Santa Monica Proper Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels
Staying at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel was an absolute delight. The room was spotless, beautifully designed with a modern touch, and incredibly comfortable. The gym is well-equipped and perfect for a quick workout. I especially loved the complimentary morning tea and light snacks served downstairs—such a nice little treat to start the day. The rooftop pool and restaurant are stunning, offering breathtaking views of the ocean, especially at sunset. The only minor downside is that there are parties on weekends on the upper floors and ground level, which might be noisy if your room is close to the pool area. However, as long as you’re booked away from those zones, it’s completely peaceful. Overall, this place nails the vibe—stylish, relaxed, and full of character. Highly recommend!

The seaside area features well-maintained fitness zones and recreational spaces, making it easy to stay active or simply unwind in nature. The ambiance is quiet yet luxurious, offering a rare blend of tranquility and elegance.

Hilton Santa Monica
This was my first hotel stay during my trip to the U.S., and Hilton Santa Monica delivered a really pleasant experience. The building isn’t flashy or overly grand like some of the high-end hotels back home—instead, it has a cozy, welcoming vibe that feels more authentic and relaxed. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and featured modern amenities. One thing I noticed is that they don’t provide disposable toiletries, which I actually appreciate—it’s clearly part of their eco-friendly initiative. If you need anything, just ask the front desk; it’s simple and thoughtful. Upon check-in, I received two bottles of bottled water, and after finishing them, I could refill using my empty bottle at designated stations around the property. This system is not only sustainable but also super convenient. It’s something I wish more hotels in other countries would adopt. Overall, the location is excellent—easy access to downtown Santa Monica and the beach via public transit. Comfortable, practical, and environmentally conscious. Definitely a top pick for my next visit to the area.
Shore Hotel
We arrived at the hotel earlier than check-in time, which is 4 PM, so we checked in our luggage. The front desk staff, Tom, was incredibly welcoming and helpful right from the start. When I picked up my bags later, he noticed it was my first stay here and kindly took a moment to explain how to use the key card for the elevator—though I already knew, his thoughtful gesture made me feel truly valued. It’s clear this team genuinely cares about guest experience. From the warm greeting to the small but meaningful details, every interaction stood out. A fantastic first impression with excellent service that goes above and beyond. I’ll definitely be back.
