The Dining Room's ocean-liner décor and sunset views are memorable. The ONYX bar, on the roof, serves signature menu items from a raw bar, gourmet flatbreads, and desserts.

Location and Access

Hotel Shangri-La is located in Santa Monica. It's a three-block walk to Santa Monica Pier, which has a Ferris wheel, carnival games, souvenir shops, and a small, eco-friendly aquarium. The Third Street Promenade, a pedestrian-only outdoor mall with shops, a movie theater, and restaurants like Johnny Rockets, is two blocks away. The hotel is a 5-minute drive from shopping at Santa Monica Place and an 18-minute drive from the University of California Los Angeles. Venice Beach and Abbot Kinney Boulevard are a 10-minute drive or a 20-minute bus ride away. The hotel is about a 30-minute taxi ride northwest of LAX airport and overlooks the ocean and the Los Angeles International Airport.

Hotel Services

The hotel provides facilities for disabled guests, express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, Wi-Fi in public areas, and valet parking. Classy cabanas overlooking the pool and hot tub are furnished with black-and-white sofas and armchairs on Persian-style rugs.

“Hotel Shangri-La distinguishes itself with a blend of Art Deco style and a superb location near Santa Monica Pier, though some may find the rooms a bit dated. The rooftop bar is a major draw, promising vibrant evenings with ocean views, while the pool offers a cruise ship-like feel. It's a solid choice, especially for those who prioritize location and unique design.”
