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

Time Out "Palihouse arrives on the Westside, inside a historic 1920s Spanish Colonial building, steps from the Third Street Promenade." Full review
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
