Paradise Recording
Downtown Santa Monica

A private lounge that already looks like the party.

Bar area, couch seating, warm lighting, kitchenette, and a private bath — an intimate downtown Santa Monica lounge for up to 35 guests, two blocks from the Third Street Promenade. A flat $100/hr with instant booking: birthdays, showers, listening parties, mixers, and launch nights that don't need a banquet hall.

Instant confirmation on Peerspace — flexible cancellation and $1M liability coverage on every booking.

walk in, host, walk out

Zero-decoration hosting.

The lounge is furnished the way you'd style it yourself — curated seating, distinctive artwork, warm light, and a real bar area — so a great night needs nothing but your people and a playlist. Set the catering on the kitchenette counter, stock the bar, and you're hosting.

It's bookable 8 am – 8 pm weekdays, all day on weekends — including all-day weekend availability most Santa Monica venues can't offer — and the space is professionally cleaned and reset before every booking.

  • Bar area + couch seating — cocktail-party flow for up to 35 guests in 1,000 sq ft.
  • Kitchenette + private bath — outside catering welcome; guests never leave the space.
  • Photographs like a venue — warm lighting and curated design, no rental-hall energy.
  • Covered, properly — booked on Peerspace with secure payment, flexible cancellation, and $1M liability coverage.
  • $100/hr flat — same rate any day, 3-hour minimum, 15% off 8+ hours, instant confirmation.

the music angle

Listening parties live here.

The lounge shares a building with Paradise Recording, our two-room studio. Artists finish a record down the hall, then premiere it in the lounge the same night — one address for the last mix and the first toast. If your event is a release party, we can talk through timing both.

event questions

Good to know.

How much does it cost to rent a private event space in Santa Monica?
A flat $100 per hour in either space — the same rate for events, meetings, and shoots — with a 3-hour minimum, so an intimate three-hour gathering is $300, and bookings of 8+ hours take 15% off.
How many guests can I host?
Up to 35 guests in either space. The lounge (1,000 sq ft) is built for cocktail-style mingling with its bar area and couch seating; the suite (1,853 sq ft, 360° windows) suits daytime showers, mixers, and workshops that want natural light.
Can I bring my own food, drinks, or caterer?
Yes — the lounge has a kitchenette and bar area, and the suite has a full modern kitchen with an island that works well for catering setups, dessert tables, or a self-serve bar. Outside catering is welcome.
What events work best in the lounge?
Birthdays, baby and bridal showers, engagement parties, listening parties, launch nights, networking mixers, holiday gatherings, and intimate dinners. The curated furniture and warm lighting mean the space photographs like a venue, not a rental hall — minimal decorating required.
Where do guests park, and what about the neighborhood?
We're on 4th St in downtown Santa Monica, two blocks from the Third Street Promenade — public parking structures on 4th and 5th are a block away and start with free time, and rideshare drop-off is easy. Guests can walk to dinner or the beach after.
Why book through Peerspace instead of directly?
Protection, for both of us. Every Peerspace booking includes secure payment, a Very Flexible cancellation policy (full refund up to 24 hours before start), and $1,000,000 in liability coverage — the kind of cover a private party at home or an off-the-books venue simply doesn't have.
