Concierge "Now, the hotel has brand-new modern interiors that quietly compliment the building’s great bones, and a low-key glamour that appeals to the discreetly rather than flamboyantly fashionable."

DK Eyewitness "Once the home of John Wayne and mobster Bugsy Siegel, The Sunset Tower is a striking 1929 Art Deco tower."
Travel + Leisure "Gorgeously revived in 2006 by hotelier Jeff Klein, this 1929 Art Deco landmark was once an apartment building to the stars." Full review

Concierge "Snuck in among the posh apartment buildings on the north end of Santa Monica's beachfront boulevard, the revamped Oceana looks and feels more like a home."
Fodor's "Generous-size suites, soundproofed windows, an open-air courtyard and pool, and ocean proximity add up to a delightful boutique hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of Santa Monica’s prettiest hotels, the Oceana has flirtatiously colorful decor reminiscent of the French Riviera. Many of the large suites have views of the ocean."

Travel + Leisure "Lime green, eggshell blue, and canary yellow compose the punchy palette at this retro-beach-style boutique hotel." Full review
Time Out "Across the street from the beach and a short walking distance from downtown Santa Barbara’s restaurant and bar scene, Hotel Oceana’s location cannot be beat." Full review
Star Service " In fact, this remains the best small hotel in Santa Monica." Full review
Gayot "A fresh, bright, airy and comfortable alternative to the massive, and generally impersonal corporate hotels, the Oceana is across the street from the bluffs overlooking Santa Monica beach."
BlackBook "Just steps from the beach and the 3rd Street Promenade. All suites—and really very sweet on service and private beauty."
Zagat4.3
""Gorgeous" rooms and suites (with Frette towels, Egyptian cotton linens and high-def TVs) in a "beautiful deco building" across from the beach in Santa Monica set this "lovely, intimate" find apart."
