Palihouse Santa Monica

Pretty cool new boutique hotel taking a heritage apartment building from way back. Very interesting and funky. Not a full service hotel but good cafe, good location etc.

Staff was very helpful and always blessed us with a smile. The architecture and charm carries over throughout the hotel - if the beautiful bathtub was bigger we may not have had any reason to leave the room. Food/drink service is only available until 3pm so plan to enjoy it - the lobby and grounds are so peaceful and beautiful to work from or enjoy a breather. The loaner bikes came in handy for a ride to Venice Beach, although there is so much within walking distance you dont need them. Our stay included days of pickleball, horseback riding and walks on the promenade & pier. We missed seeing the fitness room until our last night but we will be sure to incorporate it on our next visit. We recommend West Side Oyster Club for the nostalgia and key lime pie.

Impressive property, excellent location, optimum am.

Wonderful staff
