Venice Beach Suites & Hotel (The Potter) has Been Declared a Historical Cultural Monument!

The Los Angeles City Council has declared Venice Beach Suites and Hotel a historical cultural monument!

The 105 year old building is owned and operated by U.S. Naval Veteran Andy Layman, his wife Rose Marie, and their son in law Matt. They have spent the last 20 years restoring the building.

Venice Beach Suites & Hotel was built in 1912 by J.D. Armstrong and Maude Potter in a five-month process that used 290,000 bricks, originating as “The Potter Hotel.”

The location was the key to the property’s initial success, as it was built across from community-founder Abbot Kinney’s “Plunge,” a central point in his visionary “Venice of America.”And VBSH gives back, and is forward thinking!
