Book the Sandbourne Santa Monica with VIP Benefits

You can find the Sandbourne Santa Monica steps away from golden beaches and the ocean breeze. It captures the relaxed elegance of California's famous coast. This boutique hotel has a stylish, open-plan design and an inviting, warm vibe. It is the ideal place to relax and unwind, whether you are starting the day on the beach or exploring the local scene.

Overview

Santa Monica has a lot of hotels. Since the 1920s, when Charles Looff built his famous 'pleasure park,' this sunny coastal city has drawn many travelers. Hotels began to pop up, making it even more popular. A century later, the town had lost some of its sparkle.

Sandbourne Santa Monica, Autograph Collection is back on the waterfront! After months of renovations, it has a new name. It was previously known as Le Merigot Santa Monica. This new hotel has brought a fresh and creative feel to this luxury strip. Gulla Jónsdóttir is the designer of the hotel.

Location

Santa Monica is a place where the most desirable locations are already taken. This is what happens when newcomers take over older structures and transform them. Sandbourne Santa Monica is walking distance to Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach, and Third Street Promenade. Culver City and Venice are also 15 minutes away by car.

Service & Facilities

Although it is a lifestyle hotel, Marriott is the brand behind the property, and the service they provide is excellent. The staff is always helpful and will ask about any needs you may have without being too intrusive. It's easy to get behind the "feel each moment" mantra that is permeating throughout this property. This is due to the many outdoor spaces, the big sunny lobby, the fun, curved furniture, plus the lots of plants.

You can also enjoy a nice view of the ocean from the pool. The pool offers a good view of the ocean, and drink service is prompt. Bicycle and e-bike rental is also free. The "no resort fees" policy has made all of these services available to guests at no cost. Sandbourne is also the only hotel on Ocean Avenue that offers this service.

In addition, you can exercise in the indoor/outdoor fitness center. The hotel is also pet-friendly.

Rooms

The guest rooms are large and sleek. Patterned carpets complement the wooden furniture. The lighting is also inviting and warm. Large glass patio doors let light flood in. The hotel has 175 total rooms, yet you will feel as if you are in a small boutique with the calm and quiet that permeates throughout.

Moreover, ocean view rooms offer a clear view of Santa Monica Pier. When the sun sets, you will be happy you paid a little more for this view. Each room also has an incense cone with a matchbox on the nightstand, which is meant to be lit just before going to bed. Many rooms feature private balconies.

Dining

There are three other places on the property to get drinks and food, in addition to in-room service. These include the Lobby Bar, which is open every day at 3 pm for light snacks and beverages, Sunset Lounge, located at the swimming pool, and Marelle.

Marelle's menu is designed by Raphael Lunetta, a Santa Monica native with over 35 years of experience. He takes advantage of the seasonal produce available at the farmers' markets. This keeps the food fresh and seasonally appropriate without having to sacrifice classic dishes. Hamachi Crudo with farmers' market fruit is a good option to begin with. Pair it with crab cakes set over a bed of green goddess aioli, topped with corn.

The charred onion French dip with scallions and the housemade chips pair well with cocktails. The drinks are also strong, sweet, and wild. You may also be able to enjoy the vegetarian dish Lemon Mushroom Rigatoni, which comes with shaved Parmesan, fresh arugula, and a white wine sauce. This is a half-pasta, half-salad dinner, which will fill you up but still be light enough to enjoy poolside.

For the breakfast menu, you can enjoy meals such as brioche-french toast as well as a sourdough breakfast sandwich with eggs, bacon, or ham.

Activities & Areas

Ocean Avenue runs parallel to Santa Monica Beach and is packed with bars, restaurants, and other beachgoers. This hotel is located just down from Ocean Avenue's busiest part, which is the perfect compromise for avoiding nighttime noise.

Moreover, you can walk to Third Street Promenade, an afternoon matcha class, and the Third Street Promenade in just 20 minutes. Driving the other way leads you to cool spots in Venice. Check out Abbot Kinney Boulevard, where you'll find Salt and Straw Ice Cream, a favorite from the West Coast. And you'll find some classic LA shopping.

The Sandbourne's location is also a significant draw. It's perfect for anyone wanting a beach vacation and a city escape.
