About this property
Luxury Zen Japanese Retreat with Stunning Hollywood Hills Views & Hot Tub
Entering Merkaba Home is like stepping into a quieter rhythm of Los Angeles. The sound softens, the air feels clear, and natural light moves gently across warm wood and stone. Designed in the spirit of modern Japanese architecture, the home offers a sense of spacious calm and refined simplicity. It is a sanctuary for guests who value privacy, presence, and thoughtful design.
⸻
The Space
The interior is open and unobstructed, with clean architectural lines, curated furnishings, and a seamless indoor–outdoor connection. Floor-to-ceiling glass invites the canyon landscape inward, creating harmony between the home and its surroundings. The atmosphere is soft, minimal, and restorative. Nothing is excessive; everything supports ease of living.
A fully equipped kitchen, meditation-friendly common areas, and quiet corners for reading or reflection create a home ideal for unhurried mornings and restful evenings.
⸻
Sleeping Arrangements
The home offers three suites, each designed for rest and privacy.
• Primary Suite (Upper Level):
King bed, private balcony, fireplace, and direct access to a 450 sq ft sundeck with panoramic canyon views.
• Second Suite (Main Level):
King bed, garden views, Japanese-inspired bathing environment.
• Junior Suite + Loft Lounge:
Designed as additional retreat spaces for reading, independent rest, or quiet separation within the home.
Bedding is hotel-grade, selected for comfort, breathability, and softness.
⸻
Bathing & Wellness
Bath spaces draw influence from Japanese bathing culture: warm water, quiet lighting, natural materials, and elemental calm. Smooth stone surfaces and deep Hinoki-style soaking tubs encourage slow bathing rituals and restoration.
Exclusive wellness option:
Merkaba Home partners with Tomoko Spa to offer in-residence Japanese massage treatments, available by advance reservation for guests seeking deeper relaxation.

Frequently asked questions
About the host

Why they chose this property
Laurel Canyon has a rare quality of stillness. It is part of Los Angeles, yet it feels set apart from it — elevated, slow, and surrounded by nature. The hills create a natural sound barrier, allowing the area to remain peaceful even though it is minutes from West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and the Sunset Strip.
What we appreciate most about the neighborhood is its sense of sanctuary. Artists, creatives, and those who value privacy have been drawn to this canyon for decades. The air is clearer. The light moves beautifully across the hills throughout the day. Mornings are quiet, and evenings feel calm and expansive.
This is a setting for reflection, restoration, and being present — close to everything, yet protected from the pace of the city.

What makes this property unique
Merkaba Home is designed as a sanctuary, not just a place to stay. The architecture follows a Japanese-inspired approach to space, light, and material, where calm is created through proportion, openness, and the thoughtful absence of visual noise. Every view, line, and surface has been considered to support a sense of ease and presence.
What sets this home apart is the quality of stillness it holds. The canyon becomes part of the interior experience — the landscape is not a backdrop; it is a participant. Natural light changes the atmosphere throughout the day, creating quiet, shifting moments that encourage reflection and rest.
Unlike many homes in the Hollywood Hills, Merkaba Home does not compete for attention. It invites slowness, clarity, and breathing room. It is a space meant to be lived in with intention, where guests can reconnect with themselves and the world around them at a gentler pace.
This is not a high-energy scene.
It is a place where presence deepens.
