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!
Regent Santa Monica Beach
Stayed at Regent Santa Monica Beach during New Year's Eve and was absolutely impressed by the entire experience. The room was immaculately clean, staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout our visit. What stood out most was how close we were to the beach—stepping outside, we were greeted by calm, serene waters perfect for a peaceful stroll. 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. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or a relaxing escape from the everyday, this hotel delivers on every level. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s an experience. Highly recommend for anyone seeking comfort, beauty, and proximity to the ocean.
Oceana Santa Monica, LXR Hotels & Resorts
Staying at Oceana Santa Monica was an absolute highlight of my trip to Los Angeles. The location is perfect—just steps away from the beach and within easy reach of Santa Monica Pier and downtown shopping. My room was spacious, beautifully designed with a modern coastal vibe, and the bed was incredibly comfortable—woke up feeling completely refreshed. The staff went above and beyond with warm, genuine hospitality; they remembered my name and even helped with luggage without being asked. Dining at the on-site restaurant was a treat—fresh seafood, thoughtful menu choices, and excellent service. The whole experience felt luxurious yet welcoming. I’ve stayed at many seaside hotels, but this one truly stands out. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, upscale getaway with that perfect California beach vibe.
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.

Staying at the Huntley Santa Monica Beach Hotel was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, offering great recommendations for local spots and assisting with any requests promptly. The room itself was immaculately clean—every detail, from the plush bedding to the spotless bathroom, showed real attention to quality. I especially loved how quiet and serene the space felt, despite being just a short walk from the beach. Waking up to the sound of waves and stepping out onto the sand in the morning was pure bliss. The whole vibe is upscale yet warm and inviting, making it feel like home away from home. If you're looking for a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and charm in Santa Monica, this hotel is a must-try.

Staying at the Ambrose Hotel in Santa Monica was absolutely perfect. Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood, it offers a peaceful retreat away from tourist crowds, traffic, and parking stress—while still being steps away from all the best of Santa Monica. The complimentary 3-mile Tesla shuttle service is a game-changer for getting around without hassle. We especially loved the inviting lobby seating areas, ideal for relaxing after a long day. Every morning, we’d stroll across the street to Tartine for fresh croissants and coffee—simple pleasures done right. From the warm hospitality to the thoughtful touches throughout, this stay exceeded every expectation. I couldn’t recommend the Ambrose more highly.

I loved strolling along the nearby pedestrian street for dinner and shopping; there’s such a vibrant mix of restaurants and boutiques. The hotel itself offers excellent amenities and top-notch service—clean rooms, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. It’s clear they care about guest comfort.

I stayed here during my English language course in Santa Monica, and it was a great experience. The breakfast was simple but included, which was a nice touch—especially helpful when you're on a tight schedule. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the stay feel welcoming and stress-free. That’s why I ended up rebooking for a longer stay.

Sea Blue Hotel
Staying at Sea Blue Hotel was a great experience overall. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from Santa Monica Pier and Muscle Beach, making it super convenient for exploring the area on foot. The property itself is clean, well-maintained, and has a nice modern vibe. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room to relax after a day of sightseeing. While there’s no air conditioning, the weather was pleasantly cool during our visit, and the fan in the room worked perfectly to keep things breezy. One thing to note is that the neighborhood can get a bit noisy at night, especially if you leave the window open—something we were aware of and managed accordingly. We felt safe during the day, but walking back late at night, we noticed a few people around who made us cautious. That said, it’s more reflective of the local area than anything the hotel did wrong. Overall, the value for money is excellent, the staff were friendly, and the central location makes it hard to beat. I’d definitely stay here again.
Ocean View Hotel
The Ocean View Hotel truly delivers on every front—excellent staff, stunning views, and an unbeatable location right in front of the Santa Monica Pier. Waking up to the ocean breeze and watching the sun set over the water was pure magic. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Being steps away from the pier, restaurants, shops, and beaches made everything so convenient. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of comfort, service, and location. I’d absolutely recommend this gem to anyone visiting Santa Monica.
