Palihouse Santa Monica

I had a wonderful stay at Maison Twenty Seven, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the property is absolutely gorgeous. The room was charming along with the entire property. A few small things kept it from being a perfect stay: I had requested their complimentary homemade cookies and a personalized celebration card to celebrate a birthday days upon arrival, but unfortunately never received either. I also had some noisy construction happening right outside my door on the morning of our last day, which continued throughout the morning which wasn't ideal. That said, the charm and unbeatable location more than made up for it, and I'd absolutely return. I didn't get the chance to try the restaurant this time, but definitely would want to!

The cutest room and the staff was so friendly and helpful! Awesome location too near the restaurants, beach and Pier in Santa Monica. Quick drive to Malibu and the shops and beaches there. Comfortable room with very cool decor. The hotel has bikes and lots go garden spaces too.

easy access to the hotel via unbusy street, valet-access to make street-parking an afterthought (though we found a spot right by the hotel for free) & a spacious, colorful, neatly decorated room. Lobby was immaculate and quiet, having the air of an old monastery.

Pleasant and helpful staff, charming building and location, and comfortable bed. Seems like a lot of deferred maintenance that new operators will hopefully address in time. I heard one patron exclaim, "I love this place, I'll be back!" so possibly some suites are more updated than mine? For the price point, I would have appreciated an included breakfast. Good food at the restaurant downstairs, would have dined there more, but people working remotely monopolized the most comfortable seating for what seemed like most of the day.

This charming old-world hotel perfectly balances thoughtful updates with its classic character and charm. The location is excellent, and the staff consistently goes above and beyond. From providing toothpaste when I forgot mine to bringing me tea and honey after the café had closed because I wasn’t feeling well, their kindness truly stands out. We always stay here when visiting our kids — it genuinely feels like our home away from home.
