"Situated smack dab between Los Feliz and Thai Town, the Cara Hotel couldn’t have picked a more unassuming location. But pass through the courtyard lined with centuries-old olive trees, through the oversize arched doorway, and you’ll step into an urban oasis. Rooms include private courtyard balconies, eye-pleasing natural linens, and earthy finishes that bring the outside in. The hotel’s airy lobby, with its custom crown molding, pearlescent Venetian plaster walls, and sky-high arched ceilings, is the perfect backdrop for a Zoom call at your enviable remote office. Cara’s outdoor restaurant is suited for LA’s most popular competitive sport—al fresco cocktailing—with seating surrounding a swimming pool-sized water feature that lends the feel of a Moroccan riad." - Krista Simmons
