Drift, a venue for the Independent Traveler

This is the type of place that you gather at with your closest. It's intimacy calls for the most personal of get-togethers full of siestas, sombreros & sun. The rustic Baja ranch with chic industrial finishes of concrete steel and wood provide a stylish backdrop for a maracha shaking good time and beervana party of your dreams. This super sleek hostel is loft living at it's finest and can accommodate up to 16 guests within the walls of it's 8 rooms. How about hosting a group getaway where you and your crew take over the whole shebang and rent all 8 of the rooms? You can be the hostess with the mostess and have a pre-party, party and post party! So put those hard earned vacation days to immediate use, email the gang and plan that long-awaited reunion. 

We can envision old friends sitting at the communal tables in the courtyard, telling inside jokes, reminiscing about the 'good ol days' and playing throwback drinking games. You may not be able to remember those drinking game rules, but hey that's half the fun right?! We can imagine you sunkissed salt gypsies playing guitar by the flickering light of the bonfire, dining amongst candles on the weathered wooden tables and embarking on surfing adventures in between. What about hosting a creative workshop or retreat here? Your elopement or vow renewal perhaps?  This haven would be home to a funfest of any type. The style-centric surroundings, the grove of swaying palms.. You can see how one could truly drift away.

HISTORY LESSON: This building was transformed by Stu from an old 6 bedroom apartment building into the 8 room glorious community focused gem it is today. Minimalistic design abounds but with the addition of perfectly curated and thoughtful pieces placed throughout. Handmade copper pipes, plaid bed linens keep the minimalistic architecture from feeling stark or stale. You will discover charming touches like the Aculpulco chairs made at the hotel by the gardner Benito, farm style copper spigots in the showers, hammocks and gold-dipped punching bags. Vintage Lucha wrestling posters sourced from Mexico city provide the perfect cheeky and colorful touch to the rooms.

DRIFT was designed around the concept of connecting with like-minded travelers and gathering together. There are no giant and impeding walls separating you from your nearest and dearest. The social environment spills onto a central courtyard and shared kitchen so that you can interact with your guests throughout your stay. In addition to the communal concept, the curfew for events is midnight.. Hooray! That means you can party around that crackling bonfire past your bedtime. BYO is permitted. Yes, you can bring your own alcohol AND select the caterer of your choice. So stock up on those delicious Mexican beers and street tacos.
