Request one of the "27 series" rooms, which are junior suites that are larger and have the best views.
Fodor's "You might have a sense of déjà vu here since this resort, overlooking L.A.'s largest marina, is a favorite location of dozens of TV and film productions." Full review

"With a waterfront location on a harbor, not the beach, there's little reason to stay here unless you're boating or have a business meeting at the hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Overlooking the world’s largest custom-built pleasure boat harbor, the Ritz-Carlton offers European elegance and deluxe creature comforts."
Travel + Leisure "Set on the waterfront of a small-craft marina, the Ritz-Carlton is one of the more traditional hotel spaces in Los Angeles." Full review
Time Out "Marina del Rey's best hotel is every bit as smart as you'd hope a Ritz-Carlton to be. The rooms are traditional without being stuffy; many have views over the marina." Full review
Star Service "The hotel has a beautiful blend of sleek contemporary and subdued traditional decor fused together with tasteful nautical accents." Full review
Gayot "When travelers hear the word "Ritz-Carlton," no matter where they are in the world, they know they can expect understated sophistication and excellent service."
BlackBook "304-room luxury resort situated on one of the largest, man-made recreational marina. Stellar views, even from your "Juliet" balcony."

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."
