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.

Fantastic hotel location to the beach is 3 minute walk. Staff and experience is excellent and the complimentary cycle rental was great for cycling along the beach frint

We had a wonderful stay at the Viceroy. The hotel has a sleek, modern design that makes a great first impression, and the location is hard to beat—just steps from the beach and Santa Monica Pier. Our room was clean, spacious, and the beds were comfortable. But what really stood out was the team. John, B.J., and Edwin were all incredibly helpful and made us feel well taken care of throughout our visit. Would happily stay here again.

The location is 10/10 and we booked an ocean view which was worth the extra cost. No issues with the service however the room amenities let the booking down in my opinion. In particular, the bed was extremely uncomfortable, the pillows were thin and unsupportive, and water wasn’t refilled again from check in. There was no coffee machine or kettle available without special request.
