42sqm Superior Rooms may not enjoy the same ocean views as their neighbours, but these are still superb options and come with all other amenities, comforts and design touches; plus those luxe bathrooms too.

Similar in size to the Superior Room category though situated on the hotel’s upper floors, so improved views then come as part of the Deluxe Room package.

46sqm of notably more luxurious offerings can be found in the Studio King Room, including a Jacuzzi and large poolside patio.

Due to their location in the main building, this room option – otherwise identical to the Superior Room – benefits from side beach and sea views, most of which also enjoy a furnished balcony.

The Ocean View Room faces directly out to sea, and enjoys privileged coastal panoramas as a result; similar in size to the Superior and Deluxe categories.

With sliding doors that open onto a private terrace and instant beach access, the Oceanfront King Room really stands out.

At 93sqm the Santa Monica Suite is a real step-up from for its guestroom equivalents, and within that extra space there’s easily room for a separate lounge area, Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom and a furnished balcony too.

Slightly smaller than the Santa Monica Suite at 800sq ft, though the promise of sea views each morning – to be enjoyed from your balcony – more than make up for this. That said, you can still find a powder room, lounge area and luxe bathroom in the Ocean View Suite.

A simply stunning 116sqm Santa Monica hotel room, the Oceanfront Suite has it all: instant beach access, a huge floorplan and three balconies, to name just three of its many unique features.
