Beautiful Hotel with Fabulous Friendly Staff

We were evacuated from our home due to the Pacific Palisades fire, and stayed at the Sandbourne for ten days. The hotel is beautifully appointed with many comfotable seating areas throughout the hotel and on the beautiful outdoor patios. The staff could not be nicer.

We were evacuated from our home due to the Pacific Palisades fire, and stayed at the Sandbourne for ten days. The hotel is beautifully appointed with many comfotable seating areas throughout the hotel and on the beautiful outdoor patios. The staff could not be nicer. A special thank you to Alex, Lavit, Christel and Stuart, who did all they could every day to make our stay as enjoyable as possible considering the circumstances. They even provided treats and dog food to our little dog. The hotel is located close to the beach and walking distance to many wonderful restaurants. If your visiting Santa Monica, try it -- you won't be disappointed.

A great experience in a time of crisis

We were subject to a mandatory evacuation order during the recent Los Angeles fires. A Marriott reservations agent got us a room at the Sandbourne.

We were subject to a mandatory evacuation order during the recent Los Angeles fires. A Marriott reservations agent got us a room at the Sandbourne. We were bowled over by how caring and responsive everyone who worked there was during that crisis. Everyone from the valets to the maids to the front desk to the restaurant staff went out of their way to make us comfortable. The hotel even waived its usual dog fee!
The room itself was very comfortable. Good beds. Good blackout drapes. Great walk-in shower.
The in-room dining menu is pretty limited. But the burgers were delicious.
The breakfast menu in the restaurant offers a nice variety of options. My eggs and bacon were tasty.
All in all, it was a very good experience during a time of crisis. We are extremely grateful.

We had an incredibly positive experience with Sandbourne Hotel Santa Monica. The staff went above and beyond to support us during a stressful time when we thought we might have to evacuate our home in the middle of the night due to the Palisades fire. They were empathetic, understanding, and flexible with our situation.
Not only did they let us book a room at short notice, but they also refunded us when it turned out we didn’t have to evacuate after all. This level of compassion and accommodation is rare and deeply appreciated.
Highly recommend this hotel for their exceptional customer service and care for their guests!

Amazing hotel with exceptional service!
Jan 9, 2025Nicole WDallas, Texas
I had an amazing stay at the Sandbourne Autograph Collection. Highly recommend, with 10 out of 10 service!
Shout out to the fantastic valet team- Jorge, Manny +Emerson for taking such great care of me and my pup, Jackson! If you want a great experience and with approximation to the pier, I would choose the Sandborne.
Why is this an autograph hotel.
Jan 1, 2025Marcig3Dix Hills, New York
Not sure why this is an autograph hotel. Let me preface by saying the last 2 times we stayed in Santa Monica we stayed at the Proper. The positive is that the location was great. Lots of outdoor space to just hang out. Plenty of heaters (weather was chilly).
Negatives. Shower took 30 minutes to get hot and was tiny. We literally had to shower…

Negatives. Shower took 30 minutes to get hot and was tiny. We literally had to shower sideways and there was no where in the shower to put my own toiletries.
