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’ve stayed in a different hotel every night for a week while traveling for work and this is the first room that had no indication that it was cleaned with COVID in mind. Every other room has been sealed and had disposable cups etc. Although I’m pretty sure no one with COVID has been in this room judging by the amount of dust and the shut up smell… Read more
I’ve stayed in a different hotel every night for a week while traveling for work and this is the first room that had no indication that it was cleaned with COVID in mind. Every other room has been sealed and had disposable cups etc. Although I’m pretty sure no one with COVID has been in this room judging by the amount of dust and the shut up smell it has, it’s still disconcerting. I’m not sure you can appreciate the dust on the shelf and window through the pictures but it looks like (and smells like) the room hasn’t been open in some time. The saving grace here is the view and the staff was very pleasant and helpful while checking in. The bathtub is extremely deep and would not be suitable for anyone with knee/hip issues to get in and out of. There is a chain lock on the door, haven’t seen one of those in a hotel in forever. The door is directly across from the neighboring room and it sounds like they are in this room every time they go in and out . is an outside walkway that must be taken to get to the room. The linens are clean and the bed is comfortable, it’s just not what I was expecting given the price tag. Definitely a let down. Read less

Out of this world views of the ocean and santa monica pier. Sunset from the hotel room was amazing. Included breakfast was great. Tesla chargers to charge your tesla. Probably one of the best ocean views anywhere in the world.

Was an average experience, was hoping for a little bit more in terms of sparkle and appeal. Great location and proximity but not as impressive as it could have been if the Hotel was interested in getting us to come back

We very much enjoyed our stay, we were content with their exceptional service and will stay here again. Everything is very close by as it is a prime location. Beautiful view of the ocean from the bedrooms, also very tidy and ready for us! We thank the management of this hotel for their comforting accommodation!!
