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.

Staff is fantastic. Ramon at the front helped me out big time. Easy checkin and valet. 5 or 6 great restaurants close. And the view might be the best in that side of ocean ave

Every time I visit Santa Monica, the Shore Hotel is my go-to. The location can't be beat and the price can't either. The hotel is eco-friendly with top-notch management, staff and customer service. I always look forward to my next visit.

As a socal dude, it might seem strange to stay in socal, but the Shore demonstrates why you don't need to go far to experience beauty. Our girl Jazmin instantly made us feel relaxed and right at home. Shout out to Jazzy Jazz!

Highly recommend The Shore! The location cannot be beat - right across from the pier, walkable to many restaurants and the view! Aside from that, the service from the moment we pulled up from the Valet staff, to Ramon assisting at the front desk to check us in was top notch. Ramon went above and beyond to get to know us a bit and why we were staying in the area (early doctor's appointment at UCLA). Ramon took the time to make sure we felt welcome. Additionally, he followed up with some helpful emails with recommendations for places to eat and things to do near by. He also took the extra time to call that evening to be sure the room was agreeable and to wish me well for my upcoming appointment. The entire staff was warm and friendly and I cannot recommend The Shore enough! From location to staff the place is fantastic. Read less

The best thing about the hotel is the location, the rooms are 3-4 star quality. I've had terrible customer service since staying here, in short there was an issue with payment, my company were paying for the trip but when I arrived they said there was no payment, i offered my credit card as they were being very rude at the front desk although my company told me it had been paid. My company then called up and confirmed again the payment which they was told was all fine. I didn't check my bank account until I got back from the trip and the money had been taken away still. Since being back I have tried to contact the hotel on over 4 occasions with emails and calls but I've had no response. Niceish hotel, probably over priced, the pool is tiny and no ambience in the hotel. Just a good location is all. Read less
