The 167-room Regent Santa Monica Beach Hotel opened in late October, becoming the first Regent hotel to operate in the United States in more than 30 years. Located across from the beach and near the Santa Monica Pier, this five-star Los Angeles hotel brings a new level of hyper-personalized service to Santa Monica, more akin to the experience in Beverly Hills or Bel Air. From check-in to check-out, every staff member you encounter seems to know you by name, and there’s a unique touch of laid-back luxury here in Santa Monica.
Rooms start at 720 square feet and feature deep soaking tubs, Perricone MD skin and hair care products, separate living areas and complimentary customizable minibars. Cool, soft tones extend from the rooms to most common areas, creating a clean atmosphere that exudes high-quality design. The 10,000-square-foot Guerlain Spa features separate men’s and women’s steam baths, saunas and jacuzzis as well as 12 treatment rooms. Indulge in a customized body massage, then head to Michael Mina’s Orla for Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. While Orla is open all day, you can also enjoy light meals and cocktails at the poolside Azure Bar—and on chilly days, sit by a warming fire pit with a front-row view of Muscle Beach.
