Palihouse Santa Monica - A Mediterranean Revival landmark with fully equipped residences and seasonal farm-to-table dining

Operating since 1927, this 4-star Santa Monica hotel occupies a Moorish-influenced Mediterranean Revival building with historic landmark status. The 38-room property features classic rooms, studio residences, and one and two-bedroom suites spanning up to 1120 square feet. Most accommodations include fully equipped kitchens, separate vanity rooms, and walk-in closets with European-style apartment layouts. Each room features custom furnishings by Avi Brosh, bespoke Abnormals Anonymous wallpaper, and Diptyque bath amenities. The massive lobby showcases a marble fireplace, leather and velvet sofas, and high wood-beamed ceilings. The restaurant sources ingredients from Santa Monica Farmers Market, serving seasonal dishes from 8 AM to 3 PM daily. Located a few minutes' walk from Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica Pier, and the Farmers Market, Palihouse sits within 1 mile of Santa Monica State Beach and Downtown Santa Monica.

Pros

Pet-friendly accommodations with dedicated amenities program

Seasonal menu using produce from Santa Monica Farmers Market

Front courtyard features bocce courts and bicycles

Cons

Restaurant service ends at 3 PM daily

“I find the Moorish-influenced Mediterranean Revival architecture gives this boutique hotel a unique sense of place, a quiet residential corner near Santa Monica's best attractions. The location is superb, matched inside by custom-designed furnishings and luxurious touches like Diptyque bath supplies, however the fact that it doesn't have a pool may be a consideration. I also appreciate the all-day dining that uses local produce.”
