The Drifter Hotel

A mix of contemporary and 1950's furnishings fill the lobby bar space, accented with greenery and contemporary pendant lighting.

The Drifter is the first hotel by trio Jayson Seidman, Zach Kupperman, and Alex Ramirez, who are pushing the concept of a hotel brand that focuses on building dynamic, culturally-enhanced experiences for modern-day drifters. In addition to revamping the finishes and building a complete package of curated accessories, the redesign created spaces for cultural programming, such as art shows and live music. A tropical courtyard and pool, adorned with a cantilevered disco ball, provides a contemporary setting for such programs. A hotel bar, which is accessible from both the pool side courtyard and interior lobby bar, offers a diverse array of cocktails inspired by the eclectic decor.

The architecture of the hotel is a reworked modernist building that maintains reference to the 1950s era.

The Lobby Reception space is adorned with mid-century modern pendant lighting, tropical wall graphics, and color furnishings.

A built in banquette with light green, tweed patterning is paired with tropical, wooden folding chairs.

The Lobby Bar serves a mix up of frozen cocktails, Japanese beer and sake, and locally grown wine.

The Double Queen Guest Room's minimalist interiors include a custom, double platform bed, ceramic tile floors, and troweled concrete walls.

The Bunk Room, located on the first floor, has direct pool access. Custom built in bunk beds provide the perfect accommodations for a group of friends.

A cantilevered disco ball hangs over the courtyard pool, while guest room balconies overlook the shared communal space.

Vertical wood screens and white metal guards decorate the second floor balcony.
