The hotel

At night, with soft blue lights illuminating its clean lines and imposing lattice canopy, the Shore Hotel sets the stage for a memorable Santa Monica stay. This sleek boutique hotel is committed to an eco-conscious approach to luxurious accommodation. So, while the rooms are minimally elegant, they incorporate sustainably sourced materials wherever possible. The private pool is solar heated, and the friendly, casual Blue Plate Taco restaurant isn’t just the kind of place locals seek out, but uses locally farmed ingredients to make its ceviches, tacos and other modern Mex cuisine. And as downtown Santa Monica is within walking distance, you can do your bit for the environment while getting to know this stylish LA neighbourhood.

17 of us stayed at The Shore in Santa Monica for three nights before jumping on a cruise out of LAX. I'm a travel advisor, and worked with the Concierge, Adriano, for months planning our stay. He helped with transfers, bike rentals, dinner reservations, and entertainment for the kids. After walking up and down the main way in Santa Monica, I can't think of another hotel that would've been better for us as far as location and accommodations. The boardwalk is across the street, with a restaurant in the hotel, and one on each side. The heated pool was popular with the kids. Love, love, love the bike rentals! Read less

Cannot recommend this hotel enough, great location and very clean hotel. Hotel staff were friendly and a big shout out to the concierge Adriano - our trip was for our one year wedding anniversary and he made it a trip to remember. Adriano provided us with a list of his top recommendations of restaurants in the area and also booked them for us. He booked us a great Hollywood tour which covers all the sights that you would like to look at in LA and also provided us with complimentary bikes to use for a bike ride from Santa Monica to Venice Beach. Nothing was too much trouble and he was happy to help with whatever we asked. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone heading to Santa Monica. Read less

He helped me get a fridge with a freezer so I could store my breastmilk on my first trip away from my newborn. He was so great! He even gave me souvenirs for my kiddos, and a welcome glass of champagne. Thanks for… Read more
