"A residential-feeling, suite-only hotel with 70 apartment-style accommodations—most with ocean views—surrounding a distinctive heart-shaped pool and appointed with Loro Piana bedding and spacious living areas. The property balances a peaceful Palisades Park–adjacent location with refined seafood-forward dining at Sandpiper, thoughtful design details, and two-bedroom suites featuring kitchens and balconies for a longer-stay, home-away-from-home experience near Santa Monica’s attractions." - Chris Dong

"A suite-only, residential-feeling property in the posh Wilshire Montana neighborhood across from Palisades Park, reborn in 2019 after a multimillion-dollar transformation. The 70 apartment-style suites typically offer separate living rooms, Loro Piana bedding, large bathrooms, walk-in closets, and many ocean views surrounding a heart-shaped pool. The on-site Sandpiper restaurant is seafood-forward, with dishes like chilled prawns with summer melons and pan-roasted sheepshead with littleneck clams, while cocktails include signature mixes such as the Stan Laurel—Empress gin, Cointreau, lavender syrup, and lemon." - Kathryn Romeyn
"Where to Stay: Oceana Hotel, voted one of the best hotels in Los Angeles by T+L readers, is a suites-only boutique property. Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows is set on five acres overlooking the Pacific (and it’s home to the fabulous Soko Sushi, a personal favorite)." - Travel + Leisure Editors
