For as typically as we have actually enjoyed a tuna sandwich and vinegar shrub in the yard of Gjusta, it was just recently that we stumbled upon Gjelina Hotel (previously called Vitorrja), the very first hotel from the Gjelina Group behind both Gjusta and Gjelina in Los Angeles. In spite of its place one block from the boardwalk and beach in Venice, Gjelina Hotel is extremely non-beachy. with a style motivated by the downplayed interiors of Eastern Europe, the energy of standard boarding houses, and the refined quality of personal hotels. At its start. the hotel was named after creator Fran Camaj’s Albanian auntie. Vitorrja. who grew up in Montenegro with his mother Gjelina and aunt Gjusta. The design is based upon the idea of what Vitorrja’s home might appear like today: vintage lighting, walnut accents, mohair couches, and oil paintings. Here’s an appearance within.
