Hotel Oceana -- Santa Monica
849 Ocean Avenue, Los Angeles Area, USA
Santa Monica
70 Rooms
Contemporary Classic & Quiet
It was only a matter of time before the adorable Fifties-vintage Oceana became a hot commodity again. With its mid-century modernist good looks, and its setting on Ocean Avenue, looking out over Santa Monica State Beach, the hotel was, as the saying goes, born on third base. Now, after a 30-million-dollar makeover, it’s home: to its considerable personality it adds a healthy dose of contemporary style, and upgrades its comforts until they’re squarely in the luxury category.
All 70 of Oceana’s suites come with high-end touches like Frette linens, Loro Piana bedding, and Bottega Veneta bath products. Every suite is subtly different in layout — some come with picture-window views of the Pacific, others with balconies, pull-out sofas, or kitchens. Handmade Nepalese rugs mingle with works by local artists, and the already-luxe experience is elevated by service that’s informal but first-rate.
Something similar could be said of the Dining Room restaurant, where chef Raphael Lunetta serves locally sourced California coastal cuisine in a colorful indoor-outdoor space. And while it’s an apartment-style hotel rather than a resort, Oceana’s got more than its fair share of diversions, from the courtyard pool to a session with a personal trainer or a yoga class on the beach.
How to get there:
Oceana Hotel is a 20-minute drive from Los Angeles International Airport.

The overall hotel was fantastic! Staff was great. Had some kinks. No hot water one night and wowed fruit flys in the room especially in the bathroom.

Great location and staff. Leonard at the Valet service did a wonderful job! The food at the restaurant was delicious. The park out front with views on the beach is also a great asset.

Loved the interior pool area and the fact that my room looked out to the pool . Spacious room with large seating area, separate bedroom. Great location. To walk the beach or shop in the neighborhood. Would definitely stay again!
