The hotel

The very essence of the golden age of Hollywood glamour, the Hotel Shangri-La has been welcoming guests since 1939. An Art Deco treasure, sumptuous guest rooms and suites offer iconic views of the ocean or the city and come very well-equipped indeed. When you can tear yourself away, there’s the poolside to relax by – treat yourself to a private cabana and it becomes a real retreat. There are plenty of restaurants on your doorstep but the hotel’s own should not be missed. Featuring classically trained and creative chefs, feast on the freshest local produce, handpicked from the weekly Santa Monica Farmers Market whilst admiring views of the Pacific & Palisades Park. Pre-dinner, take the elevator all the way to the top for drinks at Onyx Rooftop Bar offering world-class sunsets as well as cocktails late evenings. Santa Monica Pier is a 10-minute walk away but should you wish to explore further, the metro is also a 10-minute walk which will connect you to Hollywood, downtown and more quickly and affordably too.

I really enjoyed my stay. The staff was very helpful and friendly. This hotel is a nice place to relax and there is a good view to the ocean. The offer at the breakfast buffet was excellent and its possible to order omelet and other food.

Stayed her for the close distance to Malibu where we were having our wedding. The hotel is not associated with the Shangri-La resorts (one of the guests didn't realize that when they were there).

Stayed her for the close distance to Malibu where we were having our wedding. The hotel is not associated with the Shangri-La resorts (one of the guests didn't realize that when they were there). The hotel is an old building that has been updated and renovated with modern amenities. The bell hop, the receptionist, and concierge were all helpful and very kind. The room is on the small side, but we had a nice big comfortable bed and a great view of the ocean. The hotel is walking distance to the ocean, pier, 3rd Street promenade and the Saturday farmers market. And it's a quick Lyft/Uber/Taxi ride to Malibu. We had a great room service breakfast and highly recommend going to the rooftop bar to watch the sunset. Go a little early to stake your location since it tends to get busy with other outside guest on the weekends. Read less

Chose this hotel because of it’s location; close proximity to the beach, the Promenade and the Pier. The rooftop view is excellent specially at night when the Pier is lit up. Staff was swift to respond to our needs.

We stayed at Hotel Shangri La as the last leg of a 9 day drive down the Pacific Coast Highway on 9/5 and 9/6/149. We couldn't have picked a better place. Location was terrific, across from the beach and a walking path. Very close to the pier. It took us a minute to figure out the parking situation (valet parking is behind the hotel, not in front.)… Read more

Location was terrific, across from the beach and a walking path. Very close to the pier. It took us a minute to figure out the parking situation (valet parking is behind the hotel, not in front.) Lots of wonderful features - friendly helpful concierge, fabulous pool and hot tub area, plenty of towels, ping pong tables, extra seating to enjoy being outside. Roof top bar was AMAZING! Great place to watch the sunset. Food at the roof top restaurant was delicious. Tub/Shower combo was a bit awkward as it is an under-mount deck tub with a wide deck area that you have to step over to get into the shower - I am not so coordinated! BUT - the tub is very deep and great for a soak! Nice perks like champagne at reception, complimentary water bottle in the room, and stellar service everywhere. Highly recommended! Read less
