Our favourite rooms
They're all curvy beauties (the arc-shaped headboards practically guarantee sweet dreams) and all are awash with sense-delighting patterns and textures. Splash out on a spacious Premier or Proper suite for maximum lounging space, including breeze-blessed balconies.
Poolside
The saltwater rooftop pool is the only one for miles around, and is quite the local hot spot (literally, considering the number of sunny days Santa Monica enjoys each year). It’s a lounger-lined space with ocean views, cabanas, a circular bar and a Med-inspired restaurant.
Spa
Angelenos can get a full Ayurvedic MOT at Surya spa, which has been developed with doctor, chef, and herbalist Martha Soffer. Healing hands offer Abhyanga four-handed massages, soothing Shirodhara forehead oils and steams, cacao and rose massages, and crystal and colour therapies. And you can go deeper still, with sound baths, transcendental meditation, astrology sessions, Ayurvedic cookery classes, and three- to 28-day retreats.
Packing tips
Bring your floppiest, most chic sunhat, for whiling away the days poolside on the rooftop.
Also
There’s lift access everywhere, and several categories of ADA-compliant accessible rooms.
Pet‐friendly
Bring along your pooch for $100 a night (they’ll get a Proper Pet gift, too). See more pet-friendly hotels in Santa Monica.
Children
Welcome, but it's more of a grown-up hang out.
Sustainability efforts
The Leed-certified hotel has been partially renovated and partially built from scratch, and all with the environment in mind. The kitchen’s keen on sourcing local, seasonal and organic ingredients, too.
