Who recently checked in

Property Overview

Oceana Santa Monica sits on Ocean Avenue in a quieter residential stretch of Santa Monica, about a mile from the pier and a twenty-minute walk from the city center. This seventy-room hotel was voted Travel + Leisure's Favorite City Hotel in Greater Los Angeles in 2023, and has had a consistent presence on the list since. Le Monique, a Martin Brudnizki-designed European steakhouse led by Richard Archuleta of Jean-Georges Beverly Hills, opened in August 2025 and has quickly become a destination in its own right.

Accommodations

The ultimate comforts for your stay.

All seventy suites are approximately 750 square feet, with most featuring a king bed and a fold-out queen sofa. Views are shaped by the suite's position within the hotel’s three-story exterior atrium. Four kitchenette suites are available for longer stays or those who prefer a more residential setup.
Pool + Gym

Heated and heart-shaped.

Cool off in the heated heart-shaped pool at the center of the property, framed by olive trees and oversized daybeds. For those who prefer to get active rather than kick back by the pool, the hotel also has a twenty-four-hour gym with Peloton treadmills and bikes, Technogym equipment, cool towels, healthy snacks, and earbuds provided—everything you need for a proper workout.
Restaurant + Bar

Where timeless French tradition meets Santa Monica soul.

Le Monique is a Martin Brudnizki-designed French brasserie on the ground floor, led by Richard Archuleta of Jean-Georges Beverly Hills. Seafood, steak, and seasonal California produce with a French hand, alongside a wine list that moves between European heritage and local discovery. The room is intimate and richly detailed, with deep tones, carefully chosen art, and soft light setting the tone.

On the rooftop, the Sunset Terrace is a third-floor lounge with open Pacific views, and the right place for a cocktail as the light drops over the water. At pool level, The Veranda handles al fresco dining throughout the day, with James Perse loungers and a fire pit for evenings that run long.
  • Vibe
    Peaceful, elegant, and approachable luxury.
  • Who's it for?
    The relaxed pace at Oceana Santa Monica makes it a top choice for wellness-minded couples and business travelers who want the energy of Los Angeles without being in the middle of it. The all-suite format and residential stretch of Ocean Avenue make it a strong choice for anyone who values quiet.
  • Location
    The hotel sits on Ocean Avenue in a residential section of Santa Monica, directly across from a bridge providing access to the beach. The Santa Monica Pier is about a twenty-minute walk, with the city center in the same direction. The quieter positioning on Ocean Avenue is part of the appeal.
