Santa Monica Beach
Modular-luxe coastal — calm, clean, approachably modern. Soft neutrals, rounded furniture edges, marble accents, and faux olive trees. It reads beach house, not ballroom. Families, couples, and conference-goers all coexist comfortably.
The resort fee ($90/night) covers beach butler for two, Bluejay e-bike access, a one-time $50 Guerlain spa credit, and pet fees — factor this in when comparing total cost
Why It Matters
First and only Regent in the Americas; MICHELIN Key winner in its debut year; home to Guerlain's sole West Coast spa; Orla by James Beard Award-winning Chef Michael Mina is genuinely one of the best hotel restaurants in LA; rooms start at 720 sq ft even at the base level — generously sized by any city standard.
The only Regent hotel in the United States — and the brand's Americas flagship — sits right on Ocean Avenue with the Pacific directly across the street and the Santa Monica Pier two blocks north. Opened in 2024 on the bones of the former Loews Santa Monica Beach, the renovation is a success: 167 rooms starting at a generous 720 sq ft, Orla by Michael Mina as the anchor restaurant, and Guerlain's first West Coast spa filling 10,000 square feet on the fourth floor. It earns its accolades without trying too hard — the vibe is cheery, bright, and unpretentious for a property at this price point.
