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.

What a great place to stay. My wife, adult son and myself stayed at the Shore for three nights in a two queen bed room with partial ocean view. It was a bit crowded with three adults but we managed, and it saved money on what was an extensive and costly family holiday.

What a great place to stay. My wife, adult son and myself stayed at the Shore for three nights in a two queen bed room with partial ocean view. It was a bit crowded with three adults but we managed, and it saved money on what was an extensive and costly family holiday. Having stayed at Venice Beach only a few weeks before our stay at the Shore, we found Santa Monica much more enjoyable. There’s something for everyone within a short walk to this hotel, most notably the pier. The staff were all welcoming and supportive, and accommodated our requests without complaint. Special mention for Adriano who organised our transport to Anaheim and then back to the airport, and a tour. He also gave us great shopping and restaurant suggestions. The balcony where we could sit and have coffee or a glass of wine made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended. Read less

The Shore is perfectly situated for a stay in Santa Monica, overlooking the beach and famous pier. We stayed here 5 years ago for a few days before embarking on a cruise and the experience prompted our return.

The Shore is perfectly situated for a stay in Santa Monica, overlooking the beach and famous pier. We stayed here 5 years ago for a few days before embarking on a cruise and the experience prompted our return. This time we had a room with a garden view and terrace which was fine for us as it's peaceful and quiet. On our arrival Ramon quickly checked us in and later sent an email recommending local attractions and places to eat. This we found very useful and every place we tried was great, especially the roof top bar at the Erwin in Venice beach. Thanks Ramon! Overall a very enjoyable stay. Read less
