Club Casa del Mar opened in 1926 as the hottest address on the Southern California coast - it was the place to see and be seen, renowned for its social scene and frequented by many of the city's elite. Now one of Southern California's most luxurious beachfront hotels; with three extravagant two-story penthouses, a raised deck and pool, and an elegant ballroom facing the sand, Casa del Mar still attracts guests favouring a distinct brand of old-world Hollywood glamour.
Despite dark wood, club-inspired interiors, guest rooms are bright and airy, designed to evoke a grand estate with furnishings like four-poster beds. Contemporary amenities like flat-screen TVs and a movie library are complimented by supremely comfortable beds with sumptuous white linens. Bathrooms are beautiful, with sunken whirlpool tubs and glass-enclosed showers.
The hotel is adjacent to the historic Santa Monica Pier, dynamic Third Street Promenade, the elegant shopping and dining areas of Main Street and Montana Avenue, as well as the gardens, walkways and expansive ocean panoramas of cliff-top Palisades Park.
When to visit
Don't miss the live music at the Lobby at Casa del Mar - from jazz acts, to soul, pop and RnB - there's something to get everyone moving and shaking. Make sure you order the signature Amethyst Lavender Cocktail!
