As I recall, the rate was something like $550 a night when we stayed here in February (is this a high season for hotels in the LA area?) For that price, the hotel fell a little short of expectation. The lobby and bar areas seem very swank and glam, but for me the rooms are where the hotel really has... more

My husband traveled spent two nights in West Hollywood and then two nights in Santa Monica. We found a great price for the Viceroy Hotel on Orbitz. I was given a few hotel recommendations from friends and the Viceroy was on of them. I had also seen pictures from a wedding here and knew the decor was very stylish. Upon... more

This place is a huge swankfest....very cool, chic, stylish...very "in" and very "L.A." If you are into a 'scene,' this is definitely the place to be. I love the way this hotel is decorated and think Kelly Wearstler is very clever and quite talented. The rooms are FANTASTIC. They are clean, fun, chic and very comfortable. Great beds, down comforters,... more

Amazing hotel for a vacation stay. Atmosphere was great and whole vibe was so cool. Our service was great from the champagne at check in to the speedy service when I embarrassingly requested just a "bowl and spoon" for my store bought fruit loops. lol. Rooms were fresh and very relaxing. We were super pleased with daily service and enjoyed... more

I traveled to Santa Monica on business and was able to get a reasonable deal, after looking at the website I was thrilled to be staying a a small-ish boutique hotel near the beach - even if i did need to work. And, the website made it seem so tranquil - as though my non working hours could be spent... more

Thank you for your feedback on your recent stay with us at Viceroy Santa Monica. During the week you were in town, there was also a large convention in town, which brought a large group to the hotel. It is typically our practice to only have DJ-style music on Tuesday evenings during the summer, as well as Friday evenings, which...

Ok, I can see how some people find the hotel a bit overrated and snobby but I have to say I would go back again. The interior decorating is fantastic - with quirky details and nice touches such as the library. The pool was getting refurbished when we were there - which was a pity as we had amazing weather... more

Great sized room with an ocean view, although with an ocean view you get a nice rumble from the 6 lane road outside during the day. It's not so bad at night but I did use ear plugs just to make sure. The pool was nothing special and quite shaded. It all looks a bit corporate in the room, not... more

Where to start with what's wrong with this place??? ...... Firstly, there is not one full length mirror in the room. The mirrors are tinted grey and "artfully" presented as three separate squares on the wall. You need to duck and tippy-toe to get an idea of a full length view. There is no natural lighting in the bathroom, or... more

We appreciate your feedback on the function of the room, and have recently addressed some of your concerns.We recently underwent a soft renovation, and have replaced our armoires, and placed 42 inch flat-screen TVs on the wall. We are also looking into installing full-length mirrors in the rooms, based on recent...

I stayed in Viceroy in March for 3 nights in room 810 with my cousin. Perfect view from this top floor room. Excellent costumer service from the beginning till the end. Rooms and hotel over all is spotless, I loved the interior design. I had something different every morning for breakfast at the hotel's restaurant, no complains. Only one remark:... more

I have no idea what the previous guy 'morrisTravels' is talking about... they must have stayed in a different hotel to us This hotel is great. The reception staff were extremely welcoming and gave us a glass of champagne upon arrival. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The hotel is spotless... it's even mentioned in the local Santa Monica... more
