"The Italian Renaissance Revival–style building is one of two Santa Monica beach icons—the other being sister-property Shutters on the Beach. The airy lobby is a grand one, with its rattan ceiling fans, wicker furniture, and lots of greenery. The feeling of the rooms is rustic and residential, and the Palm Terrace Rooms have private patios with loungers and face a peaceful inner courtyard. Opt for sunset cocktails at the Terrazza Lounge, where you’ll be blessed with 180-degree views of the ocean." - Krista Simmons
"Casa Del Mar — One Key Santa Monica Casa del Mar shares something more than ownership with its sister hotel, the neighboring Shutters on the Beach — as surprising as it may sound, they’re the only two hotels in the Los Angeles area that open directly onto the beach. But while Shutters is clean-lined and contemporary, Casa del Mar is a period piece, an authentic 1920s Italianate palace that’s played host to Hollywood royalty for as long as there’s been such a thing." - The MICHELIN Guide
