It's always a pleasure to stay at a hip hotel with friendly, efficient service. From the friend who recommended it ("Lots of fun and well-located") to the LAX cabdriver who dropped me off ("You'll love it there"), the comments were all positive. I arrived on an early am flight, and was able to check in right away. Spacious room, comfortable... More

I stayed here mid-May and headed straight to the pool. My room was comfortable and clean with great products, bed comfortable. It was a good value and I would still choose it over some of its more expensive competitors down the street- with a great lobby and ambiance that was a fun getaway during business. I appreciated the champagne at... More

My husband and I had a fantastic 3 night stay, could not fault the Viceroy. Worth finding the extra budget to stay there. 2 minute walk to the beach, staff were amazing, and the complementary coffee in the morning was even more welcoming!!!!!! Perfect, hope to go back!!!!

This hotel is absolutely great. Fantastic decor, service and location. I was worried it might be a little pretentious, but it manages to be stylish and yet relaxed and welcoming all at once.

The Viceroy at Santa Monica is an absolute gem.

It's not the cheapest but its always nice, the staff is amazing and friendly, the rooms are neat, quiet and comfortable, you can walk to anywhere from here and the setting is lovely. If I'm on business I feel like I'm on vacation and if I'm away for a vacation I feel nurtured. And the bath products are great!
