Review of La Honas (Chambe d'hôtes)

We came in to have a few drinks at this lobby bar ...

We came in to have a few drinks at this lobby bar on a Sunday afternoon. The actual bar was a tiny little bar with only 5 or 6 bar stools. Most people were just standing around the bar area so it was a bit crowded.

We had espresso martini with Grey Goose, classic Vesper martini and spicy margarita. The drinks were very strong and tasty, they offered chips as snacks. I think you can order bar food too cause I saw someone eating a big sandwich at the bar. The drink prices were not too bad for an oceanfront hotel in my opinion. Our bartender was very friendly and fast considering she was the only one working at the moment. We had small fun talks with the friendly and easy going people at the bar, most of them were not from LA.

We stayed for a while and decided to check out the Bungalow lounge next door. Remember to validate your valet ticket here cause they don't do validations at the Bungalow!

Ps. the parking at Fairmont hotel was $7 with validations first 2.5 hours, standard valet rate each additional hour. It's $20 first 2.5 hours without validations! WiFi was useless!
