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.

I’ve stayed at the Hilton SM many times for business. It’s a very solid, clean hotel with a friendly staff. On this recent trip, I had some travel issues due to the global outage.

The rooms are spacious and clean. The location is really great and the restaurant has good food. Read less

Beautiful and clean hotel. Although it was a short stay, we enjoyed it. Ajay was very helpful and answered all our questions. Recommend staying at this hotel as the location is extremely convenient for Santa Monica. Walking distance to many attractions in the area.

I stayed in this hotel about a month ago for my husband’s birthday/Father’s Day. It was supposed to be a fun sexy time away from everyone and so we were kind of just in our room intimately when the door popped open. My husband had to chase out a strange man!! Where as we were worried it was some sort of sketchy things going on it actually turned out to be a technical fluke in their system because I checked in online. However, because of the inconvenience and uncomfortableness I felt after someone entered my room the manager Ajay did everything in his ability to provide additional accommodations and support. I do appreciate how the situation was handled although still very embarrassed. Despite that the room was quaint and the service outside of that was amazing. Great spot with plenty places to walk to so close by. Read less

I stayed at this Hilton over 15 times in a 2 year period and every time was a great experience. The front desk always welcomed me back and knew me by name. It was an absolute pleasure staying here. They were always professional, warm and welcoming.

Hotel was decent, beds were comfy. Easy check-in, complimentary water was nice! except for when we asked for complimentary water and the receptionist snapped at us saying water is ONLY for check-in guests (guess it wasn't complimentary after all!) Aside from the receptionist making us uncomfortable.. it was a nice stay! Thank you Hilton
