For five-star accommodations in Santa Monica, it’s tough to imagine a more picturesque spot than Hotel Casa Del Mar. Originally opened in 1926, this luxury hotel underwent a $50-million renovation in 1999, restoring it to its former glory.

You’ll feel the magic the moment you step through Hotel Casa Del Mar’s front doors and into its sprawling, fully restored lobby. Once you’re settled in to your pristine yet incredibly comfy room, take in the breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean through floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Unwind at the Sea Wellness Spa, go for a run along the beach, or soak up the sun poolside at Club Casa Del Mar.

Enjoy local seafood at Catch, Hotel Casa Del Mar’s critically acclaimed restaurant. Located just down the beach from the Santa Monica Pier, seafood doesn’t get any fresher than it does at Catch. Fancy a cocktail? The Lobby Lounge does cocktails well, offering small plates for nibbling while enjoying the warm atmosphere and incredible ocean view.
