A Tribute to Luisa
Casa Luisa is a heartfelt tribute to Joel Oconer’s mother, Luisa, who embodies the warmth, care, and hospitality that define Filipino culture. Her influence inspires Joel’s dedication to creating a welcoming environment at Casa Luisa, ensuring every guest feels cherished and at home. He also honors his brothers, Jeffrey and Jonathan, by naming two of the guest rooms after them, emphasizing the importance of family in his life.
For Joel, this isn’t just a business; it’s a personal project reflecting the values and relationships that have shaped him. With a background in medicine and a current career in pharmaceutical research, Joel's passion for helping others shines through in his commitment to Casa Luisa, which he manages part-time alongside his demanding profession. Living in Hollywood with his French Bulldog pug mix, Simba, he pours his heart into this sanctuary, striving to offer an unforgettable experience for every visitor.
