Lonely Planet Top Choice
"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
