Hotel Casa del Mar

We had a corporate trip at Casa Del Mar and couldn't have been happier with our experience. The location was wonderful - right on the beach/boardwalk. The food and drinks (coffee to wine) were top-notch. The menu in the restaurant and apps in the bar area were perfect & very good. The rooms were beautiful and so well decorated - we had a room that wasn't ocean facing, and it had lots of light and a great experience. The front desk staff was lovely, accommodating a few asks that I had - including receiving a package I had shipped. Thank you to the entire staff. We had a great time!

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights and were blown away by how nice it was. The location is the best so close to the Santa Monica pier. But you may end up not even leaving the hotel it’s that nice. The property is extremely well kept and the staff are all on point. You know a place is nice when the only negative people can find is the price. For me it was worth every $.

I haven't been to LA in a while, and now I had to work in Beverly Hills, but I wanted the ocean, so I stayed at the Casa del Mar in Santa Monica, and I loved every minute I spent there, and every detail: The lush design, the lovely room (very quiet suite on the 7th floor; thanks for the sweet upgrade!), the gorgeous beach (endless!), the awesome view (to the beach, the palm trees, the pier, the Pacific...), the sunshine (yeah, well, that's Southern California for you, I know), the friendly, efficient and super-helpful staff, the extras (the house car from 4 to 11 p.m.), the delicious breakfast (which I had in my room every day of the 5 days I stayed, because I did not want to miss the view), the fact that guests of the Casa can also lunch and dine at the Shutters on the Beach next door. I loved the Nespresso coffee maker and the generous supply of bottled water without any extra charge in my room. I loved the huge bathroom and the cleanliness. I also loved the location: downtown Santa Monica and Pier are walkable, Venice Beach is within reach of the house car, and for every distance you might want to uber to, there are ubers available (I never waited more than 1 minute). Drive over from and back to LAX airport was about 30 minutes. From the very first moment on I felt at home, and I enjoyed every moment I stayed at Casa del Mar. I will definitely be back!

My wife and I recently had an amazing experience staying on a Saturday night to celebrate our anniversary. Brian went out of his way to make our night special upgrading our partial ocean room to a suite. He even went further sending us Champagne and chocolate covered strawberry’s! So nice to feel so welcome at a high end hotel. Thank you so much Brian and the staff at Casa Del Mar!

We are currently here and booked a 4 nite trip as part of our California road trip and Casa Del Mar was the most expensive and only 5* hotel we’d booked yet turned out to be the only one we had issues with. Positives - Location Breakfast staff are brilliant Room decor Negatives No information given at check in. No welcome drink (included in resort fee) given to us.. we had to follow up. Breakfast is soo expensive.. $14 for a bagel. Parking is super expensive. Room 532… OMG!!! We returned at 10pm to our room vibrating, doors shaking and what can only be described as the worst AC type noise ever x10!!! We called for help and were told there was nothing that could be done by maintenance as the room is above the generator/ AC system for the hotel and some guests are ok but others find it unacceptable and we should request a room move.. At 10pm we found ourselves at reception who gave us a lesser basement room to sleep that night then in the morning we had to speak to a further 2 hotel staff and explain the saga again. We were moved to a nicer room thankfully and no further issues. However, moving room twice in a 4 night stay was not fun at all and impacted our stay when we’d paid a huge amount for this part of our trip. I am shocked the hotel puts guests in this room.
