With their depressing almost-black walls, too-narrow hallways, and huge mirrors leaned against the wall behind the desks, the rooms are strangely disconcerting and certainly not worth the $400/nt you might pay with resort fee and tax. With the exception of the worthless from desk rep who did absolutely nothing to amend my disappointment with our room, (except to insist I... More

We have been coming to this hotel for 3 years in a row now. From the moment you enter the St Regis Monarch Beach you know you are in one of the finest hotels in all of the US. The portico and the reception area are stunning examples of neoclassical architecure redone in a not-over-the-top manner. The staff are as... More

Nice local getaway beautiful property. Nice loung bar with live band on weekends. More

I just returned from this beautiful property and was won over by the magnificent entrance and welcome area. The front desk agent promptly greeted us and you could tell he was genuine in appreciation of our business. The bellman took us to our room, which was upgraded due to my platinum amex. The room was great and a fine balance... More

I recently stayed at the St. Regis, Monarch Beach while attending a conference. This was my second time staying at this resort. As the first time, this is an exceptional hotel / resort.

This is the second time we have stayed at the St. Regis Monarch Beach resort for conferences. The location between Laguna Beach and San Juan Capistrano with cliff top views of the Pacific and Catalina Island is terrific. The hotel offers a golf course, a nice beach reachable via a long walk or shuttle and some extensive nature trails in... More

A colleague of mine got an upgrade and had complimentary butler service (pressed shirts, French press coffee). The restaurant (Motif) provided fine meals, and the breakfast buffet was excellent. My main criticism of the... More

My husband and I booked a weekend at the St Regis Monarch Beach at the last minute to get in a few days of golf prior to a business meeting in LA. We booked the Unlimited Golf package and although the neighbouring golf course was certainly not our favourite that we have played, our experience at the hotel was outstanding.... More

We spent our 5th anniversary at the St Regis Monarch Beach in December and unbeknownst to me they were in the midst of a huge influx of SPG points stays that IMO impacted the the service we received in a detrimental manner. This began when we arrived and were not upgraded, despite my Platinum status with Starwood. I passed this... More
