Overview

Located right on the clean Santa Monica sand, this hotel offers outstanding ocean views, surf sounds and cottage-style beachfront rooms. Custom luxury beach decor permeates this plush hotel, as do the beautiful, ostensibly three-dimensional paintings depicting the days of Santa Monica in the 1930s. Its proximity to the surf makes it the ideal choice for those who wish to sleep to the sound of crashing waves. Dining choices include 1 Pico, a premier Los Angeles area restaurant, and Handle Bar, which features a daily Happy Hour.
