Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel, hotel in Santa Monica, United States
The Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel is a hotel building in Santa Monica located on Ocean Avenue, just a short walk from the beach and Santa Monica Pier. It has 347 recently updated rooms and suites with modern furnishings, light wood furniture, white bedding, and balconies that offer ocean views from many units.
The hotel was founded in 1989 and has grown into a well-known gathering place in Santa Monica. In 2016, it underwent a major renovation that updated the building with new furnishings and a contemporary design featuring light blue and gray tones.
The hotel belongs to the Loews chain and has been a gathering place for filmmakers attending the annual American Film Market since 1989. Its modern design with light blue and gray tones reflects a relaxed beach environment and creates a space where business travelers and families feel equally welcome.
The hotel offers complimentary WiFi, though connections can be slow in public spaces and may take extra time to load pages. Plan time for activities since the nearby Santa Monica Pier, shops, and restaurants are all within walking distance, but driving to Hollywood or LAX typically takes 15 to 20 minutes, which can be longer depending on traffic.
A bronze statue of a businessman carrying a surfboard and briefcase stands at the hotel entrance, symbolizing the blend of work and leisure. About one-third of the rooms feature private fire pits on the balconies, an unexpected feature that creates a quiet outdoor space for guests.
