quick. When I had a question about the package I had booked, the front desk agent got it resolved in a kind manner. I was just so impressed with all of the staff I encountered. Special thanks to Haley and her staff at the front desk for helping make the stay so memorable and wonderful. This is my new go-to hotel in LA! Read less

Enjoyed Stay at Shay. The room was clean and spacious. Bathroom was clean and Spacious. The Staff was very responsive and very helpful where required. There was an issue with the billing at Zaytinya, except that everything was perfect. I would like to go back in stay back in Shay.

Staff are very friendly, would def consider staying here again when we visit… Read more
