Did not know what to expect when booking. Once we arrived any uncertainty was gone. Beautiful building in an even more beautiful location. All staff were friendly and over accommodating. Room is amazing. All views are incredible. So many facilities. And location can’t be beat. Among the best value for our money ever. Make sure you have at least one drink on the Onyx rooftop bar.

Wonderful Location!”

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Shangri La, the location is perfect close to beach access and a short walk to lots of shopping, restaurants, and the pier. The hotel design makes you feel like you are staying in a golden age of Hollywood hotel. We also stopped at the rooftop bar for a couple of cocktails, it is expensive but the vibes and view are worth it!

If there's a better Hotel Manager than Sven Norreberg, I liked to stay at his/her Hotel.”

This art deco Hotel has a fabulous location, facing Santa Monica beach, the view of which is best observed from the rooftop bar. Any stay at this Hotel is made more pleasurable by the attention to detail meted out by Sven Norreberg, the dynamic Manager, who is absolutely dedicated to his job & his guests.

For Ocean Ave hotels - impressive”

Lots of good things about this hotel. The Agoba to hotel connection glitched a bit which was an initial issue, but it all balanced out. I would’ve appreciated comping of a meal or something, but no worries. The 6th floor terrace was awesome for ocean views, the room was very clean and spacious. Other floors no terrace, but great views. Access to the beach included 111 steps, PCH overpass if one took the direct route, so carrying heavy lawn chairs challenging. Otherwise we plus 70s couple were able to walk to many places. For Ocean Ave hotels, this one was pretty impressive for our purposes. For direct beach access, look on Appian Way! We would stay again!

The Shangri-La is great but I really dislike the $25 a day amenities fee. There is no mini-bar, I didn't use the pool or ping-pong table. Also, the light to the right of the sink is out - Rm 204. Staff was very pleasant. We would've gone to the rooftop bar if we'd known about it. I had breakfast w/ a resident of Santa Monica who told me about it. Thanks!
