Welcome to an original in the heart of Santa Monica, where the ease of the coast brings California to life. For over twenty years, our beach-side hideaway has been a home-away-from-home, embodying the relaxed attitude of coastal living. With an intimate collection of guestrooms and suites, Sugar Palm’s coastal fare and inspired cocktails, poolside cabanas, and the sound of waves crashing in the distance, your own California story is ready to unfold. Whether your view is of the ocean or the city, the outlook is clear: Viceroy Santa Monica offers the most luxurious way to relax on the coast. Our guestrooms and suites are sun-washed sanctuaries filled with natural textures, ocean blues and radiant yellows. Just like the beach scene beyond your door, they offer energy and relaxation in equal balance. And with soothing design elements, from art specifically created for the hotel to sea glass-inspired fixtures, you’ll feel each moment is a true escape.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to BJ for going above and beyond to help me find my Cartier ring and diamond ring after I accidentally left them by the pool. I was incredibly worried, and your kindness, patience, and willingness to help meant more than I can express. Because of your dedication and outstanding customer service, I was reunited with two very special pieces of jewelry. Thank you for taking the time to help and for truly caring. Your honesty and exceptional service made a stressful situation so much easier, and I am deeply grateful. Thank you again, BJ—you are truly appreciated!

It’s my first time back to this hotel in 10 years. It looks different but the hospitality is still on point. BJ and Armando with the valet team were super helpful and Edwin at the front desk was very accommodating after we had booked the wrong room. Room was cozy, clean and food and drink were delicious and reasonably priced for the area. Favorite perk are still the bikes.

Our room was fantastic. Lovely view, clean beautiful rooms, staff was friendly helpful. We were sad to leave but will definitely stay again soon(our son just moved around the corner) Location is wonderful and best of all while sleeping I can have the sliding doors open and can hear the waves crashing on the sand!( middle of the night) Thank you to staff for amazing stay! We will definitely be back soon!!!

Tyler from Valet was absolutely the kindest gentleman we met upon arriving. So helpful with information and immediately made us feel at home. Rooms are clean, the soaps and lotions are such good quality. All in all we will be back!
