Secrets of LA’s Exclusive Soho Warehouse

Hidden away in a nondescript part of starry Los Angeles lies one of the city’s buzziest hideaways.

The Soho Warehouse, the hotel offshoot of the ultra-exclusive membership-only Soho House, opened in 2019 and is building a reputation based on the brand’s penchant for high-end, all-inclusive hospitality from an exciting F&B program to its eye-popping member spaces and a souped-up minibar. Here’s what it’s like inside the trendy space.

A hotel anyone can book: Typically, the Soho House is strictly members only— but, this location serves as a hotel where anybody can reserve a room. As a result, you’re given access to the property’s range of spaces, including a picture-perfect rooftop bar and pool.

Sophisticated cocktails: As you’re gazing out onto the city skyline, order up one of the property’s inspired cocktails. One highlight is the adventurously-named mezcal-tequila concoction Junglebird Revisited. Made with Rosaluna Mezcal and Cazadores Reposado, the drink also includes Martini bitters, pineapple and lime juice, as well as a coconut wash. If you’re feeling a different kind of punch, ask for a Purple Monkey, which consists of Monkey 47 gin, along with Creme de Violette, lime and mint.

Non-alcoholic choices aplenty: Proving that their spirit-less concoctions are just as inspired as the strong stuff, the Warehouse partnered with non-alcoholic spirit brand Pentire for a range of drinks. That includes the Seward, served with either tonic or soda and made with sea rosemary, woodruff, pink grapefruit and wild seaweed.

A minibar worth staying in for: Underneath their unique wicker chandeliers, the 48 guestrooms here offer luxurious amenities, the highlight of which a souped-up mini-bar, which is anything but mini. Boasting bottles of everything from Johnnie Walker to AMASS gin and vodka, as well as Bacardi, guests can whip up a drink using a full range of cocktail attire at their disposal. That includes pairs of wine, rocks and martini glassware, as well as shot glasses and shakers. In need of an orange, lemon or lime? Yep, you’re given those too, complete with knives and a cutting board.

A focus on local brews: Aside from Peroni, the beers that flow here are local. That includes a wheat brew courtesy Eagle Rock Brewery (named after the city’s eponymous community) and an IPA courtesy Crown and Hopps (hailing from nearby Inglewood).

Party the night away: Soho Warehouse has a revolving calendar of parties and events, with a regular line out the door to prove it.

A hidden history: The building the Warehouse calls home was built in 1917 and was an industrial warehouse, followed by a recording studio.

Sweat out your cocktails the next day in the sauna: Open to hotel guests, the property’s expansive health club includes a multi-level gym, fountains for both chilled and room temperature water, as well as a steam-room and wood-paneled sauna.
