Beautiful architecture and spacious rooms with many original features. Staff helpful and afternoon tea a great tradition. Hope they dont ruin it with promised upgrade with bar, swimming pool and extra rooms. Gym not functioning when we were there but it felt like a relaxing place to stay.

A beautiful historic hotel on Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica!!! A perfect view with eacy access to the beach and the promenade. The large apartment guest rooms were comfortable.
I loved my stay there and look forward to returning next year.

The retro decor was unbelievable!! We Loved it. The one bedroon suites were spacious and the housekeeping immaculate.Would recommend it to friends and families. We were celebrating our 20th anniversary.......

I love this hotel. It is located right across from the beach, has kitchenettes, breakfast and teatime treats. The hotel is well within walking distance to shopping, dining of all kinds, movies and all sorts of entertainment at the Promenade. Also on Wed. & Sat. there is a farmer's market right around the corner.
