The hotel’s location is on a quiet residential area, just few blocks from the Third St. Promenade, and the hotel’s lobby, café and garden are open to hotel’s guests only. The style, the elegance and the welcoming and friendly staff will make you feel like a resident, not a tourist. The Palihouse Santa Monica is a great place to stay if you are looking for style, comfort, hospitality, and at the same time you want to be closer to Hollywood and Burbank.

I stayed at PaliHouse Santa Monica after a very stressful Airbnb situation left me in urgent need of a last-minute place for myself, my elderly parent, and my special-needs dog. I was overwhelmed and on the verge of a breakdown when I called, and from the very first interaction, the staff went above and beyond. Gavin was the first person I spoke to, and he was amazing—kind, compassionate, and immediately helpful. He welcomed us so warmly when we arrived, and made a tough weekend feel safe and manageable. Everyone else—from valet to front desk to café and housekeeping—was equally friendly and thoughtful. The hotel itself is beautiful and peaceful, but what really made the difference was the people. I felt cared for and comfortable the entire time. I’ve already booked again for a wedding later this year and have recommended it to everyone attending. Huge thanks to Gavin and the whole team!

The best kept secret in Los Angeles. Dine at the front desk was amazing. Gorgeous fireplace in the lobby with hardly anyone around.

The vibe is original and compares to none. Every decor detail is scrumptious. If your looking for an experience and not just a sterile luxury hotel room than this is for you. My senses go on overdrive absorbing every micro adornment. Nothing is ignored. Each hotel we have visited does not disappoint. All have their own personality. Seriously a genius in design.

A very pleasant, quiet retreat so close to the ocean in an historic Santa Monica hotel. The staff is very reactive and very pleasant. Dyptique products in the bathroom, always a treat. I loved sipping coffee in the morning on the back patio. Character and details were kept in the renovation. Bravo. Negative? A little peel off in the floor in the bathroom, a stain on the curtain. But really not much as the feeling is so pleasant, who wants to leave?!! Thank you.
