Owner & Creative Director at The Culver Hotel

A little bit about Maya…

Hotelier and Creative Director Maya Mallick is responsible for bringing the historic Culver Hotel in Los Angeles back to life, transforming it into a beacon for the community and one of the most sought-after luxury boutique hotels in the city. Under Mallick’s stewardship, the Culver Hotel swiftly became an iconic gathering place for in-the-know Angelenos, playing an integral part in the revival of Culver City, and earning the property many accolades, including being named one of the “Best Hotels in Los Angeles” by Travel + Leisure. In 2017, Mallick was the recipient of the Chamber’s “Trailblazer Award” acknowledging her extraordinary contribution in revitalizing Culver City and The Culver Hotel as a premiere destination.

An artist at heart, Mallick began her career in fashion, developing and manufacturing her own clothing label with her sisters which kick-started her career in creative entrepreneurship. As the daughter of a pioneering female hotelier and restaurateur, she came across the neglected hotel in 2007, and was inspired to revive its energy as a storied architectural jewel and National Landmark of the area. A designer with a soft spot for historic buildings and authentic craftsmanship, Mallick meticulously restored the 46-room flatiron with a fresh and relevant palate, scoured markets for antiques, hand-selected fabrics, and custom-made pieces to stay true to the integrity of the property. Drawing from her passion for design and experiential curation, Mallick was able to bring back the classic elegance and nostalgia of the 1920’s, and reimagine the property through an artistic and modern lens - not just as a hotel, but a creative venue for exclusive events, musical programming, memorable culinary experiences and local collaborations. Her vision was to create an artful and lively destination with a European ambiance that could provide people happiness, beauty and a part in its history. Mallick has always been drawn to the world of boutique hotels because they are creative platforms that bring together design and community and allow us to create experiences unique to a property’s story, character and neighborhood. She truly embraces the Art of Hospitality and is dedicated to continuing her journey towards mastering it.
