If you're a light sleeper, request a room away from the pool area, where the occasional nighttime pool party can get loud.
Concierge "These days, the Avalon also includes two newer buildings, and the property's style is a hip homage to mid-century-modern style."
DK Eyewitness "This cool Beverly Hills hot spot has intimately lit cabanas that fringe the curvaceous pool."
Rough Guide "A hipster-oriented hotel with cosy rooms and modern furnishings, along with in-room CD players, balconies and internet access (for a fee)."
Travel + Leisure "Hidden down a tree-lined street, this hotel’s three separate buildings are all decorated in quirky, Nixon-era style." Full review
Time Out "Mediterranean charm abounds at this posh hotel’s restaurant and bar, Oliverio." Full review

Fodor's "In the 1920s it was a posh beach club catering to the city's elite; now the Casa del Mar is one of SoCal's most luxurious and pricey beachfront hotels." Full review
DK Eyewitness "An imposing presence overlooking Santa Monica Beach, this 1926 beach club has been restored to its original grandeur."
Concierge "On the fourth floor is the Murad Spa—although massages can also be had in poolside cabanas—and the 75-seat, first-floor restaurant, Oceanfront, has spectacular sunset views."
Jetsetter "A mod take on a California beach club, with prime oceanfront views and a top-notch seafood restaurant."
Time Out "Located on the sand, close to Santa Monica's shops and restaurants, this elegant and architecturally significant hotel is a local landmark." Full review
Michelin Guide "An opulent beach club for well-to-do Angelenos in the 1920s, Casa del Mar was neglected after use as a military hotel in World War ll."
Star Service "Boasting a prime location directly on the beach opposite its enchanting Hamptons-inspired kin, Shutters on the Beach, this is Santa Monica's most luxurious beachfront hotel." Full review
Gayot "Santa Monica's landmark on the sand has become a pure jewel by the beach. Casa Del Mar has been lavishly restored to the opulent grandeur it exuded when it opened."
BlackBook "Chill out, Riviera style, in a chaise lounge, pretending it's all really quite a strain on your busy life."
