Sandbourne Santa Monica, Autograph Collection

I had a wonderful stay at the Sandbourne! The property is great and the staff is accommodating especially the valet guys! They were so helpful with everything from my arrival, Brian was great! Can’t wait to come back

We actually came to the hotel just to go to the restaurant, and Eric ended up being one of the most memorable parts of the experience. From the moment we interacted with him, he was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and just genuinely kind in a way that felt very natural—not forced or overly scripted like you sometimes see in hospitality. He made us feel comfortable right away and paid attention to little details that really elevated the whole night. What stood out most was how effortlessly professional he was while still being personable. You can tell he truly cares about the experience guests are having, and that kind of attitude makes a huge difference. Eric is exactly the kind of person who represents a place well, and I honestly think he deserves opportunities to take on even bigger roles. Staff like him are rare and make people want to come back.

I needed help prior to arrival and Santi in the business office was extremely helpful

My stay at Shoreside Santa Monica Hotel had spectacular service a huge shout-out to waitress Lorena, the Chef 👨‍🍳🦐🇲🇽, Oswaldo, and Jose, and amazing manager Raul, all of them paid attention to detail, gracious, super attentive, and an assisted with any accommodations we needed without hesitation. Food recommendation: breakfast- I ordered steak (well done is still super juicy & full of flavor) and eggs with side of potatoes and I ordered this throughout my entire stay, it’s spectacular. Also try the green juice delicious! Coffee is 💯. Room #412 was awesome very clean, bed extremely comfortable firm & plushy at the same time, the best part of the room definitely has to be in the views and the shower will be the best shower of your life! (Endless Hot Water great water pressure) the see-through glass does have a privacy screen button✅. Front desk staff are friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is very relaxing, calm, quiet a perfect place for family/kids to have fun and be safe at the same time, the pool is heated & perfectly located in the center of the hotel. The bikes were comfy, easy to use (a lock is included) overall a fun experience riding alongside Santa Monica Beach. Valet parking has spectacular service, a bit on the pricey side, but very convenient all staff were pleasant & efficient. Thank you for all that you do, Raul, Lorena, Jose and Oswaldo, You all truly make a difference with our stay. 🫶🏻 Great people like them truly make our experience joyful, now we plan to return with our kids because of their vibrant, upbeat hospitality!

5 minutes walk to the beach...what more can you ask for! From LAX, you can easily catch route 3 to Santa Monica, a 40 minute bus ride ($2 ticket), and then you're there! Afterwards you can head north from the beach to the Pier or south to Venice Beach. Even if you're going to downtown LA, a short 10 minutes walk to the metro station and you can catch the train there, no transfer needed to Walt Disney Symphony, Broad Museum, Little Tokyo, Grand Central Market, Bradbury Building, etc. This hotel is over 20 years old, formerly known as Le Merigot, but completely revamped and rebranded as Sandbourne... very contemporary design. The lobby is very spacious, and so is our room. Our favorite is the breakfast...the menu is small but really good quality food. Will totally recommend this hotel if your budget allows.
