Loved my stay at the regent. Felt like a seamless resort stay. I enjoyed the location, staff, room, and restaurant. The house car was a nice touch!
One thing I wish was in the room: snacks! Either complimentary or for purchase!
My stay was fantastic from the moment I stepped foot on the property, only good things to say about this hotel. Shoutout to Christian who greeted us and checked in with how our stay is.
The spa was also AMAZING! Very clean, modern and has every amenity you need....

Wife and I recently toured Southern California for our Anniversary. The entire trip was wonderful and we stayed at beautiful extravagant hotels the entire time. But the highlight came when spent the last few days of our trip in Malibu. We had planned to only have lunch at this hotel to enjoy the awesome ocean view as seen from internet images. But after seeing the hotel, and the location (right on the beach with all rooms having an ocean view). We changed our plans, cancelled our prior...

Absolutely loved my stay! The room was clean, the staff were lovely and very helpful. I was surprised to find out the building has a very interesting history. I was grateful for the bikes, beach towels, chairs and umbrella that were available for use at the beach. I especially loved the ocean view from every area of my room - even the shower! I would definitely look to stay there again on my next trip to Venice.

Beautiful hotel. We are a family of 4 and stayed for only one night, but enjoyed ourselves so much. The location is incredible. The rooms and decor and staff are impeccable. The pool is small but enough, you just have to hit it at the right time with the sun overhead as it does get shady, which in the warmer months would be welcomed but it was October and a bit cooler. The beach is very close. Borrow bikes and go for a cruise. 10/10.

We stayed here for a quick weekend getaway and it was the perfect choice for our family of three. Very comfy room, lovely staff, late access to the pool and awesome coffee bar open early. The location is fantastic - the beach is just 2 min right outside your door and there are tons of great restaurants all around. It felt like a nice little oasis just outside of the craziness by the pier but super walkable. Glad we chose the viceroy!
