Star Service "Service is attentive, rooms are generally oversize, and there are a number of the units that sport kitchens and kitchenettes aimed at attracting well-paid long-stay guests." Full review
Gayot "Just a stroll from the Pacific and mere blocks from posh Montana Avenue and the lively Third Street Promenade."
BlackBook "In an opulent 1927 Moorish revival building, the new Palihouse Santa Monica has an even cozier feel than its Melrose counterpart."
Fodor's "Palihouse Santa Monica caters to design-minded world travelers craving spacious rooms and suites decked out in whimsical antiques." Full review
Afar Magazine "For a beachside pied-à-terre, Palihouse Santa Monica is surprisingly moody and dramatic, with nary a white linen slipcover or seashell detail in sight." Full review
Jetsetter "A new Santa Monica stay with vintage touches near shops, restaurants and the beach." Full review
Wallpaper "The historical 36-room landmark features classic examples of Moorish-influenced Mediterranean architecture." Full review

"Stylish enough to be alluring but not too stuck up or intimidating." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Once a private penthouse, this indoor/outdoor roof lounge retains a sense of glamour from the seaside hotel's heyday in the Golden Age of Hollywood." Full review
Afar Magazine "An art deco icon, built in 1939 for the silver screen stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age, the Hotel Shangri-La is a beachfront beauty made for decadence." Full review
Star Service "Provides business and leisure travelers with a colorful amalgam that blends the booty-centric, after-dark shenanigans of the Viceroy with the more conservative daylight trappings of the Doubletree. " Full review
Jetsetter "Seaside Art Deco hideaway with a rooftop bar and farm-fresh Cali cuisine in Santa Monica." Full review
Zagat "By day, it’s a boisterous, sunshine-drenched hangout, while after dark, it’s a secluded hideout for overnight guests and lucky locals basking in ocean breezes and pricey cocktails." Full review
