The hotel

We’re suckers for unassuming packages that reveal treasures within, and this luxurious Santa Monica hotel, just a block’s walk from the Pacific, is a perfect example. It’s simple exterior and minimal signage give nothing away, but step beyond its bright green hedgerows and you’ll find a quietly confident and upscale oasis that positively oozes sophistication. From the modern elegance of its rooms and suites via the library (finished in shades of lemon and dark wood) to private dining cabanas, two heated pools and the Cast Restaurant and Lounge, serving healthy, flavourful cuisine that comes with a side order of sustainability, you just know you’re in excellent hands from the moment you check in.

Spent a couple days with my best friend for some lux low-key pool days. The decor is straight out of a Kate Spade ad. We were greeted with a glass of Prosecco. We hung out mostly at the pool, chasing the sun with help from the super friendly Jack. He kept us cool when it got too hot by bring over umbrella and we always had fresh towels and delicious cocktails and satisfying eats. As for the room, it had everything we needed. Super soft bedding and strong water pressure. Bonus points for the proximity to ChaChaChicken! Read less

The property was great, the staff are friendly when you get their attention, but they seem just as happy to ignore you as help you. No one was rude by any means, just aloof. Ricardo and Andreas were the exception, they were fantastic.
