Our variety of private event spaces, and the level of customization offered by our team, makes Shade Redondo Beach the ideal venue for everything from intimate beach weddings to unforgettable corporate retreats.

History

Michael Zislis Shade Hotel Owner

Founded by renowned local restaurateur Michael Zislis, our approach to hospitality is all about saying “yes,” customizing every guest’s experience, and serving the best food and drinks around (naturally!). Whether you’re here for work or play, we make sure the details are perfect, so you can step into the California beach lifestyle—and let us take care of the rest.

Set along the King Harbor waterfront, Shade Redondo Beach offers a front-row seat to the region’s rich maritime history. Once a working port known for its bustling fishing industry and lively boardwalk, Redondo Beach evolved into a premier coastal getaway, drawing visitors to its sandy shores and vibrant harbor. While the famous Redondo Beach Pier has welcomed sun-seekers for generations, Shade brings a new level of luxury to the marina. Built on the site of the former Red Onion restaurant—an iconic local hotspot—the hotel blends modern sophistication with the area’s deep-rooted nautical vibes. Today, Shade is where the past and present meet, offering a fresh take on waterfront hospitality in the heart of Redondo Beach.
