Stay in Dogtown at Hotel Erwin in Venice

Overlooking Los Angeles' cultural playground by the sea, Venice Beach, Joie de Vivre's Hotel Erwin is the hot spot if you're in the mood for a stroll, skate, surf or swim all the while having your senses stimulated by vibrant art, diverse cuisine and the best in music. The hotel celebrates Venice culture and transcends the beat of the street with its wall to wall art displays and rooftop views of the Pacific and all the happenings around town.

Red Bull has recently collaborated with the centrally located hotel with the launch of its Red Bull Dogtown Suite. The 750 square foot room pays homage to the art and culture scene of Los Angeles and is completely decked out with surf- and skateboard-inspired décor and surrounded by art work created by artist/designer James Haunt.

If you love art, killer ocean views, a private balcony and an evening turntable spin while hanging out in your room, Hotel Erwin's Red bull Dogtown Suite can be reserved for $1500. For details and bookings, guests can contact the Sales Department at (310) 452-1111.
