Shore Hotel

Santa Monica, Los Angeles

Virgin rating

The hotel

At night, with soft blue lights illuminating its clean lines and imposing lattice canopy, the Shore Hotel sets the stage for a memorable Santa Monica stay. This sleek boutique hotel is committed to an eco-conscious approach to luxurious accommodation. So, while the rooms are minimally elegant, they incorporate sustainably sourced materials wherever possible. The private pool is solar heated, and the friendly, casual Blue Plate Taco restaurant isn’t just the kind of place locals seek out, but uses locally farmed ingredients to make its ceviches, tacos and other modern Mex cuisine. And as downtown Santa Monica is within walking distance, you can do your bit for the environment while getting to know this stylish LA neighbourhood.

Whether he’s welcoming you warmly at the front desk or making great recommendations at the concierge desk, Adriano is a wonderful example of everything that is so right at The Shore. We have stayed three times now and wouldn’t even look elsewhere for our frequent trips to Santa Monica. This hotel is spotlessly clean everywhere, the staff is without exception friendly and helpful, and the facilities are exactly what one needs and enjoys. The location is fantastic, right across from the beach and the pier, the walkability around the lively areas of Santa Monica is perfect and since Adriano is a local, suggestions and directions are spot-on. We’ve only had the opportunity to eat breakfast at The Shore, but it’s a big part of why we enjoy our stays. Served poolside or inside if you like, the choices are many, the quality is high, and the service is fantastic. Don’t overlook freshly squeezed juices and the French Toast. *The French Toast – normally not an order I would place but it had been mentioned in so many reviews that I was compelled to try it. Now, I think about it when I am back home. Raul at the poolside bar is always smiling and ready to provide whatever you may like; the team surrounding him is exemplary! In closing, if you are looking for an upscale but casual hotel with excellent service, beautiful views, and close to all of the fun in Santa Monica, look no further than The Shore! Read less

Great location, right near the Santa Monica pier and the downtown outdoor mall. Nice pool overlooking the ocean and great for sunset views.
