Ocean View Hotel  

On bluffs overlooking the Pacific in central Santa Monica, steps from Santa Monica Pier and Santa Monica Beach. This beach hotel sits a short walk from Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica Place and Ocean Avenue. About a 15-minute drive from LAX.

Sixty-six air-conditioned rooms mix classic comfort with chill West Coast vibes. Rooms feature iPod docking stations, minibars, pillowtop beds with down comforters and luxury sheets, 40-inch LED TVs, and private bathrooms with rainfall showerheads and designer toiletries. Some rooms take advantage of the bluff setting for ocean views. Accessible rooms, elevators and staff who speak English and Spanish are available.

Complimentary wireless internet and concierge services set the practical tone. Rent bicycles to cruise the boardwalk, grab a pick-me-up at the on-site coffee shop/cafe, or use the tour desk to plan Pier and Venice adventures. On-property services include parking, laundry/dry cleaning, an ATM and discounted access to a nearby fitness facility—so you can wake up to sea-breeze mornings and still hit your workout.

A 24-hour business center supports work on the go. Limo/town car service, express check-out and complimentary newspapers in the lobby add convenience for busy travelers.

The hotel hosts a coffee shop/cafe for casual bites and caffeine fixes. For broader options, explore nearby dining at Santa Monica Pier and Santa Monica Place just steps away.
