Culture Shock to Culture Architect

Tamie Adaya, a passionate student of global pop-culture, art, history,
and politics, is revitalizing the principles of
what it means to be a Renaissance woman, hotelier, and mother in the
21st century. Tamie runs the urbane Hotel Shangrila and owns and
operates the Santa Monica based artist collective Crown Jewels while simultaneously updating her popular blog TamieAdaya.com.

Tamie’s aptitude for luxury and refinement is the underlying
foundation that joins together opulence and simplicity; lavishness and sensuality. This is illustrated in every facet of her life and career:
from the Streamlined design of the Hotel Shangrila to her union of
the art, fashion, and music that is Crown Jewels.

A well-versed traveler, Tamie has afforded herself knowledge of
culture and community that most only dream of. From Hearst Castle to the Rock Wall of Parque Guell to Istanbul; West Coast to East Coast,
Tamie offers more than experience through her words, she offers
lifestyle.

Tamie Adaya is quickly becoming the barometer of cool; her palate
unprecedented and her words unpioneered. Tamie Adaya’s influential
experience in art, travel, and fashion pave the way from culture shock
to culture architect.
