There is a new hotel in Santa Monica that can best be described as an urban oasis. Unlike many hotels in busy Santa Monica, the newly renovated boutique Hotel Oceana is calm, quiet, and classic.
Originally built in the 1950s, the property feels like a unique residential complex more than a commercial hotel The rooms are expansive, which is rare for Santa Monica, and the vibe is more cozy and intimate than stuffy and impersonal.
The chic beach-house style hotel is perfectly positioned on the quiet end of Ocean Avenue, overlooking the Pacific Ocean and famous Santa Monica Pier. It’s prime location is super walkable to downtown, yet serene.
The hotel is built around a beautiful courtyard with a pool, cozy outdoor sitting areas with fireplaces, James Perse teak furniture and guest-only restaurant.
Oceana’s 70 guestrooms are beautiful, designed with custom furnishings, including Nepalese rugs, lush Loro Piana bedding, original artwork and Bottega Veneta bathroom amenities. Some have ocean views, others, large balconies.
Oceana also has its own beautifully designed restaurant that exclusively welcomes hotel guests. The Dining Room, helmed by Chef Raphael Lunetta offers breakfast, lunch and dinner with a menu of New American dishes based around local ingredients bought from the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market. Other hotel perks include a full-service spa, fitness studio, beach yoga, house car and bicycles.
