Oceana Santa Monica sits on Ocean Avenue, facing the Pacific and the palms of the beachfront promenade. The hotel is arranged around a central courtyard and pool, giving it a private, residential rhythm despite its coastal city location. Suites are spacious and light, with soft colours, contemporary art and many categories offering balconies or ocean views. Sandpiper restaurant and the terrace spaces keep the focus on Californian ingredients and outdoor living, while the scale remains more intimate than the larger resort hotels nearby.
