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 would not recommend staying at the Santa Monica Viceroy. Overall, the staff here is not helpful and seemingly has quite the attitude as if you are fortunate to stay there. The additional fees are laughable when you realize that they do nothing for you so as... no pool service whatsoever... the coffee bar and restaurant... order yourself and wait. The pool area was littered with pizza boxes and food not picked up. It was disgusting. The area was also disappointing as it was not safe after 9 pm. I will not stay here again.

BJ and Hiroshi were so helpful, friendly, and very nice. Also, the lady at the front desk when we checked in was so lovely and made us feel welcome.This is our second time coming here and we will definitely come back next time when we are here!

We loved our stay at Viceroy! From the location, to the beautiful decor in the common areas as well as the rooms, and the comfort, to the atmosphere and service; everything was amazing. The food and drinks were delicious. The hotel was always clean and the room cleaning service left our room in a better condition than when we left for the day. It was quiet at night and we were able to sleep well. Thank you for a fabulous stay!
