Studio PCH and Montalba Architects have converted a 1950s beachfront hotel into Nobu Ryokan Malibu, the first in a line of high-end, Japanese-inspired retreats.
Stretching along a waterfront property in the affluent California city, the boutique hotel is the first in Japanese restaurant chain Nobu's Ryokan collection of exclusive retreats in exotic settings and gateway cities. The line is named after a type of traditional Japanese inn that first emerged in the 1600s.
