### Bud's at La Playa
## Preserving a Legend
As a beloved historic institution, Bud’s was handled with care. Updates were consciously intended to feel as though they are simply a deeper reflection of what was always there. With a range of intimate nooks and crannies, the newly imagined Bud’s offers more room for both loud camaraderie and intimate scheming. While considered as a dark and moody space, added splashes of color and textile offers the slightest hint that the bar is evolving and ready to welcome a new generation of guests.

## In-Room Barmoire
Our Barmoires were custom fabricated for each guest room and suite. Each piece features a warm, rich wood bar with marble countertops and brushed brass finishes. It is adorned with specialty liquors in standard sizes, glassware, and a collection of curated cocktail recipes. A nod to the elegant manor parlour rooms of yesteryear, the Barmoire is an invitation for a spontaneous gathering or a quiet drink, where creation, conversation, and the occasional indulgence are welcomed.
