ROOM A
“There’s a strange and wonderful energy on top of The Dutra. I imagine the ghosts of pirates past making their way up from San Diego Bay, and cosmic cowboys riding in from the Tijuana night. Room A is a meeting place. It’s actually where we first met.
When you look up from the street below, you can see the rows of whiskey bottles.* You might even spot Pappy Van Winkle himself winking down at you. But from Room A, you can see so much more—rooftops, skyrises, and ships. Sunsets are non-negotiable here. Nights are lively (this is not a place for light sleepers).
And the days pass by the windows like sky pedestrians, as curious about Room A as you are.”
What you’ll find in Room A
1 Queen Tuft & Needle bed with Parachute linens
A welcome drink on us
The Malin + Goetz products we have at home
Chemex and local beans from Dark Horse Coffee Roasters
Mini stove and oven with small island dining area and living space
Large private patio on the rooftop with a sunset sightline
$20/night parking available behind the building by request
The Quirks
Room A is up five narrow flights of stairs
Three sides of the room are all windows, so you may experience light and noise at night; as mentioned, we wouldn’t recommend this room for light sleepers
*Unfortunately, the whiskey is long gone; it’s just Nate’s fancy whiskey-colored concoction now
“The Rules”
Check-in: 3pm, Check-out: 11am
The Dutra does not allow smoking or pets in rooms and on the patios. (Though Pet Rocks are permitted.) If you choose to break “the rules,” we charge an extra cleaning fee. One necessary point about our patios: all are private, except for the common lawn on the fourth floor. It’s the one with the tiny tub, you can’t miss it.
We love parties, but for groups more than 2 or late nights (after 9pm), we ask that you check with us before you arrive. Our walls are a little thin, so your tap dancing, loud seances, bongos, and even your lively conversation can carry. The same goes for photo or film shoots. Please note that, in both cases, you may be charged an extra location or event fee.
Every stay at The Dutra comes with instant new neighbors. “The rules” are just in place to make sure everyone has the best stay. We can’t wait to have you visit!
