Donna Visits Bluestem Hotel,
Torrance's "First Boutique Hotel"
|
|
Growing up, I vividly recall my coaches, journalism teacher and grandma encouraging me to surround
myself with good people, people filled with passion and inspiration. Throughout my two-hour visit to
Bluestem Hotel, I felt myself surrounded with individuals with extreme passion. Bluestem is Torrance’s
first boutique hotel and those involved are eager to share their story.
“We wanted to bring something unique and cutting edge to Torrance. This is the city I grew up in.
Torrance is experiencing growth in the high tech and medical fields and we are so happy to provide this
new, exquisite boutique hotel,” stated Neera Chanani, CEO.
The journey began four years ago with the question, "What do we want to do?" Chanani has vast
experience in the hospitality industry. By studying and visiting several soft brands, they chose to be part of Choice Hotels, Ascend Hotel line. Ascend Hotels are woven into the culture and fabric of their communities, featuring art and amenities that put local flavor first.
Like the swaying, long grass that bears its name, Bluestem Hotel is firmly rooted in Southern California’s
cool, coastal vibe and stands as a sanctuary in the South Bay. “When guests stay in our hotel, we want
them to relax. We celebrate our lush surroundings with living walls and sustainable, adaptable spaces,”

Spotlighted in Sacramento: The 2019 Leadership Torrance class
|
|
The 2019 Leadership Torrance class just returned from a successful two-day trip to Sacramento. The visit included a tour of the historic Capitol building and Q&A sessions with a Sacramento city councilmember, the chief of staff for Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi of Torrance, and lobbyists for the City of Torrance—all of whom provided valuable insight into the inner workings of state government. The class also enjoyed one-on-one time with Assemblymember Muratsuchi himself, who graciously fielded questions about leadership, government, and the issues facing his district. To close out their Capitol experience, the class visited both the Assembly and Senate chambers to see California’s legislature in action. As part of the Assembly’s official business of the day, Assemblymember Muratuschi recognized Leadership Torrance from the floor of the chamber.
