Palihouse Santa Monica 1001 3rd Street, Santa Monica, CA 90403

"I stayed at Palihouse in February. I am a sucker for old California Spanish style architecture, so the atmosphere and aesthetic was dreamy. My room had a full kitchen, which had everything I needed except a tea kettle. Would love for them to consider that in the future! The rooms are not tricked out tech wise, but if I have to choose, I’ll take Diptych toiletries and Frette linens any day over tech. The location is incredible and easy access to the walking path on Ocean is a bonus. Overall, loved it enough to return to Palihouse in a few weeks with my daughter and parents."

"Weirdest experience ever. Beautiful property, could be a great experience if management would see better who is meeting people there. Never seen anyone so rude and disrespectful as the men , working at the reception. Beautiful design as I said, but room is cold and not warming up totally. Overall, bed experience, would not come back here unfortunately"

"Could not be more happy I chose to stay here. Hector and the rest of the staff here was incredibly hospitable. Beautifully located place, gorgeous inside and out. Feels like you're in a dream. They also have great orange juice every morning And it's always quiet enough to take your meetings or work in the lobby or in the outdoor areas Thank you for a great time. Will be back"

"We LOVED our stay at the Palihouse -- everything was sublime. The accommodations made traveling with a preschooler much more enjoyable, and the location was ideal -- close enough to everything in Santa Monica but quiet and secluded. The only way it could have been better is if we could order a spritz from the coffee bar, (sadly, no liquor license). We will definitely stay here on our next visit to Los Angeles."

"I've stayed in many hotels in LA and for the last few trips I don't consider staying anywhere but Palihouse. The outside is stately and gracious and the inside is old-world charm. The rooms are spacious, homely and comfortable and the staff are all courteous and helpful. It's a little old fashioned but that is a plus in a world becoming ever more corporate and uniform. As it only serves breakfast (and light lunch) and has no bar, it is more like a grand B&B. This is part of its charm as the large and comfortable communal areas are quiet and relaxing. I'm always happy to return."
