Hotel Casa del Mar, the grandest of the opulent Santa Monica, California beach clubs, dates back to the city's booming Gold Coast years and is one of the most luxurious hotels on the Pacific coast. Built in 1926, the hotel with its 129 elegant guest rooms and suites - including three magnificent two-story penthouses - features incomparable panoramas of the ocean, from Malibu to Palos Verdes. Luxurious guest rooms evoke the mood and style of the Italian and French Rivieras and feature Venetian-designed furnishings. The beach has never been quite so elegant as it is at Hotel Casa Del Mar.

The staff at the hotel is incredible!! Front desk, managers, valet housekeeping. They all go above and beyond! Special shoutout to Dalacely, who took really good care of us, Brian, Zack and the front desk staff, just to name a few. Food is also great and they have live music most nights of the week in the lobby bar. Great spot to unwind and have a drink.

Sure, it's expensive, but it's well worth the indulgence. Our room had a great ocean view, and the room service was excellent. You also have many options for walking, biking, or rollerblading along the beach, and the restaurant serves good food.

Staying at Casa Del Mar was a dream come true! The location is unbeatable—right on the beach in Santa Monica, offering breathtaking ocean views and immediate access to the sand. We loved exploring the area on bikes, cruising along the beachfront paths—it’s such a wonderful way to soak in the sunshine and coastal vibe. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made every moment special. From check-in to dining recommendations, the team went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcomed and cared for. The only minor glitch was with the high-tech lighting system in the room, which was a little tricky to figure out at first. However, it was a small hiccup in an otherwise flawless stay. I can’t wait to return to Casa Del Mar for another luxurious getaway. It’s the perfect blend of comfort, elegance, and beachside fun. Highly recommend!

From the greeting at the door to the turndown service, this hotel treats you like a real VIP. We enjoyed the room service dining, pool and hot tub overlooking the beach and a deep soaking tub. Car service provided in the local area, good vehicles. Great entertainment programming on the tv, and interesting reading in Waves Magazine.

The moment the Door man opens your vehicle door you enter a dream world! It doesn't end until you leave!!! I will always hold Casa Del Mar as the Diamond standard among hotel places and experiences! (New York and London, I hope you are listening!)

I thought the hotel was spectacular. I have stayed in many 4- and 5-star hotels around the world, but never thought I would find such a beautiful hotel in Santa Monica.

I was fortunate enough to stay at Casa Del Mar my last two business trips. My room was very comfortable and well-appointed. The fluffy white bed and pillows – divine! The entire staff I encountered were helpful and courteous – from maids to wait staff in the lobby bar and restaurant. Everyone made me feel welcome – rockstar treatment though I'm far from that status. A peaceful haven after a busy day of work.
