accommodations

With more than 3,500 hotel rooms in 37 hotels, Santa Monica prides itself on offering the perfect room, suite or home-away-from-home for every vacationer's taste.

Twenty of the city's hotels are clustered in a 12-block area downtown ideal for visitors who desire the relaxing experience of having fabulous shopping, dining, attractions, and a world-famous beach all within easy walking distance. But the many superlative hotels outside of the downtown area are also within easy reach of the city's many attractions - the whole of Santa Monica covers a compact 8.3 square miles and our public transportation system has been honored repeatedly as one of the best in the nation, so you're never more than minutes from any destination in the city.
