Our thoughts

The Viceroy Santa Monica is a gorgeous seaside boutique hotel, with a decor and service style that is truly magnificent. The rooms are very spacious and are decked out to look fresh and inviting. As it is situated next to a busy boutique strip, this hotel offers you both - the access to a bustling city life and a tranquil escape in this lush & private ocean abode. If you are a light sleeper book higher rooms to avoid night time noise from the pool terrace. Perfect for families and couples looking for some downtime, while being close to the city.
