Regent Santa Monica Beach Reviews

The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with all the amenities you'd expect from a hotel of this caliber. The bed was extremely comfortable, and I appreciated the quality linens and the range of pillows available. The bathroom was modern with a powerful shower and plenty of toiletries. The only minor downside was the view – I had a room overlooking the parking lot, but that didn’t detract from the overall comfort of the stay.

Had a beautiful weekend celebration. The staff and hotel could not be more perfect

My favorite hotel ever. Love Lowes!

Great service, location, definitely would recommend to my friends. A bit pricey parking but I guess it’s everywhere in LA

Very nice place by the beach. Beautiful design and has everything from food to entertainment

Perfect location to stay and enjoy 😉

The hotel is relatively new, with good facilities and a good location. It is very close to the beach and a playground. There are many high-end restaurants nearby within a 10-20 minute walk. We stayed for two nights and saw the waiter change the bedding the next day. I called the front desk to ask for water, and the waiter brought 6 small bottles.

My stay at the Regent Santa Monica was truly exceptional. Despite only being there for one night, I felt like royalty from the moment I arrived. The staff went above and beyond to provide a warm, friendly service, making me feel both valued and welcomed. The luxurious room and prime location were remarkable, but what truly stood out was the tranquility and joy I experienced throughout my stay. I eagerly look forward to returning to this beautiful and wonderful hotel

We had the pleasure of staying at the hotel last week. Let me be the first to say that everything, from the valet who greeted us to Naomi checking us out, was met with pleasure and supreme execution. The rooms are very lavish but incredibly simple to operate. The location is, well, the beach. You are a staircase away from the sand and the pier. The staff is exemplary. Every request was taken care of at the highest level. Valet, bell desk, the fitness center. The amenities are so exemplary that I ordered a large quantity of shower gel to take home. A special shout-out to Brenda and Michael at Orla. They were magnificent hosts. Naomi and Lex at the front desk made the magic happen for our stay. We shall be back shortly, and can't wait to discover all the wonderful options the Regent offers.

From the minute you arrive the friendly staff are all over it, check in was painless, bags arrive at your room and are placed in holders or in the cupboard. The bell boy shows you the features of the room and where everything is and I’d suggest you listen as these rooms are packed with everything you can imagine. The rooms are bright, generous in size with a beautiful lounge and views from our room over the beach to the West This is a recently renovated ( opened October 24) hotel with gear to amenities and great staff,

Been here twice and was very impressed. Used to be the old Loews hotel which was dated and in dire need of a redo. The new owners spared no expense and the quality can be seen. From the coffee shop up front which is on par for coffee in the area, the staff greeting you on the way in (Fernando) and the wonderful restaurant staff. (Shannon and Kitty). The restaurants breakfast was similar to the coffee shop on par with other places in the area but felt that the quality of food and service is above many in the area along with an excellent view. I recommend sitting outside to enjoy! The dinner was great as well mostly got appetizers and a small main which was great. Prices are a bit above elevated but it’s on par for the restaurants on ocean and again you get quality service and food. For breakfast the breakfast platter is a good way to taste a few things and then for the dinner the bread service, a drink, appetizer and a main should be enough. Will be a regular here and would recommend it to others.

The hotel lobby looks very elegant and many restaurants are available .Everything is more classy than before and they now have a nice boutique and coffee shop !I love the ocean view in the lobby area and just sitting in the Lobby with friends !

A Stay in "Fire Pit 2 Queens" - Not a Luxury Experience A Stay in "Fire Pit 2 Queens" - Not a Luxury Experience We chose Loews Santa Monica because it promised a luxury experience "steps away from the sand and iconic attractions." We also liked the fire pit on the private patio and the promise of an "ocean view." At nearly $1k a night for two queens, we expected to be treated to nice splurge. Sadly, the experience fell short. Here's what you should know based on our experience: 1. Expect long check-in delays without welcome drinks. We arrived at 11:30 on a weekend and were told that the room was not ready. We were led to believe that the room could be ready at any moment. We waited in the lobby for five and a half hours for the room to become available. I am sad to report that five or so other guests were similarly situated. While the "resort fee" promises "welcome drinks," no drinks were offered. Communication during the check-in process was poor. 2. Expect a very, very small room and no place to put luggage. Our two queen room was 375ft². This is very small given the layout of the room and the patio door. We had three clam-shell suitcases and no place to put them. We were having to jump over baggage just to get to the bathroom and to the doors of our room. There was also only room for one night table per bed. When two people are sharing a bed, this is inconvenient. While there was a pocket door for the toilet, the space was too small to comfortably dress. The room needs a door separating the bathroom from the room. 3. Expect pool closures without any adjustment to the resort fee. During our stay, the pool was closed for "exterior enhancements." While Loews invited us to show our room key at a "neighboring property" and swim there, management did not provide the name of the property or any details. Guests were still required the pay the full Lowes resort fee. 4. "Ocean view" does not mean that you can see the ocean. We reserved an "ocean view" room and understood that to mean that we would be able to sit outside and watch the waves. In order to see the ocean from our room, we to stand on the patio furniture to see over the high wall surrounding the patio. At Loews, "ocean view" means only that you are on the side of the building that faces the ocean. It does NOT mean that you can see the ocean. 5. The Minibar is touchy and can result in unexpected charges. The Minibar snacks are in a drawer that pulls out. In our room, the drawer had a hitch, causing all the snacks to become slightly dislodged upon opening. This is a trap for the unwary. 6. The shower is lukewarm. We showered on different days and at different times and all of us reported, at best, a lukewarm shower. 7. Lowes is not on the beach. Loews is short walk to the beach. While this did not bother us, it prevents the guest from enjoying a hotel cocktail or umbrella in the sand. It is really close to the Santa Monica Pier and the original Muscle Beach. 8. The room's sh

We found out upon arrival that they would be closing and some services not available. Staff were disinterested which is understandable. Sad to see Not sure what the plan is with hotel so can imagine being back
