Hotel Shangri-La - An Art Deco ocean liner-inspired hotel with rooftop bar, outdoor pool, and Pacific Ocean views
Built to resemble a white ocean liner, the seven-story Hotel Shangri-La features upper-story balconies with sweeping sea views just three blocks from Santa Monica Pier. This Santa Monica hotel houses 70 rooms equipped with 24-hour room service, premium bedding, laptop-compatible safes, and air conditioning, while marble bathrooms showcase glass-enclosed rain showers, Frette robes, and L'Occitane toiletries. The chic outdoor heated pool area, designed to evoke a cruise ship atmosphere, includes teak decks, stylish black-and-white striped loungers, cabanas, and a whirlpool tub. Guests can dine at The Dining Room restaurant, which serves American cuisine highlighting local produce from the Santa Monica Farmer's Market, or visit the rooftop ONYX bar offering signature menu items from a raw bar and gourmet flatbreads. Located just two blocks from the pedestrian-only Third Street Promenade with its shops, movie theater, and restaurants, Shangri-La sits five minutes by car from Santa Monica Place shopping center and approximately 30 minutes by taxi northwest of LAX Airport.

“This boutique hotel holds a prime advantage with its unbeatable location, a short walk from the pier and offering direct access to Santa Monica's vibrant beach scene. I especially appreciate the Art Deco design, lending a unique historical charm not often found in the area, and the rooftop bar promises spectacular ocean views. Overall, it's a solid choice for travelers wanting a stylish base to explore the best of Santa Monica.”
