Best for

Regent Santa Monica Beach puts the coast at the center of a Los Angeles stay, with the pier and beachfront paths nearby.

What makes it special

Eligible riders can use the hotel's electric bicycles to explore Santa Monica, choosing coastal stops at their own pace rather than driving.

Room to consider

Request a private patio with a firepit if outdoor evenings matter more than ocean views, giving you seating outside your room.

Insider tip

Ask about Beach Butler arrangements before heading onto the sand, confirming availability and what your resort fee covers for everyone in your party.

Regent Santa Monica Beach

Regent Santa Monica Beach is a luxury beachfront hotel at 1700 Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica, beside the Pacific Ocean and a short walk from Santa Monica Pier. The property brings Regent back to the Americas with a polished Southern California resort feel. It has large rooms, a pool deck, Guerlain wellness and dining led by Chef Michael Mina.

The active public identity is Regent Santa Monica Beach, even though some systems may shorten the name to Regent Santa Monica. This is a Los Angeles beach hotel for travelers who want ocean air, Santa Monica access and serious hotel facilities. It avoids the inland feel of Beverly Hills, West Hollywood or Downtown LA.

The location is direct and easy to understand. The hotel sits on Ocean Avenue, close to Santa Monica Beach, Original Muscle Beach, Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica Place and Third Street Promenade. The Downtown Santa Monica light rail station is also within walking distance.

Los Angeles International Airport is close by distance, but LA traffic decides the real transfer time. In good conditions, the drive can be simple. At peak times, guests should allow more margin, especially before flights or dinner reservations across town.

The hotel works best for travelers whose trip is centered on the coast, the Westside, Malibu, Venice, Pacific Palisades or Santa Monica itself. It is less efficient for guests spending most of their time in Hollywood, Pasadena, the Valley or Downtown LA.

Rooms and suites are unusually spacious for Santa Monica, with base rooms reported from about 720 square feet. The design leans into soft coastal colors, polished bathrooms, contemporary furniture and a calmer Regent mood than the lively beach setting outside.

Ocean-facing rooms and suites are the most compelling choices. Santa Monica is about light, marine air and sunset, so a room that connects to the Pacific changes the stay. City or courtyard views can still work for guests who plan to be out most of the day.

Suites are the better fit for longer stays, families, special occasions and guests who want residential space. Some higher categories add larger living areas, terraces or stronger ocean views. Category choice should be based on view, outdoor space and how much time guests expect to spend in the room.

The hotel is not a small beach inn. It is a full luxury resort in an urban coastal setting. Guests should expect service layers, resort programming and more facilities than many Santa Monica hotels offer.

Orla by Michael Mina is the main dining anchor. The restaurant draws from Mediterranean ideas, with Greek and Egyptian influences shaped around California produce and a coastal setting. It gives the hotel a destination restaurant rather than a simple hotel dining room.

Orla Bar supports a more relaxed evening rhythm with drinks and a social setting. Azure Bar brings the pool and oceanfront mood into the day, while Sweet July Cafe adds a lighter casual stop connected to Ayesha Curry's lifestyle brand.

In-room dining is offered around the clock. That matters for guests arriving late, families with young children or travelers who want breakfast or dinner privately after a long LA day. Private dining and event spaces also give the hotel range beyond leisure stays.

The dining program is a major part of the identity. Guests should still eat across Santa Monica and Venice. Orla, Azure Bar, Orla Bar and Sweet July Cafe make staying on property feel like a real option rather than a fallback.

Guerlain Wellness Spa is one of the hotel's headline features. The spa spans about 10,000 square feet and focuses on treatments, beauty, recovery and a more polished wellness experience than most beach hotels in Santa Monica provide.

The pool deck looks toward the Pacific and gives the hotel a resort rhythm. It is not a tropical pool hideaway. It is an elevated coastal deck with ocean air, loungers and the energy of Santa Monica around it.

The beach is close, and the hotel promotes beach butler service when weather allows. This matters because Santa Monica beach days are public, lively and weather-dependent. The hotel's role is to make the beach easier and more comfortable.

Fitness and wellness are also part of the daily rhythm. Guests can run along the coast, train on property, book spa time and still be close to restaurants, shops and the pier. That mix is the core Santa Monica advantage.

Service aims for a high-touch Regent style with a relaxed California tone. The hotel is polished enough for luxury travelers and special occasions, but the setting keeps it from feeling too formal.

The atmosphere is beach-city luxury rather than quiet retreat. You are near the pier, the promenade, traffic, joggers, tourists and local beach life. The hotel creates a more private layer inside that setting, but it does not erase the energy outside.

This is important for fit. Guests who want a remote coastal escape should look elsewhere. Guests who want Santa Monica with stronger rooms, spa, pool, dining and service than the usual beach hotel should understand the appeal quickly.

Shutters on the Beach and Casa del Mar are the classic Santa Monica beach comparisons, with deeper local history and a more traditional coastal-hotel feeling. Regent Santa Monica Beach feels newer, larger-roomed and more wellness-and-dining driven.

Santa Monica Proper Hotel is more design-forward and better for guests who want a stylish city-neighborhood mood a few blocks inland. Regent is stronger for direct beach access, resort services, ocean views and the pool deck.

Nobu Ryokan Malibu is more intimate and private but much smaller and harder to book. Hotel Bel-Air and Beverly Hills Hotel are better for garden privacy and Beverly Hills access, while Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills is stronger for shopping, rooftop views and a more urban luxury base.

Regent Santa Monica Beach is best when the coast is central to the trip. It suits guests who want a full-service luxury hotel rather than a boutique beach stay.

Book Regent Santa Monica Beach if you want a beachfront Santa Monica base with large rooms, Pacific views, Orla by Michael Mina, Guerlain Wellness Spa, a pool deck, beach support and walkable access to the pier and promenade. It is especially good for couples, families, wellness travelers and guests who want Los Angeles with a coastal rhythm.

Think twice if most of your plans are in East LA, Downtown, Hollywood or the Valley. Also think twice if you want a tiny barefoot hotel. Regent Santa Monica Beach is polished, full-service and resort-like. For the right guest, that is exactly what makes Santa Monica easier.

Why we love this hotel

Why we love this hotel

Orla's Greek and Egyptian influences give seafood dining a distinctive Mediterranean character, offering a destination meal without leaving the Santa Monica waterfront.

Guerlain Wellness Spa tailors treatments to individual preferences, offering a personal beauty appointment as a quieter counterpoint to the busy beachfront.

Cybex strollers and Nestig cribs or toddler beds support stays with young children, reducing bulky equipment families need to bring to the coast.
