The 15 Best Luxury Hotels in California - AFAR
"A recently refreshed, all-suite ocean-adjacent hotel in a quieter Santa Monica neighborhood across from a coastal park; suites are apartment-style with separate living rooms, luxe linens, and many with ocean views or balconies. The property centers around a distinctive heart-shaped pool and a seafood-forward restaurant that highlights chilled prawns, pan-roasted local fish, and composed salads—paired with creative cocktails—offering a calmer alternative to the busy pier area while still providing easy beach access." - Kathryn Romeyn
