Santa Monica, Los Angeles

Virgin rating

The hotel

With roughly 70 per cent of the rooms at this hotel being suites, it’s easy to get that VIP service in the heart of Santa Monica, and these spacious options are ideal for groups and families. A freshly designed hotel with nods to the ocean, you’re just 3 short blocks away from the famous Santa Monica pier and that sparkling blue ocean. Whatever the time of day you’ll be able to get something to satisfy your taste buds at Monica’s, a farm-to-table restaurant that also offers locally sourced wines and their very own ‘Monica’s beer’ on tap. 3rd street promenade is just minutes away so you can browse the designer shops and enjoy a range of open-air restaurants and bars, or relax by the pool with a good book – the choice is yours.

The rooms are very spacious and clean. It's a few blocks from the beach and lots of restaurants. My wife an I actually switched from another hotel because our room was too small and confined. This place has a large living room with a pull out sofa bed and plenty of room to move around. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL! Read less

Great stay for a brief couple of nights in Santa Monica, all staff were very friendly and accommodating. David at reception giving us a very warm welcome and finding us the best room. As well as Isaac at concierge helping to arrange our airport transfer. Close enough access to beach and great area to stay.

Recently stayed at the Hilton Santa Monica . The hotel was well placed to all the touristy things you do in Santa monica. The hotel room extremely clean, modern and well maintained. The staff, in particular David at the front counter, was most accommodating to all requests.
