Casa Del Mar

I haven't been to LA in a while, and now I had to work in Beverly Hills, but I wanted the ocean, so I stayed at the Casa del Mar in Santa Monica, and I loved every minute I spent there, and every detail: The lush design, the lovely room (very quiet suite on the 7th floor; thanks for the sweet upgrade!), the gorgeous beach (endless!), the awesome view (to the beach, the palm trees, the pier, the Pacific...), the sunshine (yeah, well, that's Southern California for you, I know), the friendly, efficient and super-helpful staff, the extras (the house car from 4 to 11 p.m.), the delicious breakfast (which I had in my room every day of the 5 days I stayed, because I did not want to miss the view), the fact that guests of the Casa can also lunch and dine at the Shutters on the Beach next door. I loved the Nespresso coffee maker and the generous supply of bottled water without any extra charge in my room. I loved the huge bathroom and the cleanliness. I also loved the location: downtown Santa Monica and Pier are walkable, Venice Beach is within reach of the house car, and for every distance you might want to uber to, there are ubers available (I never waited more than 1 minute). Drive over from and back to LAX airport was about 30 minutes. From the very first moment on I felt at home, and I enjoyed every moment I stayed at Casa del Mar. I will definitely be back!

This Hotel Offers a Luxurious, beachfront stay with stunning ocean views and elegant coastal decor. Rooms and all the areas were very clean. Brian was very welcoming and attentive. The room feel upscale and comfortable. It's pricy but ideal for a special, scenic gateway right on the sand.

The location is fabulous but the service and the amenities are fantastic too. We loved how close you are to the bike and walking paths perfect for exploring Santa Monica and Venice. We loved our room the spa and gym and how relaxing the vibe is. Would return again
