Palihouse Santa Monica

Palihouse Santa Monica

Los Angeles, The USA

Operating as a hotel since 1927, Palihouse Santa Monica is an excellent example of the Moorish influenced, Mediterranean architecture of southern California of that time. Although meticulously maintained the hotel isn’t overwhelmed by its history and adds a light, contemporary touch to the design.

There are only 37 rooms, studios and suites, each generously appointed. The beautiful studios feature fully equipped kitchens as do the one and two bedroom suites. The hotel is located in a residential area, yet just a short distance to Ocean Boulevard and the sights of Santa Monica. Parking is available at the property for a fee of $45 per night.

OUR OPINION:

Low on facilities but high on value, this is an intimate boutique guest experience with huge character, and offers a serene oasis from the hustle and bustle of Santa Monica. The downside to the hotel's location is that there is no parking on-site, however there is valet parking located six blocks away that is available to all guests.

OUR RATING: Medium
