Hilton Santa Monica Hotel & Suites

"Staying at the Hilton Santa Monica Hotel & Suites was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The hotel combines upscale comfort with a modern, beach-inspired design that perfectly fits the Santa Monica vibe. Just a short walk from the Santa Monica Pier, Third Street Promenade, and the beach, the location is ideal for both leisure and business travelers. The rooms are spacious, beautifully furnished, and extremely clean. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and the layout of the suites makes them feel more like a private apartment than a hotel room. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like USB charging ports, a spacious work desk, and sleek bathrooms with quality amenities. The hotel facilities are top-tier — from the heated outdoor pool, modern fitness center, to the stylish on-site restaurant and lounge offering delicious food and drinks. The lobby is elegant yet relaxed, and it’s a great space to work, socialize, or just unwind. What truly stood out was the hospitality. The staff was warm, professional, and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. From check-in to check-out, the service was smooth, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. Whether you're in town for a relaxing getaway, a romantic trip, or a business stay, Hilton Santa Monica delivers a premium experience in one of the most iconic spots on the California coast. Highly recommended!"

"I want to begin by saying I've had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel on two occasions and I thoroughly enjoyed both stays. I must say that I enjoyed my most recent stay that much more because of the front desk agent, David. He was absolutely perfect and he is the epitome of great customer/guest service. He was so friendly, professional and accommodating. He made me feel valued as a guest and customer of Hilton. David, if you get the opportunity to read this I hope you plan on moving into management (if you aren't already) and I pray you duplicate yourself and train those under you to provide the same excellent service you do so well. As a former hotel manager myself I must say Hilton Santa Monica is fortunate to have you, Sir. -Bernard B. (Room# 840) 12/4/2025"

"The room I reserved was larger than I expected, clean and quiet. They did an early check-in, which was appreciated. The only two issues with this hotel were the public areas, which are quite small and feel below the standard of the rest of the property, and the breakfast, which was very basic. If I were to stay here again, I would skip the breakfast. I should note that my comment about the public areas is made with some caution, as this may be related to the hotel's beachside location, where guests are unlikely to spend much time inside the hotel."

"The service was excellent. Hotel staff checked in periodically to make sure all of our needs were met. Breakfast can be included in your booking. I enjoyed breakfast as there were non pork meat options. Location was close to everything. The pier is about a 5 minute walk. We were there for Eagles game and So-Fi Stadium was only about a 10-15 minute drive (account for traffic). There is a public parking lot across the street. The hotel has valet parking and does allow unlimited in and out. If you use the public lot, you will pay every time you have to leave. Room was comfortable and very clean."

"I used to stay at this hotel years ago before its renovation (thank goodness). It was a bit of a dump but its location allowed me easy access access to beach volleyball at the pier, shops at the mall and promenade and plenty of F&B offerings nearby as well as those on Main Street, which I love. The rooms are now better and decently appointed. The lobby and atrium are also tastefully done. Much better than the tired before version! The staff has been super friendly, kind and attentive, including those of valet, porter, front desk and restaurant / bar. I’ll try and add a few more photos prior to departure. Enjoyed the stay and would do so again! Thank you!"
