Regent Santa Monica Beach by IHG

10/10 Excellent

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....

J from concierge helped us get a rental vehicle for the last 2 days of our stay, and helped arrange for the rental car to be dropped off and picked up from the hotel - he made it really easy for us! Nice large pool, always had seating available. Complimentary coffee in the rooms and lobby in the mornings was also a huge benefit. Only drawback was the location, I think I spent a lot of time in West Hollywood,...

Love, love, love this hotel. The Proper Hotel in Santa Monica exceeded all expectations! From the moment we stepped through the doors, I was greeted with warmth and elegance.
