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!

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.

Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica

Staying just a short walk from Santa Monica Beach was a major plus—perfect for morning strolls or sunset views. The hotel only offers valet parking, so if you're driving, you’ll need to rely on that service (no self-parking available), but it’s still convenient and well-managed. One of the best perks? Free coffee served in the lobby every morning at 6:30 AM—ideal for starting the day right. Around the hotel, there’s a great variety of dining options, making breakfast easy to grab on the go. You’ll also find a gas station, convenience store, and even a large Walgreens within walking distance, perfect for picking up travel essentials. The only small downside is the lack of luggage or souvenir shops onsite—so if you’re looking to pick up a few gifts or travel accessories, you’ll need to head out. That said, the building directly across the street is currently under construction, which could mean more buzz and amenities in the near future. Overall, the location is unbeatable, the service is smooth, and the vibe is just right—great value and a comfortable stay.
