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.

We had a great time staying at Vinceroy. The staff was very nice and accommodating especially Shaunique at the front desk. I would definitely recommend using their free bike rentals and going along the beach with them. We would definitely come back and stay with Viceroy when we visit Santa Monica

Gorgeous hotel with such a unique SolCal vibe. Perfectly located in one of the best spots in Santa Monica, with views & easy access to the best areas. I’d highly recommend this hotel for its style, relaxed and sleek appeal. Beautifully comfortable and spacious rooms that match or even exceed the pictures online! The helpful staff gave me a fabulous recommendation as I wanted to see the sites with no hassle…they recommended Chuck as a driver. What a golden recommendation, I have visited LA many times and Chuck showed me great hidden areas that only a local would know. He’s friendly, knowledgeable and it was a pleasure to have him show me around LA. If you need a driver/ tour guide Chuck is the best in town!

Great hotel, very helpful staff. Their best recommendation was an amazing driver/tour operator Chuck, a Santa Monica local who arranged an amazing tour for us. I’d investigated the options to hire an Escalade myself, taking into account all the insurance waivers, fuel etc it actually worked out not much more money to have Chuck drive us for a whole day in an amazingly comfortable SUV. He was an absolute treasure, professional, helpful and a genuinely nice guy. He also does airport pick ups that drop you to the actual terminal not the transit area. 5* service all round.

We had a great stay at the viceroy this past weekend! The room was spacious and well decorated, bed was very comfortable and bathroom had great lighting for getting ready. The staff were all extremely gracious and helpful, Shaunique in particular made us feel very welcome!
