Hotel Casa del Mar, the grandest of the opulent Santa Monica, California beach clubs, dates back to the city's booming Gold Coast years and is one of the most luxurious hotels on the Pacific coast. Built in 1926, the hotel with its 129 elegant guest rooms and suites - including three magnificent two-story penthouses - features incomparable panoramas of the ocean, from Malibu to Palos Verdes. Luxurious guest rooms evoke the mood and style of the Italian and French Rivieras and feature Venetian-designed furnishings. The beach has never been quite so elegant as it is at Hotel Casa Del Mar.

Great hotel with beautiful views and excellent service. We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite that was clean and comfortable with great views of the beach. I was worried it would be too noisy but it was very quiet the entire time we were there. The service was consistently great from the valets to the wait staff at the restaurant to housekeeping. This feels like an oasis in the heart of LA. Highly recommend.

I recently visited Hotel Casa Del Mar for work, but during my birthday. I knew this hotel was beautiful, as I stayed here way back when I turned 30 years old, so it's special to me. That said, Hansel, who was at the front desk upon my arrival made this stay even more special to me - I'll forever be loyal to this hotel! Located right on the beach, and walking distance to everything you'll want to visit - ie Santa Monica wharf and promenade, as well as Venice Beach - the location can't be beat. The experience is luxury, valet is quick and easy, the team welcoming you so kind and on top of things. Then, you get a room that is clean, spacious, airy and light, with sweet details like a rubber duck at the bathtub. The gym has everything you'll need and there is even a spa. The restaurant is delicious with live music and a view of the beach. I loved the ahi appetizer. For my unique experience, after just one conversation and learning about my birthday Hansel surprised me with chocolate covered strawberries and sparkling water in my room, after I got back from a day of meetings. It means so much to me that he thought to do something kind for me, and I'm a nutrition coach so the treat couldn't have been more perfect, ha! At arrival he was welcoming, warm, interested in getting to know his guests, and on top of it all, elevated my experience with a thoughtful surprise. Love this place, and a special thanks for this trip's surprises.

We spent a few days at the hotel while seeing tourist sights in the LA area. This was our first visit. I suspect that we'll be back. It's as lovely as the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego but smaller and without all the tourists.

This Hotel Offers a Luxurious, beachfront stay with stunning ocean views and elegant coastal decor. Rooms and all the areas were very clean. Brian was very welcoming and attentive. The room feel upscale and comfortable. It's pricy but ideal for a special, scenic gateway right on the sand.

It is my 3rd time at this hotel. Always for business. They care about clients, they do everything to make you comfortable and happy. The ladies for spa and massage are exceptional. The food is amazing and my cappuccino every day of my stay was perfecto. I travel a lot and I can definetely say this is the best hotel in Los Angeles area.

I thought the hotel was spectacular. I have stayed in many 4- and 5-star hotels around the world, but never thought I would find such a beautiful hotel in Santa Monica.

I was fortunate enough to stay at Casa Del Mar my last two business trips. My room was very comfortable and well-appointed. The fluffy white bed and pillows – divine! The entire staff I encountered were helpful and courteous – from maids to wait staff in the lobby bar and restaurant. Everyone made me feel welcome – rockstar treatment though I'm far from that status. A peaceful haven after a busy day of work.
