One of only two hotels resting on a coveted stretch of the exquisite Santa Monica coastline, Casa del Mar is a historical, luxurious boutique hotel full of glamor and charm.

Built in 1926 as an exclusive beach club, the resplendent Renaissance Revival hotel is tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac and boasts breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean.

Original soaring ceilings and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows remain to offer unfettered views while luxurious accommodations are havens of comfort with modern amenities to ensure every discerning guest’s desire is met.

Designed by architect Charles F. Plummer in the Italian Renaissance Revival-style, the hotel was formerly known as the private beach club of Club Casa del Mar and fast became one of the most famous beach clubs in Southern California, drawing socialites and celebrities from all over. The hotel underwent a huge renovation in 2008 and was tastefully restored to its former ‘Gatsbyesque’ glory to feature 129 beautifully furnished guest rooms and suites, curving staircases, high coffered ceilings and deluxe facilities.

An exclusive spa offers pampering body treatments and massages, a state-of-the-art fitness center is fully equipped with the latest technology and gym machines, the exquisite Colonnade Ballroom seats up to 270 guests for special functions and events, and a magnificent swimming pool with stunning ocean views is perfect for unwinding in style.
