From Santa Monica, California, Jon Farzam is a talented and seasoned hospitality professional who was raised by other industry veterans. He is currently serving as the Co-Owner of The Shore Hotel in Santa Monica, where - not only do they offer their guests a luxurious experience - they are also committed to being eco-conscious. Through the hard work and dedicated efforts of the entire team, The Shore Hotel obtained the Santa Monica Green Certification, the LEED Gold Certification, and the California Green Lodging Program’s Environmentalist level.

Alongside his career, Jon Farzam is passionate about organizations looking to help others, specifically The Surf Bus Foundation - a local organization that hosts bus trips for inner city kids to visit the beach.

The Shore Hotel’s eco-conscious efforts have resulted in exceeding the California minimum energy performance by a staggering 21%. In addition to the hotel’s sustainable features, Jon Farzam and his team have ensured the standard luxuries that make hotel stays so pleasant have not been forgotten. They are located within walking distance of the incredible downtown Santa Monica and all its bars, cafes, and shops—not to mention their beautiful spot across the road from the Pacific ocean.

Jon Farzam is grateful to be part of a team. He often finds himself inspired by his employees and the lives they lead. As such, he is a big proponent of work/life balance, both in his own life and in the lives of those he employs. Jon understands that someone’s professional and personal life are inextricably linked, no matter what you do. He encourages a healthy work and life balance as it ensures his employees bring their A-game both in and out of work.

Jon looks for ways to foster his calm demeanor when it comes to his personal life. To find catharsis, he can often be found traveling, in a match on the tennis court, mountain biking in the stunning California hills, or racing cars.
