I would highly reccomend this place: great location, friendly staff, huge lobby area with full bar and nice seating area outside overlooking the ocean - it's the best I've stayed in Santa Monica. Rooms are big enough, though you can be not completely happy with the back street view. More

This was my second stay at the Loews in 3 months. The first stay was an enjoyable experience in a nice room. Sadly the second stay was not so good. The so called upgrade room in my opinion was a downgrade. The room was dark and dreary and overlooked a housing estate on a noisy road. Before my luggage arrived... More

The ocean-facing rooms let you soak in the Pacific as well as the colors and action of the Santa Monica pier and everything else going on below (the muscled guys on the rings, the yoga experts on the grass, the cyclists and runners along the beach path.) you could watch the world from your balcony for hours.

there could not be a more beautful beach location. We had excellent service from the staff. handled everything well, including a 200-person business symposium and an electrical outage. The public spaces are beautiful, well-thought-out views of beach and everything bathed in light. The rooms are very spacious with very nice finished. Not five-star, but probably 4-star. Probably not for familes,... More

Stayed here for business. Overall very nice stay. Pretty nice room. Spacious bathroom, very comfortable beds. Big, nice gym. Cool pool area and fire pits for a drink at night. Easy to get to the beach to walk or run. I didn't require much service, but all the service I had was great. My only major complaint was the business... More

Clueless front desk staff, crappy "modern" decor, and a rude call from security lodging a "noise complaint" a whole 3 minutes after arriving back to the hotel with 3 sleeping kids. AT 10:30!!! This place is a far cry from sophistication, and left this family with a horrible taste of L.A. in its mouth. Rip. Off. More

Very nice location on Ocean Avenue about a block from the Santa Monica Pier. The staff are all very well trained (except a bit peculiarly, the staff in the Ocean & Vine Restaurant all seemed to be a bit unfamiliar with how an upscale restaurant should operate !?), and the concierge desk is extremely helpful. I called in advance of... More

Awesome location overlooking Muscle Beach and Santa Monica pier. True 5 star experience, staff very friendly with superb concierge and valet parking. Rooms are excellent ours had an ocean view. While at thr hotel we attended the 'Summer of Loews' event, which was well worth it; live music plus local cuisine and drinks. Can't wait to return!! More

The hotel is located perfectly next to the Santa Monica Pier. Nice rooms with great balconys and a very nice pool area made our stay a real pleasure. Beside the central location for all walks (e.g. to the Pier, to 3rd street promenade or to the palliasedes park) and trips, we especially enjoyed the breakfast on our own big balcony... More

The Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel has everything you need for a nice beach vacation in LA. The location is superb, steps from the beach and Santa Monica Pier. The property is beautiful, rooms are spacious and very well maintained, the cost is reasonable for a beach front location, and the staff was simply outstanding. By our second day, some... More
