Maybe you enjoy the city, maybe you don&#8217;t, but either way, you need to escape it. You can&#8217;t venture too far&#8230; but you seek serenity, solitude, and nature. An open space, some peace of mind. This is how one might stumble upon The Treehouse. If you&#8217;re like me, perhaps you googled \u201cvegan hotels in L.A.\u201d and The Treehouse populated. A vegan hotel? It&#8217;s too good to be true&#8230; But I assure you, it&#8217;s real! The Treehouse is a plant-based hideaway in the City of Angels. And so far, it&#8217;s the only one there. Upon my arrival, I noticed it certainly is a hideaway, tucked amongst the trees off of a busy residential Bel Air neighborhood street. Once I pulled into the driveway, I noticed the atmosphere was gentler, quieter, and welcoming. I was greeted by Gina Roda, the resident numerologist and chef de cuisine for my stay. A delightful hostess, full of wisdom and warmth. She gave me a brief tour, a brief history of the establishment, and showed me to my room: The Blue Room.
