STAY WELL
WHEN A HARVARD-TRAINED ARCHITECT AND URBAN
DESIGNER ADDS INNKEEPER TO HER RESUME, THE RESULTANT
EXPERIENCE IS SURE TO BE AN IMMERSION IN GOOD DESIGN.
BUT WHEN ARCHITECT SHANGWEN CHIU KENNEDY AND HER
HUSBAND, MIKE, PURCHASED THE INN AT MOONLIGHT BEACH
IN SAN DIEGO IN LATE 2016, THEY DECIDED TO SET AN EXAMPLE,
AS WELL AS SOME VERY ASPIRATIONAL GOALS, FOR THE
OVERALL DESIGN AND EXPERIENCE OF THEIR NEW VENTURE.
Their ambitions were rewarded in 2019 when the inn became the first hotel
in the world to receive WELL Certification at the Platinum level, as well as
the first WELL Certified building in the San Diego area. Administered by the
International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), the WELL Building Standard
focuses on the implementation, validation, and measurement of features
that support and advance human health and wellness.

The inn's very mission statement illustrates the sustainable energy behind
the design of the spaces and the entire experience: "Committed to serving
as a place where guests passively improve their wellbeing and connect
with nature," the inn has established a setting intended to nurture "guests'
aspirations, creativity, authenticity, and connection with community."
With its seaside location, panoramic views, and thoughtful, peaceful spaces,
the inn's WELL attributes-to include the water for sinks, showers,
and baths that is purified through its whole-house water filtration system;
the circadian lighting systems to promote overall alertness; and fitness,
yoga, and meditation spaces to balance body and mind-are bonuses to
a carefully planned destination for rest and sanctuary.
Lush, secluded
outdoor spaces
lend overall
tranquility and
a connection
to nature.
