Los Angeles-based K Hotels, a collection of exclusive and diverse boutique hotels throughout the world, announced today that Hotel Shangri-La (Santa Monica, California) will be accommodating a group date on the January 11th episode of The Bachelor. The episode will cover a special group date and a magazine photo shoot with the newest Bachelor, Jake Pavelka. Left heartbroken on the last season of The Bachelorette, Jake is now ready to give love one more try. This handsome pilot is sure to make waves at this Santa Monica seaside property.

The Hotel Shangri-La has recently undergone a $30 million renovation and has emerged as a chic sanctuary of style, overlooking the Pacific in Santa Monica, California. This enabled the team behind The Bachelor to host the date in an elegant yet urban hotel with amazing amenities like lounge areas, a hot tub, pool, restaurant penthouse, and stunning rooftop views. Additionally, each lavish hotel room and suite affords sweeping ocean views to help make for a memorable and pleasurable experience for both the Bachelor and his group.

“We loved having the cast members and the Bachelor at our property and believe that their experiences here will bring excitement to viewers,” says Troy Pade, General Manager of Hotel Shangri-La. “We look forward to seeing how the episode turns out. It was great for Hotel Shangri-La to be a part of this and we are thankful to ABC for the opportunity.”
The new season of The Bachelor, from Warner Horizon Television, started airing on Monday, January 4, at 8/7 Central on ABC.For more information on The Bachelor visit http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelor.
