 “The Custom Hotel is the only
lifestyle boutique hotel
near LAX and close to West LA’s beach communities, so it is ideal for
travelers
who want to stay at a hotel with a fun, cheeky design,” said Alina
Wade,
director of sales for the Custom Hotel. “We officially re-launched
mid-September with a new attitude, airport themes, and updated
amenities like
the FlyteBoard we have in our LAX Lounge. It is a great place to chill
out
while waiting for our SUV airport shuttle ride to the airport.” Flyte
Systems
is the only full service flight information display solution that
provides real-time airline flight information
for one or more airports.“We frequently provide service for distressed passengers and the LAX Lounge is where they congregate to wait for a new flight. Naturally, the FlyteBoard is the main attraction because it gives them accurate information on when they need to be back at LAX,” said Wade. Staff uniforms at the Custom Hotel are inspired by ‘60s airline staff, with the women in sleek blouses and pencil skirts, and the men in opened collar dress shirts with pinstriped details. Name tags resemble those of airline staff as well. The Custom Hotel is Joie de Vivre’s fifth boutique property in Southern California, joining the Shorebreak Hotel in Huntington Beach, Pacific Edge Hotel in Laguna Beach, Hotel Erwin in Venice Beach, and Hotel Angeleno in Brentwood. Real-time flight
information Flyte Systems offers a suite of products
that serve the
traveling public: FlyteBoard, FlytePass, FlyteChannel,
FlyteTouch, and
now FlytePad with handheld mobile airline information.
About Custom Hotel Joie de Vivre Hotels continues to grow its Southern California inventory with the addition of the newly refreshed 250-room Custom Hotel, the only lifestyle boutique hotel situated near LAX and minutes from West LA’s beach communities. September 2011 marked the re-launch of Custom Hotel with its trademark individualized service, a new attitude, updated amenities, a revamped restaurant and bar, and an aesthetic that pays homage to the mod ‘60s when air travel was at a glamorous height. Custom Hotel has a newfound appreciation for connectivity, with a design emphasis on making the property more open and social. The hotel boasts uniquely redesigned social spaces on each floor including the "relaxation room, ”Stratosphere, the Transonic game room and meeting space Subsonic, to name just a few of the aeronautically themed public spaces. The poolside restaurant Deck 33 serves up food and drinks with a Pacific Rim influence.
