Learn more about hotels in Santa Monica

Santa Monica, so much more than just a resort town, boasts a unique tapestry of history, culture, and economic diversity. Nestled in Los Angeles County, California, this captivating city is known for both its sun-kissed beaches and the influential enterprises that call it home - including Hulu, Universal Music Group, and Lionsgate Films. A stroll through Santa Monica is a journey through times past, from its establishment by the Sepúlveda family in 1839, to its evolution into an irresistible coastal resort in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The city's canvas is adorned with numerous awe-inspiring attractions, ranging from the Santa Monica Pier, to Palisades Park and the exquisite Hotel Casa del Mar. Indigenous history is emblazoned across the cityscape, as it was the nurturing ground of the Tongva people and staunch bastion of aviation history. Embrace your eco-conscious side while enjoying its resort town charm, thanks to the city's robust sustainability programs aimed at promoting water conservation, green building practices, and waste diversion.

When to visit Santa Monica

Santa Monica plays the gracious host year-round, but for an impeccable melange of warm weather and reduced crowds, consider a visit between September and November. Budget-friendly options flourish between December and February, despite the higher probability of encountering showers. However, if your visions of Santa Monica involve golden sunshine and beach escapades, the summer months are ideal. Whether you visit during the COAST Open Streets Festival in September, American Film Market in November or the Santa Monica 4th of July Parade, there is always something exciting taking place.

High season sees room rates soaring, so it's best to plan ahead and book in advance. However, the golden-rule across all seasons is that Santa Monica is ready to welcome you with open arms, promising a memorable holiday experience that marries history, beaches, culture and endless fun.
