A 1915 landmark, entirely rejiggered in the best way possible – steps from *that* boardwalk, skate park and some of the world’s best people watching.

Ideally located for exploring the Santa Monica Mountains and its hiking, biking and walking trails.

Former 1940s Spanish-style firehouse (and, o’course, clock tower), complete with beamed ceilings, large fireplace and original art.

A 1915 landmark, entirely rejiggered in the best way possible – steps from *that* boardwalk, skate park and some of the world’s best people watching.

Fresh, mod décor is dotted with local art, but the real scene is just outside. Head for the beach or explore the iconic downtown.

Free parking means you're not stuck tracking down a spot.

Historic Spanish Revival stunner with architectural details intact – from moldings to ornate light fixtures.

On the beach and a short boardwalk stroll to downtown. Surf lessons or pier fishing are steps away.

Understated earth tones adorn the modern Craftsman-style rooms for a chill, casual, thoroughly Cali vibe.

Keeps things simple & sweet with renovated, comfortable rooms.

We're in awe of anywhere that's as dedicated to a delicious (and free) breakfast as we are.

Pack your bathing suit, they've got a pool.

Majorly renovated, with modern-chic style.

Nightly hosted wine hour features vinos hand-selected by the hotel’s master sommelier.

Since every room's a suite, there's space aplenty to stash your shopping swag.

Outdoor pool and hot tub. Also: ocean. (You’re a half-mile away!)

Just off the 405, which means you and your sweet, sweet (or not) rental car can take on LA.

Location, location, location: mere blocks from the beach and the pier.

Rooms rock an uber-chic neutral palette with pops of West Indies-inspired pizazz (not to mention those low whistle-worthy marina views).

Surrounded by shops and restaurants (Westfield Topanga!), making it all too easy to shop till you drop (into the comfy beds).

Across the street from Santa Monica Beach and built in 1928, The Beacon will transport you back to Old Hollywood.

Art Deco architecture. Right-across-from-the-ocean address. Are we in Santa Monica or South Beach?
